Jason Koebler has a story in 404 Media about how Mastodon is good and to not be afraid of it. It's not difficult to use, people will not be angry with you for using it wrong and it's the best Twitter replacement there is. Threads is yet another bland Zuck hell hole, Bluesky is literally the brain fart of Jack Dorsey and Twitter gets worse every day as Musk pisses all over it. I use Mastodon regularly and it's my go-to for "I want to post something short and sweet, probably with a photo or two, to the internet". All you gotta do is visit aus.social and sign up. If you need people to follow, there's a thread on The Sizzle forums listing subscribers to this newsletter who are also on Mastodon. Ivory is a great app on Mac & iOS and Elk is a great web interface.
