When did you ORIGINALLY join Mastodon and/or the Fediverse?

[unnon89@nrw.social]

@catsalad 2021, first on Mastodon Main Instance and 2022 on NRW Social.

Direct after it was in the media that Musk wanted to buy Shitter.

@catsalad Well, actually...

[sonicjazzmonkey@mastodonapp.uk]

@catsalad No 2022 ? that's when I joined. Are we skipping that year ?

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@m From the future!!

Important question — Did we discover any more cat species?

[gritgernhardt@berlin.social]

@catsalad 2022 is missing But that was the year I joined Mastodon.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@sonicJazzMonkey Yes, I'm not quite convinced that 2022 actually existing.

@catsalad I entered the Fediverse in 2011 - at a time when it hadn't been called that way.

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

@senil Tumblr banned the word girl? So no more catgirls just cat*****?

[westernexposure@mastodon.ie]

@catsalad 2022

[catsalad@infosec.exchange]

[virtulis@loud.computer]

@catsalad @loebas despite everyone's best efforts, unfortunately, it did

[westernexposure@mastodon.ie]

@catsalad Yep. You've also forgotten Gen X.

[atarifrosch@fedifreu.de]

@catsalad You missed 2022. That was the year I joined.

[avorritold@piaille.fr]

@catsalad all' right so you've got a problem with people from 2022. Ok I won't take it personally, even if I'm crying

[kurio@sunny.garden]

@catsalad voted 2027 bc 2022 isn't in the options.

[tangersoto@col.social]

@catsalad 2022

[senil@gts.social.senil.me]

@catsalad Very briefly during the holiday period a few years back, Apple suddenly hammered down on tumblr in a way that would remove them from the app store if they didn't do anything, and they chose to go overboard and ban a ton of tags, including girl. Also among the list that are in the "wtf" tier are: insomnia, CW, paint mixing, stim, stimboard, sugar, long post, and even more.

I think at the time there were a bunch of porn bots running rampant and that was why Apple cracked down on them, it was just the timing of it was the usual "nobody is fucking here, it's Christmastide" and they decided to just look at all of the tags porn bots were flooding and called it a day.
