Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there
@MelodicDinosaur Heyo and welcome to Mastodon
enjoy your stay here! -
@introvertcatto Thank you
@MelodicDinosaur you're welcome. Also, fediverse can be boring at the beginning when you first create an account but after following few hashtags and curating your feed to your liking you can enjoy it here, you can even find friends.

Hi. Welcome 
@troglet Thank you!

@MelodicDinosaur Hi there! The Fediverse is nice because you can make it as big or as small as you want it to be. I interact with a handful of folks, and that's my Goldilocks zone.
I struggle a lot with needing to know what the protocols, procedures and customs around certain things are. At least for me, there hasn't been too much friction along those lines here, which has made it an enjoyable place to hang out.
Hope it's a good experience for you, too!
@groink Hi Groink :). I'm relieved to hear that's the experience you've had. I relate to the worrying about it getting too overwhelming or accidentally getting something wrong. I'm surprised (in a nice way) that so many people have said hello!
Take care

@MelodicDinosaur
MD, your intentions, approach to social media, and interest in Linux all make you an ideal candidate to join the Fediverse.
I, for one, hope that your experience here will be rewarding for you, and that you will benefit greatly from being involved in this community.@Guillotine_Jones Thank you!

https://fediversum.info/ @the_rebel Oh wow... that looks really cool, I didn't know there was so much. Thank you for this.

@MelodicDinosaur@cupoftea.social Take a look around, figure out what you actually want to do and what type of user you are. The Fediverse has the right services for each and every one of us.
If you want to write longer texts and are more of an organised type of person, then other services are more suitable for you.
First, get started and keep in mind that when you choose a service, you are only determining the appearance and functions that you yourself have.
The person you are communicating with does not have to have the same
Like me, I am writing to you using the #Sharkey service -
@independentpen LOL, so *this* is where we've all been hiding!
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen hiding in plain sight!
