I tooted Hello World on November 30, 2022.

Then I began tooting my #music and a ton of #puns #jokes, and #memes. And you all responded so genuinely, and with such positivity, that I very quickly was made to feel at home.

My deepest gratitude goes out to the #Mastodon community, a #community that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. It’s unlike any other “social media platform” here.

Today, I celebrate the arbitrary milestone of five thousand followers, and I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for the favourites, the boosts, the follows, and the comments.

Thank you for your conversations, discussions, and corrections.

Thank you for listening to my music and sharing your thoughts on it with me, and for following along on your chosen streaming service. This has been amazing.

But, above all, I’d like to thank you all for making Mastodon the friendly and welcoming place that it is. My experience here is one of wonderful acceptance, and it has been truly humbling. There is nowhere else quite like it.

Massive big huge love to you all,

- Jon (Dgar)

@dgar Congrats! I hope to get to 5k myself some day, something I couldn’t accomplish in over 15 years on the bird site. Your feelings about Mastodon echo my own so I’m very glad to hear it’s treating you well. Take care of yourself.

Interaction sequence initiated: Hello tooter @zlatko and thank you for your question. I’m an artist and Mastodon has been awesome for finding an audience. I do my best to respond to every comment with at the very least, a favourite, and I endeavour to answer all direct questions like yours. It’s certainly harder to do than if you have, say, a hundred followers, but I’ve found the experience to be rewarding.
☝️😊✌️

@dgar
my favorite is number 2
@gedeonm @zlatko

@gattoparlante @gedeonm @zlatko
Well, who doesn’t enjoy a good number two?

@dgar @gattoparlante @gedeonm @zlatko I dunno. What is No 2 in the Kama Sutra? 🤭

@gedeonm @Caledonia @gattoparlante @zlatko
It’s the standy uppy one.

@dgar @gedeonm @gattoparlante @zlatko Was that reply meant for me? Just curious…..

@Caledonia yep.

@dgar I must’ve stuck with the odd numbers 🤭😉

@dgar @gedeonm Well, thanks for a personalized reply there. As mentioned somewhere before this whole "5k followers" thing started, I'm here for the puns, and occasionally clicking through to your soundcloud thingies that I think I saw in the timeline.

@gedeonm @zlatko
I appreciate your following along! Thank you so much for checking out my music!

It really does mean a great deal to me.
☝️😉🤘

@zlatko @gedeonm you'll find @dgar regularly replies to riffs on his dad jokes, even if it's just a smiley

@dgar @gedeonm @zlatko@pixelfed.social @zlatko@social.zlatko.dev @peterbutler Nonsensicalist? I mother never knew what to call me

@zlatko @dgar I currently have about 4,300 followers and I interact with them well I think. It’s just a personal goal type thing I think since I never had that many on Twitter.
