I tried looking up how to switch servers on here, but wasn't successful. Anyone have a link that gives easier instructions? #TurtleIsland #MastSocial #DodgingSpammers

Properly setup the Turtle Island Mastodon instance can be a far superior experience compared to corporate social media.

But it’s up to you to create your own algorithm!

There is a certain portion of new users that sign up on TurtleIsland.social (or any Mastodon/Fediverse instance) that do not set up their account optimally. This likely will ensure a sub-optimal experience and before you know it, they are gone and maybe never come back.

Like I said last night 'TurtleIsland/Fediverse can be real touching and personal, I tell ya! So grateful for y'all.'

If anyone in Fediverse land wants to migrate to TurtleIsland.social, here's a guide. I think its a pretty straightforward process but I know I was in anxiety the first time I did it.

Media mode is great for artists
The media tab on Bluesky filters out posts with no media, that’s it. On TurtleIsland.social, the media tab also filters out posts with no media, but additionally goes into an Instagram-like grid mode (see header image above), which is very cool.

Happy days… this is a real strong point for artists, photographers or anyone that wants a portfolio of their work.

Since Part 2 should be coming out later today, if you haven't seen (the slightly edited) Part 1...

The most important facts here: TurtleIsland.social is a Native owned and operated Mastodon instance. Beyond that, there are already over 8000 Mastodon instances. Billionaire corporate independence is a reality today.

I understand that Indigenous people in Canada have no good reason to trust the colonial government, but I really hope that they will see some value in participating in this existential election.

The MAGA-Cons are nazis that MUST be kept from power, so every vote matters.

Participating in Canadian elections is exercising individual power for everyone that botes, it's not a capitulation to the colonial system.

TurtleIsland.social is born

In my mind, October 27, 2022 was the seminal moment, when Elon Musk bought Twitter. Within a week or so, in November of 2022, my favorite relative Tzipporah and I joined a Mastodon instance. Within a month, we decided to operate our own instance and on December 5, 2022, what was to become TurtleIsland.social was alive.

Both have pros and cons, let’s start with background

For background, most people reading this understand that X (formerly Twitter) and Meta (Instagram and Facebook) are owned by slimeball MAGA billionaires and are very disrespectful to BIPOC and left of center people. I’m not going to expound on that.

When you're Black or Brown (in my case) you have to be "nice" or the anti-Black enablers and White Supremacist uplifters will take your resources immediately

I'm sick of bending over backwards to have my needs met

We're being killed by facism either way

We always have been since the colonializers came to #TurtleIsland
