George Takei

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!

@georgetakei
I was wondering when you’d get here! Welcome George!

Calcaneo

@georgetakei so wonderful to see you here! Big fan!! You were one of the reasons I was hesitant to leave the bird site!
Cannot wait to enjoy what you share!

My Actual Brain

@georgetakei welcome 🖖 I am happy to see that you are here. I hope you can convince your friends with high follower accounts to come over here. It will help the platform grow 🙏

@georgetakei good morning from Jakarta. Welcome! Nice of you to join us. Let’s re-set & leave the bird site behind. You will hopefully find that your timeline is filled with more varied content, not just politics for example. There’s no algorithm to dictate/ push content on you. Generally friendlier folk here & helpful too. Usually the admins/owner of your specific server, who do a marvellous job (Unpaid!) to keep this up and running and dealing with huge influx from bird app.🙂

@georgetakei Welcome Mr Takei, you are an inspiration to us all!

Chris Godwin

@georgetakei So glad to see one of my favourite former tweeters start to toot!

@georgetakei welcome George! You should get a verification link set up on your website and link it on your profile - that way people know it's you.

Deborah Stennett

@georgetakei
Is it weird that I can hear you say "Apparently, this is a 'toot'" in your voice...?

CJ

@georgetakei The #toot isn't a thing anymore. I'm also new to mastodon and found this article explaining why it was even a thing and why some people will miss it.

@georgetakei done... It's an honour mr Takei.

@georgetakei
Forgot - you are great in my favorite TV show "Resident Alien", Good Sir. But you're a lot shorter than I remember!

QKM14

@georgetakei welcome George! You’ve always been a hero of mine, I look forward to reading your toots here!

Jesse F Ballenger

Tafkak

@georgetakei
Hi George,
good to have you here (too), a safe refuge from the reincarnation of the evil Q on the #Birdsite. 😉

JayGoBLUE

@georgetakei Done! I wasn't going to come here, then I saw you did your first toot. LOL

PaddyConvey

@georgetakei Go on then, you follow me, I’ll follow you and together we stick two fingers up at Trump and Twitter!😃👍

Neil

@georgetakei

Damn fine tooting that man. Glad you made the trek to Mastodon 😉

JuliaF

@georgetakei

Are you fleeing from Twitter too Mr. Takei?

I'm follower #176 💕

Rajan

@georgetakei To boldly go where disgruntled Twitter users are migrating. Happy to see you here, it gives me confidence in this network.

ed

@georgetakei hi George! I would also appreciate a follow 😌

Titter

@georgetakei Your toot smells like roses. 🌹 🌹 🌹

Rusty Williams

I'd like to follow @georgetakei but for the life of me I can 't figure out how to do that. I'm rooting for Mastodon to succeed but some of these basic activities need to be more intuitive. (or perhaps you can't "follow". If that's the case then people re-homed from Twitter
like me are going to be really confused).

Rusty Williams

Ah. I just figured it out. I had to click on George's name and go down a level. Bizarre that the three dot menu didn't include it as an option. This qualifies as a top-level action. (I know, there's a lot still being worked on and UX is hard and it's easy to criticize. I'm just expressing my first reaction because some people will just disappear if confused).

Professor Loki

@georgetakei OMG YAY!!!!!!!! Welcome to Mastodon! You just made my night! :blobcatgay:

supernovae

@ProfessorLoki @georgetakei He made mine too - landed on my instance. I'm smashing away at my keyboard adding more capacity while screaming like a little kid in excitement

@georgetakei

To verify your account, you can do this, and it proves you own an official website connected to you.

"Link verification
Mastodon can cross-reference the links you put on your profile to prove that you are the real owner of those links.

The official site you add your profile needs to include a link back to the your new Mastodon profile with the rel="me" attribute in the code of the link tag."

Once both are in place it gives ou a free verified mark proving you are you!

@georgetakei

You need to be following some of us to George. That supposedly is the whole gist of Mastodon. We're all supposed to be kind of equal out here ❤💜🖖

@georgetakei Toot to you too! So glad I found you!

@georgetakei I'd follow you anywhere Capt. Sulu. Welcome to the better place.

@georgetakei
Great to see you Captain Sulu. I'm here looking for a piece of the action--or my brain.
You can find it at spockosbrain.com

Twitter has become unsafe because of Musk's Mirror Universe idea of free speech.
The good news is my activist friends have convinced advertisers to leave his Twitter because it's unsafe for brands---& humans.
We must keep pushing him--& all social media companies--to stop online harm.
We all deserve to Live Long and Prosper.
