Tips of the day for the Bird Diaspora:

(1) Practice self-awareness. This network is a community, not a "product." We are members not customers or bosses.

(2) Log into your account on the desktop and play around there. It's a great way to listen to what others are writing about and to boost them.

(3) Ignore people like me if you'd like. I'm #NewHere too

@jentaub One tip I just saw was to enable the 'advanced web interface' on the desktop version. It allows you to have hastags/notifications/ and home feed all up at the same time.

@sunol @jentaub Yes, it’s like Tweetdeck.

I hate Tweetdeck, but maybe I would like the advanced xface. Probably not.

Go to counter.social if you want to see advanced xface taken to extreme by default.

(I doubt much of the Diaspora will go there, because they are after paid subscribers.)

@sunol @jentaub Also one might wish to download their Twitter data, so you can browse your old tweets on the desktop even after the dang thing quits.

Best not to delete one’s account BTW, so no one can take your name and act as if they were someone others had tagged, or some such nonsense. Just set it to private if one wishes.
