I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect
I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse
But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)
Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats
@rufustheduck
I'm so glad you love it as much as we do, Rufus! We're glad you're here, too. And Molly. -
@rufustheduck the Fediverse is so great that most other social media platforms feel like a ghetto/ open air prison.
@Oregon_Pacifist agree! Or like an island full of shipwrecked schoolboys
-
@rufustheduck Great to have you here, and glad you're enjoying it!
@stefan thank you!

@rufustheduck she's a beauty. Yeah, the fediverse is a breath of fresh air.

@rufustheduck Hi! I like mastodon, and indeed, there's lot's of great people here.
We are here to share our thoughts
, our life, (part of it...), our heart, and we all feel better in doing so.
I like it here because it's more in line with what I feel social media should be.
I have cats and I treat them like my kids.
Always nice to meet good people.
Nice to meet you Sir!
Thanks!
Best regards,
Kenneth -
@DrCassone it really is!
@rufustheduck I recently opened my own solo Mastodon instance. I really like that I'm helping decentralize the fedi while at the same time I truly own my own experience. It's another option. I'm using a service to host it for me - super easy and cheap.

@rufustheduck@mastodon.social well, welcome to the fediverse. you already found out: no ads, no algorithm, no slop, just fine people
very nice cat you have
