#mastodonmeta — Public Fediverse posts

Hasnain Kazim wurde der Account bei mastodon.world gesperrt, weil er sich über die Moderationspratiken beschwert hat. Man muss nicht immer seiner Meinung sein, aber das ist schon übergriffig. Die Regeln des Servers lassen auch sehr viel Spielraum zu.

Das muss dieses Aushalten anderer Meinungen sein…

My guide to Mastodon! Simple stuff, but not necessarily obvious (to me at least).

- Follow with reckless abandon! Follow lots of hashtags. Fill your feed!
- Make a list with folks you especially enjoy

Then prune:

- Mute with reckless abandon!
- Block assholes
- Filter phrases and hashtags

*Advanced*

- Hide someone's boosts without muting if you don't want to miss their posts.
- Make a list with news, etc. and then hide list members from your home feed to reduce noise/stress.

Leave a 👍 if you have a github account and think that mastodon links should show the user's profile image in external link previews:

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/32016

IMO it would be nice if we could have our profile pictures in link previews instead of the Mastodon logo.

I really need to get off my lazy ass and write an acceptable upload policy with more robust content warning guidelines, but I'm not exactly sure how or where to post an AUP page on Mastodon. :blobfoxmeltsob:​ I don't want it to dominate the (already admittedly too long) About page.

Hello all!

We're currently trying to move this account to @technically_good (so do not be alarmed if you received a follow from there.)

The only thing is: Setting up the alias at the new account isn't going through at all, presumably due to the high latencies. Importing our follow list & auto-following anyone at #mstdnca fails as well, presumably for the same reason. 😔

Still trying to decide which instance we're going to go with. Setup has been quite the journey so far - hopefully the dust settles soon! 💜

oh ok so *here's* a neat feature of #Mastodon lists that I had hitherto been unaware of:

You can set them to include replies from list members to:
- No one
- Members of the List
- Any followed user

This is REALLY COOL. The 🤯 option for me personally is to be able to include only replies that members of the list sent to other members of the list. Great for "Local" lists, or lists for a busy topic bubble!

You can also change this setting later!

When you are recommending Mastodon or the Fediverse to friends who are not here yet, what do you point out to get them interested?

I'm not looking for a technical description, I'm asking because I'm interested in how you present the attractions and benefit.

And I'm not asking for advice! I'm posing the question because I suspect your answers will be wonderful. xo

Today I learned...

If you quote a toot within a private mention post, the person quoted can see the post, the same as if you mentioned their @.

And when I write it out that way, it is consistent with how Masto quote-boosts work (the quoted account is notified, like mentions) and with how Masto private posts work (anyone mentioned sees it). But… FYI. 🙊

(Not sure how this works on other Fedi servers.)

So much for using quote toots to send funny viral posts to friends privately.

Setting notifications to mute with a timer is one of my favourite gifts to myself.

Sometimes I don't want to unfollow or block someone, but I don't want my TL full of whatever they're posting about at the moment. Temporary Notification Muting is an elegant solution.

For me, this is self care and it's one of my fave features on Mastodon.

We love it so much that every time we check the FediGroups Directory, cool new groups have sprung up!

(We keep hoping that someone will create an education-themed group. Fingers crossed!)

If you haven't checked it out in a while, go take a look.

I went to block an account tonight and accidentally blocked the instance instead...

...but it was mastodon.social. hahahaha

I have thus messed up a bunch of follows and followers.

Is there an easy/elegant way to fix this?

*I'm not worried, I think it's funny on my end, I just don't want to slight or confuse people, and so from that perspective would like to get it fixed asap.

ISO a #MastodonMeta #ActivityPub #Fediverse meta 🧵 I read a couple years ago : iirc #Mastodon 's historical awful treatment of #PoC, especially #BlackFedi , is complicated af bc the exact thing that's causing strife is one of the most valued ways Mastodon/Fediverse works to begin with. The author had clearly had a lot of experience on #Masto & was like "this is a cycle I've seen over n over again," playing server ban whac-a-mole. It was super insightful. Hoping someone can clock it?
