Hello, I’m Colleen from Glasgow UK
I’ve found Mastodon in my decision to stop using FB/Insta/Threads etc, and so far am loving it - not least due to the lack of adverts
I’m an accountant by trade; pianist, dog and cat lover, and avid reader in my spare time.

#joy@Colgrace Greetings from
️. Well done. Welcome to this oligarch-free zone. Not just no ads, no tracking and monetisation of your data, no pushing things you'll react to to keep you engaged, no shadow banning, no algorithm... just a chronological timeline you control.
FWIW You can use Signal instead of WhatsApp all or some of the time (if you're still using. I deleted it the day Facebook bought it, & Twitter the day Musk bought it).

@Colgrace Welcome - hope you enjoy it here - I'm also on Bluesky, LinkedIn and the dreaded Facebook but definitely find I'm left in a much better mood after looking at my Mastodon feed than the others. My profile pic is our Hungarian rescue Freddie. I get a bit worked up about politics, lack of democracy and inequality. A fan of Douglas Adams - definitely one we lost too early...
@grenelliot @Colgrace RIP Douglas

Welcome Colleen!
If you want help with using this place, please feel free to ask.
There is also lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips (especially at the top of the page in the part marked "Quick Start").

#joyWelcome.
Note: This is the #Fediverse as opposed to only Mastodon. You can move from one Mastodon home site [ such as your current home at mastodon dot social ] to another and from Mastodon to other Fediverse home sites sites that work in a similar manner. Akkoma and Pleroma sites are two examples. They all work together.
Further, there are Fediverse multimedia sites that work the same way and that also talk to Mastodon and similar sites. And, in general, it's not corporate controlled and it's often more rational than you'll find in the Old World sites.
You'll find trolls in any social media. However, the setup here makes it more difficult for them to get traction and to initiate dogpiles.
The Fediverse is, too, friendly to dog and cat fans. Check, for example, the hashtag #caturday. #caturday is where people post photos of Tom Baker covered in kittens. Credit for that post goes to:
