I left Twitter back in 2016 when I realised I wasn't using it anymore and it had come up in a you've been pwnd result. Figured I'd just delete the account instead of resetting the password and didn't miss it.

But I signed up to Mastodon today, because why not? I don't really see why it's being called hard to use. There's some nice apps as well, which is making me more excited for a Kbin app when I wasn't so bothered before...

It’s somewhat harder to find friends on there, but once you do they’ll be quality over quantity. And besides, they even have a cool poll-based RPG account.

I used the time honoured technique of posting a cute picture of my cats and hashtagging it. Also found some interesting people to follow - liking it a lot!

Remember to make your intro post! Tag it with #introduction plus the tags for whatever else you're into. Let the people come to you! 😄

If you post it they will come. (But you’ll have to guess my profile, it existed prior to my discovery of lemmy so I didn’t register using my lemmy.world account)

Ha! I've come to you!

I've created a separate Mastodon profile so you'll have to guess who I am though 🤔

Truly you are a master of disguise
