       I just donated to SDF Mastodon, having just found out how to do that. I wound up here randomly before I really understood Mastodon, but it seems like a nice place. Thank you.

       @CliffWade A few people I follow haven't migrated to Mastodon yet. I keep asking them to.

       @CliffWade The one I had was not my fault. I got it in February of 2020, when nobody here knew what it was.

       @futurebird I just made it a rule that they had to give it the old college try before they called me. I don't remember if I had any formal time limit or number of tries or anything. Probably not. I also encouraged them to help each other, with the caveat that they needed to make sure the person they were helping understood the help. And I really really emphasized asking for help when they needed it, after giving it the old college try, of course.

       @futurebird Thank you for asking this. It made me feel useful, and brought back good memories now that I'm retired. Something else it made me think of was students' reaction when I'd come over to help with a problem they'd been struggling with for a while and point right at it. They would be all amazed and say how did you do that, and I'm like, well I've seen it hundreds of times.  😄
