To all the new users:

Mastodon is like Twitter, but without the crappy attitudes, crappy algorithms and bad manners.

Here you work harder to find peeps, but once you do, it's an amazing place to be and interact with. #twitter #mastodon #fosstodon

Hellooooo World! Time for #introductions

I am a big fan of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
I dislike Big Tech (Facebook, Microsoft, Google) eroding our rights to privacy.
I post news about how they screw us over. I also post about FOSS news, software I like and use.

You'll see the occasional funny meme/video and funny commentary.

I think that's me?
Thanks!

PLEAAASE!

Firefox Beta & Nightly for Android should have internal updaters, like Signal has. Why is not a thing?
