I'm gonna share this again because I'm still in awe my hands were able to create this

There have been many waves of exodus from Twitter. When new people arrive they often bring with them their larger-than-life Twitter persona with them. I understand what that's all about, because it's how Twitter trains people to behave if they want to be seen and engage with their audience and so that the timeline algorithm works in their favour.

But here in the fediverse you don't need to put on a big performance. You can be more authentic, and just hang out with friends. Edginess which would be rewarded by the algorithm on Twitter tends to be discouraged here, and might even get you blocked.

Some of my friends are sex workers and after a conversation I had last night with one I once again feel the urge to scream "Fuck SWERFs" into a void, so this is it, this is the toot. Fuck every last SWERF

TIL that linktr.ee pages, which exist to serve a *list of links,* something websites in 1995 could do, does not load at all without JS enabled.

people you @ in your DMs can read your DMs

*grumbles in admin* I dun wanna and never will read your damn dms.

Remember, the fedi is ephemeral. It's valid to change instances if the one you're on doesn't fit your needs. There's a whole slew of communities out there!

just treat it as a space where you probably won't but totally could be overheard, which you should be doing anyway, and take anything weirder or more sensitive to a platform you actively know is secure

"Mastodon admins can read your DMs!!!!" bro have you ever used a forum before because it was true then too this isn't a new phenomenon or something

the next machine you call “woke” i am imbuing with sentience. do not test me
