@meganmariehart I do have some readers who talk with me here, although those who remained on Facebook when I left there were a far bigger group. I regretted my loss of contact with them (apart from those who've become my friends over the years so we've kept in touch) but I couldn't stay on that corrupted platform. I have big respect for your profession.

@meganmariehart I'm a novelist. I enjoy Mastodon as a water cooler experience with people in my various communities, with hastags being useful. Not interested in trying to flog my books here, or seeing any others who do so.
