Meta
A lot of discussions being had about the fedi right now can be boiled down to the fact that capitalism has eaten itself all the way into our brains and we value quantity much more than quality.
I'm not on here to be on the biggest instance. I'm not on here to get the most followers. I'm not on here to follow the most people. I'm not on here to post, fav and boost the most posts.
I'm on here to connect with people, share cool stuff, talk about mutual interests, act in solidarity, learn new stuff, have important conversations, and make sure that everyone has a good time.
Those goals can't be reached by getting more and more people onto the fedi and staying in contact with the largest instances no matter the cost. I would even argue that having quality interactions on here is actually hampered by that.
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
