A guide for friends considering Mastodon

A lot of my friends have recently been considering leaving Twitter for other networks, and many are considering Mastodon. There are many guides floating about that can tell you about Mastodon and the Fediverse, which is really exciting! It can be overwhelming to sort through them all, though, and honestly I haven't read them since I know my way around.

So, this is the blog version of me sitting down with a friend explaining what I know about Mastodon and how I'd recommend approaching setting up an account there for the first time and getting oriented.

What's in this:

1. What is the Fediverse / Mastodon?
2. Why would I want to join?
3. Where do I start?

/**
 * Pressjitsu Remote HTTP Cache
 *
 * Many plugins like to perform remote HTTP requests for front-end visits,
 * sometimes without even employing transient caching. We think that *all* HTTP
 * requests should run in the background, and thus be always served from cache,
 * even if the cache is stale.
 *
 * Configure cachable hosts via the pj_http_cache_hosts filter.
