You gotta find a Mastodon instance that you'd like to join then go to their main page then sign up there. Keep in mind some instances have closed registrations or registrations where you send an application that can be accepted or rejected.

https://fosstodon.org is an instance for FOSS enthusiasts and could be a food starting point. I'm assuming you're a FOSS enthusiast because you managed to make your way to Lemmy 😋

Thank you for taking the time to write that and pointing me to the fosstodon instance! I just got my account there :)

I even found a mastodon.social entry in my password manager from x years ago. I guess i had a better experience back then on how to sign up. I really struggled this time. I guess things don't get easier the older you get.

Well someone already right-clicked an NFT profile pict, somehow make it as NFT, and use it as their own NFT profile picture with hexagon shape as if it's genuinely bought from the same source.

That's hilarious! As if I needed more proof that NFTs are a joke. 🍿

Oh no they allow all nfts and not just those that I want /s

wait, what does this person think twitter should do? limit it to "verified" collections? i assume that means verified by opensea, somehow?

this whole thing would make a lot more sense if opensea would just use a normal database and stop pretending that they actually want to be trustless and decentralized.

Given how bit Twitter is... funny thing is that this will make NFTs "real". Also they can block right-click with JavaScript to some extent :D
