For those new Fedizens arriving from #Bluesky, here’s a little introduction to our lord and saviour, John Mastodon.
And remember to always, and I mean always, add #AltText to your images!

“When the darkness fell on blue
In the year of twenty-two
The chanting started to ring true
The call went out to me and you
Join Mastodon
Join Mastodon
How could they have ever known
Their words were forming sacred tones
The ancient forces in the stone
The summoning of flesh and bone
John Mastodon
John Mastodon
John Mastodon, they love their mum
They have alt-text written on
The tattoo on their arm
Of a hairy pachyderm

The chants grew loud as we watched on
The coming of the chosen one
They emerged triumphant from
The ancient portal of Gargron
John Mastodon
John Mastodon
Linking people across the earth
They lead them to the Fediverse
Their admin army show their worth
Shouting loudly in their mirth
Join Mastodon
Join Mastodon
John Mastodon, they’re the one
Who takes the corporate socials on
They give their code to everyone
For every platform you might run
John Mastodon

Join Mastodon x8
Sweating blood and guts and tears
And fighting bots and billionaires
An artist and engineer
With indie songs in his ears
John Mastodon
John Mastodon
Ditch the birds and book of faces
Leave behind the corporations.
Tooting old computer cases
Open source on all our bases
Join Mastodon
Join Mastodon
John Mastodon knows all the tricks
Of every distro of Linux
They stay engaged in politics
They fought an army of Fediverse chicks
John Mastodon
John Mastodon”
