  1. One of the things I like about Mastodon is this: when a troll tries the old "anyone who blocks me is just admitting that they have no argument" tactic, we don't fall for it and just go ahead and block the troll.

    Go back to X with that sophomore crap! 🤣

    Blocking trolls is both fun and good self-care.

  2. @libreinator What's mh--? Haven't heard of that before 👀

  3. This weekend, I witnessed the Ekpo masquerade for the first time — a sacred tradition among the Ibibio, Annang, and Efik peoples of southeastern Nigeria.

    Rooted in African Traditional Religion, Ekpo once served as spiritual connection, moral guide, and community protector.

    Just because 10 people on the Fediverse have certain norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics does NOT make these the culture of the Fediverse.

    Not even if it were 100 people.

    Not even if it were 1,000 people.

    Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!

    No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

    There is no such thing as FEDIVERSE CULTURE.

    The Fediverse does not have a (single) culture.

    The Fediverse is made of many many different cultures.

    There are Fediverse cultureS (plural).

  24. I'm having a few thoughts on social norms. I'm used to IRC and Usenet, where a channel or group is understood to be an open forum and, when people make a statement, it is seen as normal for anyone else, acquainted or not, to respond to it, even tangentially.

    But on more social-network-style graph-based communications where the flow is determined by a follow edge between nodes or something like it, a lot of people find it disturbing or invasive to have strangers pop into their mentions to rebut, add, or jump off from their point.

    I think this causes a lot of friction and expectation mismatches. I don't think either norm is wrong, though it is useful if people make it clear which one they're expecting.

    For the avoidance of doubt, I'm an IRC-type person. If I'm posting public or unlisted, I do not mind strangers to disagree with me, add their own twist, or give their own reaction. I will also respect the desire of graph people who don't want me to do that to them.

  25. Manchmal glaube ich, ich bin hier der einzige, der diese "Like-Sternchen" klickt. -Ich finde die gut, denn: bei diesen Likes geht ea nicht darum, den Content des be-liketen zu pushen oder auch nur das Ego. Es ist ein ehrliches Like (weil halt Fedi) und ich meine es dann auch so. Ganz simpel von meiner Warte aus.

    Wie haltest du das mit den Likes? Zu unpersönlich oder iss mir egal oder mache ich gern...oder...oder....oder?

  26. I'm unfollowing accounts who post (or re-post) violence into my timeline without content warnings. It's just too much for me. It's either that or leaving the #Fediverse altogether.

    And yes, I know that having that choice is a huge privilege! Everyone who lives in a peaceful country is hugely privileged compared to people suffering from war and terror attacks.

  27. im a white male so i dont think im allowed to make this joke, but from what ive observed from #fedi culture, there are some girls out there that would love to shitpost with this. please enjoy.

  28. @jenniferplusplus I have the impression that early adopters of the #Fediverse, of which many trans people belong to, fell into the false sense of comfort that there was a stable, uniform #fediculture. But #culture is inherent to #groupdynamics & a 100k group is not the same as a 2M network. While it's paradoxical to seek to enforce a culture across the Fediverse, a network designed to SUPPORT #divergence, I think it's fair to debate whether an #LGBTQ #instance should ban the #BBC or not.

  29. @tchambers

    As a cultural #anthropologist, I appreciate your approach to seeing the #Fediverse as having diverse cultures. I really appreciate the even-handed tone and thoughtfulness your bring to these discussions. I am someone who came to Mastodon to get FAR, FAR, FAR away from #BigTech. I do not regret the move. I’m a newbie who is not (yet) wedded to any particular #fediculture. I find everything happening here fascinating.

    I wouldn’t mind a trend to more female-identifying fedizens. 😜

  30. The culture of the #Fediverse has changed since November?

    Comments on if this is good or not please.

    A little boost wouldn't hurt...
    #fediculture #SocialMedia

  31. Some helpful CWs:

    * Climate change/doom.
    * Country + pol (USPOL, INPOL, etc.) — this includes activism. (personally, I think all politics is activism by default)
    * Mental health struggles (positive/negative)
    * Eye contact (selfie)
    * Physical health
    * COVID

  32. @Stefano Zacchiroli Thanks for sharing this, this is an excellent article on #FediCulture. I've posted it in a few places, every new user of the #Fediverse should read this and understand that this is not Twitter, and why.

    And thanks for boosting this, @івась тарасик, I would have missed it without you.
  33. Ik had 'm al geboost, maar ik wil toch nog even expliciet de aandacht vestigen op dit artikel over de #Fediverse en dan met name de #FediCulture.

    De Fediverse (of #Mastodon, zoals velen het onterecht noemen) is fundamenteel anders dan de vogelsite, niet alleen qua onderliggende techniek.

    TL;DR Dit is niet #Twitter, dat is bewust. En wel hierom.

  34. If you're new to the #Fediverse and/or #Mastodon and get this feeling that it's not exactly what you expected, please read this. This is an excellent piece about #FediCulture.

    TL;DR This isn't #Twitter, and that's by design> Here's why.

    It’s possible the influx of newcomers will drift away. They’ll discover that, on some level, they don’t really like the antiviral design and culture of Mastodon; they prefer the buzzy surges of Twitter, its Coney Island of the attention-span.

    Or maybe they’ll stay, and change Mastodon’s culture. They’ll gradually inject more viral behavior into the mix.


    Good read about #FediCulture and I'm going to post this article on several places :sunglasses:
  36. @Adam Hunt Yup, new users should be made aware that the Fediverse is not Twitter. I saw a lot of boosts and favourites when I posted my thread yesterday, let's hope a lot of new users pick it up:

    Now, a bit about the #FediCulture, the culture on the Fediverse.

    I can't stress this enough: THIS IS NOT TWITTER!

    There, I said it. We're not supposed to mention the name of the birdsite, but here we are.

    What's more important is that we keep things friendly and respectful on the Fediverse. Call us PC, or snowflakes, or whatever pejorative is popular on the aforementioned site, but that's how we roll.

  38. @Nazar Tokar It's part of #FediCulture to not mention the name, we see it as an unsafe place, a place of hate.

    Kind of like how in the Lord of the Rings the name of #Mordor is avoided if possible ;-)
  39. I’m seeing an awful lot of photos posted with no alt text, and hashtags not using #camelCase or #PascalCase

    Please use these for #Accessibility as it’s considerate to #DisabledPeople and also benefits others (e.g. if your image has text in a foreign language, translation tools can read it; Pascal Case hashtags are more readable for everyone). The #MetaText iOS app actually prompts you to add #AltText when posting an image.

  40. Mensen, je hier een linkje deelt, neem dan even de moeite om in een paar woorden te vertellen wat ik daar kan verwachten.

    Ik klik niet "zomaar" op een link, en als ik al iets op Twitter of YouTube wil zien, dan verbouw ik dat URL eerst naar nitter.net of yewtu.be en die moeite ga ik niet nemen als iemand zonder boe of bah een URL deelt.

    Geen omschrijving = geen klik

  41. Quick toot to say hi to all the older #Mastodon clan

    I hope us newcomers are not changing/ruining the nice world you had before?

    I'm trying to learn the existing culture and make sure I fit in, and don't behave like an arrogant expat! 🙄

    All tips welcome :)

    It's very nice to be here.
