It is 3 days since my new pleroma instance is up now and about 1.5 week since I have been introduced to the world of federated communication. I genuinely am so happy about it. I have found some really interesting people to follow.

In genral this world feels more like home than it did on the commercial counterparts of pleroma and mastadon.

* It feels calm
* The discussions are civil,
* People are cordial and helpful.
* It does not feel like we are in a shouting match and
* It does feel like we have some common goals and ethics.

Last few days alone have been so rewarding in terms of what I have learned and with people I have interacted. Some fellow members who have touched my emotions at some level in no particular order:

@bob
@brainblasted
@lain
@angristan
@schestowitz

I look forward to coming days and hope for something positive to brew out of this experience.
