A quick note of something that may be important for people to know: I already noted that DMs here are a bit sketchy security wise, but (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT): if you mention someone else's account in a DM, Mastodon, yoinks them into the conversation.
So, you know, if you think you're talking about someone behind their back, you might be doing it to their face.
to clarify I mean softcover or hardcover comics, I've stopped collecting individual issues
so this tool is super useful for finding people to follow or figuring out what instance to join, but I also just noticed that it allows you to search for which instances the people you've BLOCKED on twitter are on, and I can see how that could be super helpful for some folks #twittermigration https://pruvisto.org/debirdify
How do you make a thread on Mastodon?
Pretty much the same way as on Twitter, with one difference. You compose the first post, publish it, then reply to it, then reply to the reply, and so on. But there's one difference. If the first post is Public, you can make all the others Unlisted. This way, people can follow the thread by clicking on the first post, but their timeline isn't clogged up with all of the other posts.
[A short thread]
Your Mastodon feed won't improve through passive engagement. There is no algorithm to suggest and share what you liked.
You must actively follow different people to see what they boost, and you must boost for other people to see. Some people are from different servers. You will see more of what they see organically. You can also hashtag to increase visibility.
There is no quote retweet either. You have to actively engage and comment in the thread.

I'm not going to claim I'm an expert on graphic design in print based media, but I get a feeling that there should be more care and time taken when an online cartoonist takes their media to print!
Not to but the blame entirely on cartoonists, printers (or publishers idk) should be showing more print proofs
specifically for color, contrast, and fonts
tl;dr RGB is different than CMYK, fonts that seem like a readable size on digital devices are not necessarily readable in a print format
like without making a long personal post, probably full of spoilers, I've found myself relating to different characters game over time and,...it's rough
Can we please keep a culture of not welcoming brands, corps, ads, influencers, the rich to the fediverse. The more popular it becomes, the more likely the above will ruin it for us.
And: Support your admins and moderators financially. If you can, open your own servers to keep decentralising (but do plan rules and moderation to not become a disservice to minorities). Join smaller instances. Yell at queerphobes, racists, nazis, then report and block them. Defederate from where they thrive. 💚
