@FiXato Thanks for giving the image description: good Mastodon citizenship there. I should have done it, but couldn’t quite bring myself to…

@rossdouglas Spot on. #JohnMastodon and I have been friends for some time now. He’s modest, selfless, humane, smart and funny. You might think this doesn’t fit him for social media leadership, yet somehow he manages fabulously well.

I find myself in the same position I was in during the early days of the birdsite, wondering what to post. Don’t want to be political or polemical in these early days, but mustn’t be too bland either. Not going to show you the scones I baked, share my latte art or describe my sourdough starter. Nor should I plug my current productions just yet. Easy enough to know what we don’t want Mastodon to be …

… anyway, that’s my current thinking
