@lyds oh god what did I do to warrant this being dug up
silly meta observation
plus I very rarely make public posts here either, mostly unlisted. maybe that should change as I dig back into things
FYI for newbies
Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.
@welshpixie @Zaz Cheers! Glad to have you aboard along with everyone else joining! Let us all make beautiful things happen together ![]()
@f0x Yeah, I may boost without thinking sometimes but I accept responsibility for that and try my best to go and check the person's vibes, especially when I notice comments after the fact that weren't visible because of our very thorough suspend list
Say, I wonder how much info about replies is actually relayed back to the server, to see if there is a way to add "Reply from suspended account/instance" placeholders to a thread
@codl I suppose that's what the groups feature could theoretically address but it's also terribly implemented and pushes homogenization into spaces that pride themselves on distinction
Hoping everyone fleeing from Twitter can find the community they want here, and that it can be a bit safer from the rot of capitalism for them. https://botsin.space/media/9FSgumIh3mMW85P_n9w
twitter, social media dystopia, also racism
@shahaan@eldritch.cafe yeah, I saw the writing on the wall years ago when they neutered the API to force people to use the first-party software. Left and never looked back, and I've only been continuing to be proven it was the right decision since
People talking then and still do about how they stick to twitter to "build their brand" like, is that really how you want to live? Really?
People who cite the fediverse's antiblackness problem though I get. Shit sucks, we need to work on that, but really, it isn't exclusive, the Algorithm just usually segregates the fuck outta things
Another exodus?
Hello, welcome, Please remember that:
* Masto supports image captioning which not only benefits the blind but also just helps generally because sometimes not everything is obvious.
* Content Warnings are a thing here. No, they're not censorship because you literally just click "Show More".
* Please be mindful of what you post. Carefully consider whether a CW is warranted. Think long and hard about whether your unwarranted advice is justifiable.
* Be gay, do crime.
* Awoo.
@Runner unfortunately the wider internet has made it clear it's no longer interested in IRC
