@jollysea nah, this was their excuse to use *any* social media that isn't masto, which is why I felt a bit insulted by it 😕
@jollysea I suppose, but I've only had to remake an account twice?
oh well
@jollysea kinda curious where this huge misunderstanding came from
but at the same time not at all surprised that people are just wiling to believe this stuff without looking into it or trying it out for themselves
just read in a thread,
"...I don't wanna have to hoard my name across a bunch of different ones"
#PSA #feditip #feditips You can change the privacy of a boost
Here's one people miss a lot:
If you go to your Settings, under Preferences => Appearance, you'll find a "Confirmation Dialogs" subheading. If you turn on "Show confirmation dialog before boosting" you'll get a popup that includes the option to change the boost's privacy!
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle
Since we've now had a third wave of migrations from Birdsite come in I thought it'd be a good idea to show them once again how we do things here at the Mast. Hopefully this information will help guide the new faces around here into understanding this place a little bit better. Please do feel free to follow along at your own pace, no rush! ^w^ (#Boosts are also appreciated!) #Mastodon #Twitter #Help #Advice #Tips #Guide #Migration #Walkthrough
not sure how many people saw my separate clarification toot so I'll clarify & apologize here as well
earlier when I wrote "refugee" I meant the new masto users who call themselves that because they moved here from twitter/birdsite
there are refugees that use mastodon and I apologize that it sounded like I was talking about them
I should have taken the time to make sure it was clear from the start what I was talking about, my sincerest apologies
