I just want to say that joining Mastodon has been one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had online. I have always been a passive consumer of social media, reddit, Apple forums, & Twitter as to be honest, I found so many of the people on these services to be toxic, rude, and unwelcoming.

I joined Mastodon, mainly to keep up with my internet friend @379d8cad, and I have been overwhelmed with the genuine support and encouragement from many other like minded bloggers and writers. It’s just really awesome to find a group of people who all seem to be rooting for one another’s success. Thanks to all who have followed, commented, and encouraged me to come out of my shell a bit. 😊 

 @cfb180ce I couldn’t agree more, Brandon!

I was hesitant to give Mastodon a try, but am so glad I did. What a difference from the other “social” media.
