wandering.shop is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
Wandering.Shop aims to have the vibe of a quality coffee shop at a busy SF&F Convention. Think tables of writers, fans and interested passers-by sharing drinks and conversation on a variety of topics.
At work if I leave my workstation I have to take the keys, my employee pass, my phone, and my wallet, along with a memo pad + pens because my colleagues like to mention things in passing but not in email.
