People who like graphs, here is the recent spike of activity thanks to India discovering Mastodon in the context of the last 6 months of mastodon.social

Feel free to use cross-posting in a way that helps Mastodon grow, i.e. copying posts from Mastodon to Twitter, but please avoid doing it the other way around, see our rules on that matter:

Thank you for understanding!

Opened birdsite after a "detox" period on #Mastodon
Actually felt weird. The layout felt unfamiliar and my TL was just making me angry
Thanks @Gargron

Echoing the tips others are posting, if you upload a profile picture and post a little bit before following others you'll have a much higher chance of being followed back or talked to!

Honestly if anyone's gonna solve the impossible programming problem of the century, it's not gonna be a silicon valley startup looking to optimise their subscription-based ingredient delivery service, it's gonna be the guy who makes dwarf fortress because one day he decided to try and implement something like randomly generated recessive genetic disorders in sheep

I have never ever in my life felt so proud to be a #Muslim from #India than today. Because my coreligionists have come out to be highly dignified throughout the whole #babrimasjid fiasco.

#india #introduction I dunno what to say about myself. I have been a GNU/Linux user for about 15-20 odd years. Have had the pleasure to travel all over India for workshops and such. Have been on mastadon and the bluebird site since long although have started social media more so in the last 6 months or so.

#My interests are varied, I love learning and sharing about law, technology, environment, sci-fi, books, music, movies, the list is endless.

Mastodon is awesome, where you can be
1- Verified
2- Double Verified or triple or in multiple
3- Unverified
4- Anti Verified
5- Fake Verified

Use & mock #birdsite

Wishing you all happiness, love & prosperity on the auspicious occasion of Eid-e-Milad Nabi. Mubarak.

#introduction : I'm a Bombay boy working with Mumbai Mirror.
I cover the city's lower courts.
I love science and technology and can talk about it for hours on end.

@jamewils
It will b greatly helpful if this instance admin or other concerned puts up info on

*how mastodon is difft from twitter

*Policy reg disclosures to govt shd they demand it

*What threat perception mastodon has on privacy issues- what happened at twitter (info theft for saudi authorities) cd happen anywhere especially at mastodon.

*privacy security n responsible moderation r 2 of biggest usp of mastodon. If we can harp on these 2 points on Twitter, that will expedite the exodus.

Hi peeps, join me in welcoming
@VakashaS to Mastodon! He's a Legal Editor at @thequint.

BirdSite unfairly locked his handle simply for reporting the court proceedings in the #AyodhyaVerdict. Follow him here!!
