Wow!
Great research. Will definitely try this. Its not like I am in a hurry to access linkedIN. Lets see where this rabbit hole ends.

@Em0nM4stodon
I created LinkedIN account 3 weeks back. Tried to login today and BAM! give us your ID card.
There is no law in India as far as I know to provide ID card. This is so tiresome.

Today I told my daughter that way back when I had high hopes that the advent of the Internet would be a good thing. We would all have information at our fingertips and humans would use their powers for good.
Well, I was spectacularly wrong.
It didn't really take very long to go sideways.
I never felt a hankering to join any of the famous social media giants.
Somehow, on the advice from grandkids, I ended up here.
Mastodon is different.
Thank goodness.
There is real helpful information here just for the asking.
Kindness and acceptance abound.
I am more thankful than my words can describe.
So when you toot that photo of your pet, garden, hobby or whatever makes you happy.
It probably makes someone like me smile too.
Mastodon is an unexpected and much appreciated bridge between people of goodwill.
Summer says dogs and cats of goodwill too.
Can't forget Summer.
Lots of love to our Mastodon friends.

Yes finally we are getting popular 😅

These are the voyages of the Starship Enter-pies. Happy Thanksgiving! 🖖

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

The Spectacular "Umbrella Stick Insect"! 📸✨
This stunning insect, the Umbrella Stick Insect, looks like nature's elegant artwork! Found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, its unique umbrella-like appearance helps it blend perfectly with leaves to avoid predators.
