#newtomastodon — Public Fediverse posts

Hello all. I’m Grey (she/her, 40+). Wife, mother, writer, gamer and introvert. Currently obsessed with all things Hellaverse: especially Alastor, RadioStatic, AppleMedia and RadioApple. I’m also into World of Warcraft, Sims 4 and Disney Dreamlight Valley. I’ve been a writer for 28 years and a roleplayer for 19 of those years. New to Mastodon but I’m a tumblr veteran. Looking forward to being here! #firstpost #introduction #newtomastodon

New here. Is it common for the app to be glitchy, or do I have a skill issue?😂

Welcome. It's not that I am #NewToMastodon, but I am rather #neuhier with regards to the server I am on, so please allow to introduce myself, politely:

This is a rather private profile, with occasional toots around German #politics, #football and my personal life decisions (they’ll bring me to hell, I bet, if you believe in such stuff).

I'm #antifascist, and a #nocar person, and from that I think it is easy to conclude on the rest of my political views. If in doubt, please ask. Be prepared that most of my views are leaning towards what has been called #leftHegelianism.

Having worked in #ops and considering myself as #philosophy nerd for years, I am currently working as project lead for #BuildingAutomation and #EnergyManagementSystems. I am sure that humankind needs to change in that regards, and these four have to play a major role in that change.

Living in #Leipzig, #Germany I am happy to answer all questions around topics taking place in mid Europe, as I consider myself as European rather than German.

langs: #english, #french, #german

All new followers! If I have not followed you back yet, it might be because your profile lacks a description. I will keep an eye on it and ones you are set up follow you. Thanks for understanding.

Important update to my "How-To" on domain-blocking by individual Mastodon users, a useful tweak to keep the vibes right (because your admin won't necessarily block out as much as you well might prefer).

TL;DR: When preparing a blocked_domains.csv file for upload to your Mastodon account, make sure to insert the the " @ " sign, in front of the server domains you wish to block.

I also modified the article's lede, to wit:

Problem: Organized troll brigades are harassing outspoken people on Mastodon. If you ever express support for marginalized communities, you are likely to attract annoying DMs and replies — at best, a nuisance you don’t need.

Don’t be fooled by the false sense of security there: there is a lot more harassment than meets the eye. Many newer and established instances in Mastodon social network do not have extensive block lists. Also, there are new instances cropping up all the time. Admins are very, very busy as it is - they cannot be expected to necessarily stay on top of the moderation requirements of every user.

Solution: Mastodon software permits individual users to block domains.

Without any prompting by me, the topic of Tw*exit came up at Thanksgiving dinner. One person said she loved it and was sad to see things possibly fall apart and she was gonna try Post, and I suggested #Mastodon.

I mentioned a few things, but the following things seemed to resonate:

the lack of ads, lack of an algorithm controlling what you see, and *local control of what you see* (server/local blocks, filters)

These are non-technical people. This stuff matters.
