   I made an account at Threads, which is Instagram's tentacle reaching out to join Mastodon. Instagram is vapid but Mastodon isn't really hitting home runs for me either*. I don't expect anything specific from this experiment - let's just see what comes of it.

   Right now the connection isn't working for Australia. I'll just see what life is like on the other side while keeping busy here.

   * partly I'm tired of hearing about USA politics. There's 195 countries in the world.

     @lardmotel @MaxCorp cannot find @lardmotel@threads.net is it under a different fediverse handle?

     @lardmotel I'm not on Threads but may set up a profile... are you also Lard Motel on that? (Not a sentence I expected to say today)

     @MaxCorp @SDF hi Stephen - it’s likely because the service is not yet open to Australian users. Only for US UK and JAP. I’m not sure why maybe it’s still beta.
     But in looking there not sure whether Threads is a good Mastodon partner. There are many people on there with all the effects of scale. Could be a culture shock.
