@Richard_Littler Hahaha I love this comparison!

@Richard_Littler chortle.💪🏾

@Richard_Littler Instantly in love with Babs & Maureen. Love the tea, well worth the wait.

@Richard_Littler listen I’m just happy to be here.

@Richard_Littler I was recently permanently banned from Twitter for rules violation so I've been adrift for a while. I'm new to Mastadon but am becoming familiar w it. No hurry to recreate my Twitter account or experience, just enjoying the journey.

@Richard_Littler

Proprietor: The police, Miss Blennerhassit. Telephone the police; tell them there're a couple of drunks in the Penrith tea rooms and we want them removed

Marwood: Don't do that, Miss Blennerhassit. I'm warning you, if you do, you're fired. We are multi-millionaries. We'll buy this place and fire you immediately.

Withnail: Yeah, that's right, we'll buy this place and install a ****ing jukebox and liven all you stiffs up a bit.

@Richard_Littler 😄 👍 I'm really liking Mastodon so far 🤗

@Richard_Littler We want the finest wines available to humanity.
We want them here, and we want them now!

@Richard_Littler love this analogy!!

@Richard_Littler I luv Babs and Maureen... their spiked tea is fab.

@Richard_Littler please note, not all Mastodon servers have the same rules. You should comply with rules when joining a server you've chosen.

@Richard_Littler I'm not complaing, how cd I when I'v bn so kindly welcomed? Bt part of me feels horrid abt having slowed everything down & ruined things 4 the nice ppl that were on here b4 us. I'm truly sorry.

@Richard_Littler
Mastodon is faster than the bird at the moment 🤣

@Richard_Littler Well, such things do happen. In 1999 there was a tiny rural part of our country, which was inside of total solar eclipse. About 1,000 people live in this area. And on that day about 100,000 people came here to watch the eclipse.

They've bought everything edible from few tiny local stores and bars. Everything! And there was total traffic jam, especially when they all wanted to return after the eclipse ended.

@Richard_Littler strong visual! Lol

@Richard_Littler I’d be more worried about the loo.

@Richard_Littler

If this is what it is, it ain't gonna work unless everybody consolidates to a few main servers. I guess this is why centralization works.

@Richard_Littler There's a tea room? Where do I find it? ;)

@Richard_Littler

Woodstock = but with less mud.
Sturgis = Less Noise and fumes

@neglesaks

@Richard_Littler That!

@Richard_Littler Well Babs and Maureen better get a shift on!

@Richard_Littler
Absolutely

@Richard_Littler
"But, but, but I want my free crumpet NOW!"

@Richard_Littler

I don't find it slow. But having trouble find folks on it. Given they've moved or made account here, of course.

Hilarious!

@Richard_Littler You've captured the essence of Mastodon neatly there :100a:

@Richard_Littler When I see graphs being posted and numbers of "new users per day" it sounds like a backend nightmare. If the servers survive to the Twombies Apocalypse it could become and interesting place to get used to.
