Photograph of #Mastodon founder #JoanMastodon from the early 1960s. Mastodon is seen manually transcribing telegraphed toots into the first ever instance (in background). Mastodon gained late fame when she was banned from Twitter while being mistaken with a guy called #JohnMastodon who actually never existed.
Our member John Mastodon has printed some propaganda sheets and placed on tables around DisObey :)
I, for one, look forward to the day when I can stop pretending to be John Mastodon on the Fediverse and just be myself.
(Yes, I am the one who edits A LOT.)

Rare photograph of #JoanMastodon and #JohnMastodon, early 1980s, testing the first virtual reality instance in their decentralized network: MastoTRON 0.1. They were far ahead of their time and fighting for the users.
So goodbye Twitterverse node
Where the dregs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your outhouse
I’m going back with my towel
Back to the Fediverse civil discourse
Chatting with Mastodon John
Oh I’ve finally decided the future lies
Beyond the Twitterverse node
We Will
We Will
BLOCK YOU
I see your #JohnMastodon and I raise you #FediMercury
Die Urgrossmutter von #JohnMastodon, Johanna Meister-Dorn, stammte übrigens aus dem Emmental. Sie war als gelernte Käserin die Erfinderin der Löcher in der später weltbekannten Käsesorte und die erste bekannte queere Feministin der Region. Johanna Meister-Dorn sorgte 1948 für Aufruhr am Hornusserfest in Trueb, als sie in einer flammenden Rede die Aufnahme von allen Geschlechtern in die Hornussergesellschaft forderte. 1/2
