@cassolotl@cybre.space it used to work… but it hasn't worked for me in a long time. I figured since people kept posting it might still work occasionally? But I really don't know. Maybe it has become an urban legend.
Wow, it is really busy in my home timeline right now. That is both super good and a bit overwhelming! 😺

@selfagency i'd also like to add that if the admin of the instance you're on is cool with federating with nazi-infiltrated instances, demand better. they may not realize they're enabling bigotry by not blocking that instance entirely, or maybe they're a sympathizer and it's time for a new instance. lotsa good ones out there. punch more nazis and make more nazi-punchin' friends.

Since there are apparently a lot of new Mastodon users today, it's a good time to mention I've put together a list of resources for Mastodon newbies: https://github.com/nolanlawson/resources-for-mastodon-newbies/blob/master/README.md

dear people who are confused about mastodon:
mastodon is weird and very not twitter its fine lol
@thatonekidd5 this is the short definition: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/FAQ.md#what-is-an-instance
So, I'm on computerfairi.es and you're on mastodon.social and these are both instances. Many of them definitely work, even though the way "federation" (the network of all those instances) works can be a bit counter-intuitive at first and make you wonder what happens at times. But usually someone will have an explanation if you ask :)

Oh yeah feature new people may not know of: under preferences/data export you can export a .csv of everyone you follow and block - and then if you want to try a different instance you can import that csv at preferences/data import. I haven't used it in a long time and it was a little (very) buggy last time I used it, but it's helpful nonetheless. #introductions?
I never actually did #introductions (only a joke about a toot about food being my introduction)… so…
Hi! I'm Linus, I'm 25, and I'm slightly boring. I toot about being sad and I don't have any tag-able interests that I can think of, sorry. Cats are great, but I don't have any. I'm shy, even on the internet.
Uhm. #feminism & #anarchism are good and important, but I toot more floof than politics.
I'm #genderqueer/#nonbinary & #bi & #ace & #aro. And #neurodivergent and thus #neuroqueer, I guess.
@slooploon did you follow yourself after you tooted these toots? in this case they probably just didn't make it to this instance because nobody from here was following the account. otherwise… this sounds like evil magic is involved, probably :o

I appreciate birbsite's efforts to provide us with an influx of new users every time things seem like they might settle down
13. For myself (this is not about what other people should do! Always use the language that works best for you to describe yourself), I don't like using the word dysphoria for the corresponding feelings. It feels too medical, and too much like a fallacious legitimisation, because of the way it is used to delegitimize others.
@Sunflowermind@mastodon.social I think so!!! (did you see the post about bi tattoo ideas where someone said they have a bee for B)
12. I avoid asexual spaces at the moment… Online because they often center around debunking anti-ace bs and that is just so stressful, and offline because I had a weird discussion with someone once that got really personal for me and I think the group probably hates my for (almost? idk) crying there and I can't ever see them again m)
11. I currently don't drink coffee, but I still drink tea. But from my estimates that is still less caffeine than I got from coffee, and I think maybe I'm still not used to it after more than a month?! Or maybe I'm just more depressed or summer is making me tired. We'll never know.

@cassolotl I started doing this on the French #MastoWiki. But the only one finished for now is #WitchesTown.

Does anyone publish #reviews of #Mastodon #instances (not just a list with stats, but info like "this one is especially for musicians" or "this one has a lot of lefty activism talk" etc).

Relatedly, I think saying that "hashtag" is a pronunciation of the symbol # misses an important detail. When someone says "hashtag" aloud (like John Oliver's running joke), it doesn't just imply the use of the # sign, like saying "pound" or "octothorpe". Instead, like saying "quote" or "quote-unquote," it is a modifier for the spoken words that follow, grouping them and indicating how they would/should be written.
