redbanjer 🪕🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇲🇽<p>I've never been on X or FB or Insta or Ticktock etc. <br>But i love Mastodon! I love that it's not algorhythm controlled, that it doesn't collect and sell my data, that it's not owned by some creep billionaire. I love how I can make my OWN decisions on what type of content I see and don't see, curating my own feed.<br>I had NO idea how to use <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> when I joined, but by reading/watching a few brief tutorials I found it not difficult. Don't expect to learn how to use it in one day. Don't expect everyone to explain every single thing to you- watch a couple of short tutorials for beginner users... it's not that hard, and if me an old boomer can do it, so can you!

Catnip Ninja<p>Started growing tired of all the clutter in other social medias so I'm branching out. For those who don't know me I'm Catnip Ninja, I like anime, games be it videogames or tabletop or ttrpg, martial arts, art, crafts, hobbies, the lists could go on. I'm a weird geek and proud to be that way. I stream on Twitch and I have a Youtube. Not sure what else I should put for my first post but I think that's a good start! <br><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/newtomastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newtomastodon</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/YouTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTuber</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/twitchstreamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>twitchstreamer</span></a></p>

Hi Mastodon,

I just joined yesterday because I was quite intrigued with this social media concept. I've read that it's more organic than other platforms.

Anyway, hi I'm Sylvie and I'm an artist originally from the Seychelles Islands who now lives in Guam, USA. I create #abstract #oceaninspired #ceramic sculptures, love soft and silky textures, love to laugh, and attempt to live a slow and simple life style.

15. Do a periodic raincheck of your most interesting followers.

Most importantly: GET AT IT! -- Sitting around will not get you anywhere.

16. And, very important, get an overview of the #Fediverse and the many options you have in experiencing it.
Be clear about your needs and preferences when choosing the best-fitting platform and server:

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.
