@Mustafa_Kulle @oatmeal I don't think it's going to work with Instagram because even though they let you add a link to your profile and add the rel="me" attribute it actually wraps the URL to ensure it doesn't point directly at an external site like Mastodon.

@oatmeal Good to see you here. The Blerch motivated me many years ago. And now I fear large huge wasps.

@oatmeal all herald the return of the #FailWhale !!! Reminds me of when the internet was meant for something besides parading ignorance on a social media platform and receiving accolades and followers genuflecting! Thank you for bringing joy to me today Matt - everything I've read on Twitter today has made me want to start a new planet.

@oatmeal Wonderful to see you here Matt. I have been a fan of yours since 2010. Welcome to Mastodon. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I like your comics.

@oatmeal Okay, the Oatmeal is here! This #TwitterMigration thing may in fact be happening! 😀

@sirber @oatmeal @danjones000 when twitter had an outtage in the early days a fail whale was displayed. It was later removed, since twitter was stable then.

@oatmeal I want you to know it was your email that convinced me to try this social network. I figured it can’t be bad if the guy who wrote a whole cartoon about Nikola Tesla is going to it.

@oatmeal Bienvenue chez Mastodon ! la farine d'avoine est consommée régulièrement ici. généralement avec des pois verts et de la graisse de baleine qui explose.

@oatmeal The Oatmeal is here. EXCELLENT. This place is feeling more and more like home.

To add just a bit more of an explainer on the 4th caption: It's an undead failwhale. They are pulling the Twitter failwhale up from the deep, once more. :D

@oatmeal so happy you're here! I hope you left a few #MantaShrimp back in the birdverse to take care of those that earn their wrath. 🍤👈🤣

@oatmeal I just shared this last week over there and the kiddies were like what’s a fail-whale? |
@oatmeal Welcome, it’s great to see you on here!
