Trying a thread of daily toots.
A friend of mine does this on the birbsite, let's see if I can do this.

Problems which new users comment about on Birdsite. Knowing these might help with designing future promotion campaigns.

They have signed up but don't know what to do

They think they need to reserve a particular username, as would be the case on Twitter

They either don't understand instances or do understand them but dislike the concept because they have no idea which one to choose

They describe the fediverse in negative terms as a "fractured userbase". Technically true, but not understanding why this is advantageous compared to a monolithic model

Not enough of their friends are here (the network problem)

They tried Mastodon once, but then the instance they were on disappeared

They have commercial preconceptions about business models and a need for "competition" to be sustainable, not understanding that the fediverse isn't a business in the same way as Twitter of Facebook

RT @MadFest@twitter.com: Stunning Tamamo no Mae cosplay by Cosplay Star @Ely_eee@twitter.com at Melbourne! 😍 Photos by @CreedPhotograhy@twitter.com 📸 t.co/yrwzTAezao

And of course, the chronological timeline (which can be done in the birdsite with 3rd party apps)

In the end, sometimes I feel like I'm using mastodon because I can flag pics as NSFW

RT @SakakiIsCute@twitter.com: If you type "anime" with an accent over the e you deserve everything that comes to you

RT @TeeDotally@twitter.com: ANIME IS A MEDIUM; NOT A GENRE.

It would be great if mastodon had translation, like, well... almost every other social network =/

Hate it when ebook producers/publishers create bloated files by adding extra images that aren't required...

Someone couldn't find the € symbol in the font they were using, so imported an image of a Euro symbol instead.

Daft bastards!;*

How to get people to join Mastodon

A guide by... er, me

- Show them a screenshot of your favourite open instance.
- Tell them it works well in browser on mobile.
- Tell them the admins are good people who ban nazis.
- Invite them to join your favourite open instance.
- DO NOT use the words federated, instance, or free and open source.

After they've joined, send them here:

- Cross-poster: crossposter.masto.donte.com.br
- Find your Twitter friends: bridge.joinmastodon.org/
