Gregory's ServerI'm here. It's me. Magic!
The (green-ticked) Neil Gaiman
 @neilhimself Welcome to the fediverse from the realm of Chaos. We’ve got cookies on this table, kombucha on the table in the middle… :) @neilhimself woot, one of my rl-heroes joined mastodon - i am wonderfully happy to see you here, sir *bows*   @neilhimself I've trying to access Mastodon for days, but destiny had for me another plan: to enter thanks to Neil Gaiman invitation. It's the best way to start I could think of. So I give you my first letters here in exchange 🙂 Thanks Neil   @neilhimself if its really you, you must prove it; How much sand is in this standard metric sandman?  @neilhimself When trust in who we follow means something! Glad to join you here in this brave new land! @neilhimself Am I the only one who feels like I'm in the middle of the ocean with no flotation device on this platform? (I suppose I'll get used to it soon enough, though...)  Huzzah! Hooray! And other h-words for yay! (So that's how replies work here. Good to know. Now, what's a green tick?) @neilhimself that's neat. you were one of the reasons I was on that other site anyway.  @neilhimself is here, but it seems I’m more verified than him. :ablobcatreach: @neilhimself Is that what a green tick means... Colour goes much better with my country of origin if I do get one, obviously 🙂 @rickoshea It’s self verification - turns link in your bio green. (Just did mine, super easy, copying the code from profile setting and pasting to site) @rickoshea Ah, there’s a line of code on the mastodon settings page that you can copy/paste to your own site. That identifies you as the owner of the site and the link turns green in your mastodon bio. @rickoshea Was expecting it to be far more fiddly … but done in a minute. (Thanks Keychain)  @neilhimself Good sir, with how fond you are of Tumblr, I’m certain you’ll fit right in here!   @neilhimself Great to see you on Mastodon Neil! We kept the big armchair by the fire free for you. @neilhimself It's good to see you here. You, Terry Pratchett, and Jim Butcher have been the truly formative voices of magic for me. You made it weird, and I couldn't be more grateful! @neilhimself is that like being the green lantern? ;) nice to find you here as well. It’s a bit less crowded. Don’t know how often you check this feed, but in case you missed it, our show with Hayley Campbell was super awesome https://youtu.be/jBFaMellFyg @neilhimself Welcome !:da_la: You Sir made my day! Lovely to have you on the fediverse @neilhimself 'say something smart, something worthy'... writes a little meta #welcome to the #fediverse @neilhimself LOOK!!!! Neil Gaiman is here!!!! This is the coolest thing to happen to me since my kids were born! Please don't tell my wife or kids I said that. They might take it the right way. @neilhimself Welcome! Great to see you here! We met once in Porter Square Books :) I was wondering, how might one contact your agent? @neilhimself thank you for the link - I had tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to get an account here until your invite. @neilhimself Welcome! I'm still trying to find out why I'm here. But it may be saner than the blue goo we came from. @neilhimself I have no idea what I’m doing, Mastodon is confusing. Thanks for the invite. If anyone would like to follow me you can expect I’m fairly mild, like the weather on a good day and a stuffy nose cold on a bad day. I paint, code, and dedicated my career work to a sustainable planet. The planet has deadlines and goals. The deadlines are tangible and scary, the goals are more difficult to describe but full of hope. @neilhimself it's like putting the band back together, except I wasn't on the original band so I'm a new groupie @neilhimself Got to love the mastodon devs self-verify approach. It's really neat. I did it yesterday, and it was really easy too. @aug24 - how? your name doesn't have a tick, mine was just copy-n-pasted to include a tick emoji! @RiverMersey That's not how it's done here. Take a look at my profile, and you'll see that I've got a confirmed link to a web site I control. @neilhimself The pedant in me wishes you were on a writers' instance, but I'm glad you're here nonetheless! 😉 Hi . I am all alone on Mastodon. Just like in all those parties I crashed when I knew no one. Except, er, sober @neilhimself hi! clicked on your invite on Twitter, but no idea hat to do. Let's see where this takes us Hi. Do you know where a Blarple might find a few shlarps? I just need like 2-7 more for my dream floob! @neilhimself Whaaat, like, for real? @neilhimself hurray, welcome! Hope you don't crash the server by bringing a wave of followers. 😁 @neilhimself Hi Neil, Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC here. You've probably heard of me x @neilhimself@mastodon.social Good call, let's leave twitter to rot, and make the fediverse big and relevant.  @neilhimself Yay! I was already thinking of moving here thanks to Stephen Fry's move. Your move cemented the deal :P |
@neilhimself welcome to this wonky network of wonky little islands on the internet.
