Was going to PM you, but it isn't working for some reason. Were you able to get past the cookie issue? It could be due to an ad blocker, though I haven't had any issues with mine. Or maybe if you're in incognito mode or opening links inside your reddit app.

At what point/page is it doing that?

Haha. Mastodon is a Twitter-like platform. Big difference is that it's entirely open, anyone can create an instance, and all the instances can talk to each other.

I set this one up so that folks can have a local group that is Maine-centric (the Local timeline). But having an account still allows you to follow accounts from any other Mastodon instance (the Federated timeline).

Personally, my Twitter use dropped off a lot the past couple of years. It was getting to be exhausting and more and more negative. Elon pushed me to find something else.

With Mastodon, I'm hoping to find something like the BBSes of olden times - a group of users free to converse either with the users of their own board or checking out the networked message boards.
