@Everhopeful1000 you too - dipping in and out but slow to find people!
@BeckyWhinnerah oh no wetsuits are SO pricey 😓
I'm just a dipper (max 20min this time of year) as I can't bear wetsuits
@BeckyWhinnerah I went river swimming yesterday and the jump-down in temp from last week was really noticeable
I propose mastodon servers should instead be called 'neighborhoods'
you can pick a cul-de-sac, or one near a bunch of bars & nightlife with a lot of character, or something in the countryside, or a giant condo complex. benefits and drawbacks.
and you can move, and when you do, your address gets automatically updated in everyone's Rolodex.
thx to @emilyriederer ! whose tweet made this thought click for me—even if they don't change the name, I feel like I get it now.

I’ve been informed that a good way of getting started over here is by making an #Introduction
This feels very much like having to go round the room at a work place bonding session, which is a thing I hate with a fiery passion, but here goes.
I’ve come over here in case the bird hell hole collapses. Over there I’m very snarky and make stupid stuff (videos, images, threads, and jokes) and will probably just do the same here. Possibly with less snark. Maybe.
A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:
* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name
UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️

@GeorgeJulian the chilly swim is a great painkiller (or pain-duller at least)
