I came in November 2022 in the big migration from Twitter when it came under ownership of a... Well, I'd rather not write down my opinion of the owner of the site that used to be Twitter.

@jwildeboer I’m not just new to the Fediverse but I’m new to social media. I avoided signing up for a social media account until February 2026. Curiosity got to me. I chose Mastodon because I read “The Internet Con” by Cory Doctorow.
@coleenwalter @jwildeboer Welcome!

@jwildeboer 7 years with this account, but I almost forgot I tried Diaspora somewhere around 2014, so a dozen-ish years?

@jwildeboer
Should have checked more thoroughly. It's more than 5 years, not 3-5...

@jwildeboer Seit Elon Musk Twitter aufgekauft und in eine rechte Jauchegrube verwandelt hat. Ich sagte auch, das Twitter damit tot sei. Ach, wäre es doch nur gestorben, statt verdreht, gebrochen, zerrissen und zerfleischt worden zu sein hin zu X.

First insight: "Far longer than I originally thought" is quite popular

@jwildeboer I wasn't sure if it was less than 3 years or more than 3 years, so I checked the join date on my oldest account. It's been 6 years. Damn.

@jwildeboer I’m new to Mastodon but old to social media. The others have … an unpleasant user experience. Wanted something different. And my wife made me do it.
As usual she was right. -

@jwildeboer I put more than five years because I think my .social account was made in 2019/2020. I first made an account before Lunduke fell off the deep end and reported on Mastodon existing. I think that was in 2017/2018? I don't want to think about how long ago that was...
