#Welcome
Not sure how to do this I was told I should make a welcome post as a new user.

I'm an old disabled guy that loves free and open software and privacy. I'm in the process of getting rid of the fatal five (Google, Apple, FaceBook, Microsoft, Amazon). Just got rid of my Google account on Tuesday! FaceBook went over a year ago. Found out about this on YouTube. Looks like a great community!

Btw, I use Arch :)

We haven't had many entries into the second round of the Fosstodon donations. If you get 2 minutes, please do add a submission for a donation.

Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name subjects and topics that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

#CouchPotatoing #graphics #linux #ScienceFiction #tattoos #CyberSecurity #minecraft #reading #writing #WebDesign

Seems we have had another influx of new users over the last few days. Welcome everyone!

A couple of people from various instances have mentioned that #Mastodon is confusing at first. So I decided to write a comprehensive guide on how to get started with Mastodon.

Hopefully this helps new users to Mastodon. Please do Boost if you feel it could be useful to others.
