Chris TrottierCool fact about Mastodon:
Not only can you block trolls, you can block entire servers and instances where trolls hang out.
Anyone can do this—not just moderators!
Riley Harden@atomicpoet but how do you find & join different servers? Or find people in different servers? Sorry, #mastadon newbie here.
@rileyharden You don't have to join different servers, just one.
@atomicpoet okay, so the one I chose when I created my account (without knowing what I was doing) is the one I’m stuck with?
@rileyharden No, you can choose another one. But you only need one.
@atomicpoet how do I choose another one?? Like the one you’re on?
@rileyharden Go to the website and sign up.
@atomicpoet do I lose everything on my account from this server when I switch?
@rileyharden No, you can migrate your account.
I don't do customer support, so you'll have to look at help docs to figure out how to do this.
Z O R A N G R B I C@rileyharden @atomicpoet Hi Riley,
RTFM is the short answer. 😉
Please go check in your preferences and you'll find how to migrate your account to a new one.
There are also loads of support articles available on the internet explaining how to do it. Please take a minute of your valuable time to do a Google search.
Susan Delaney@rileyharden you can use this wizard and then click advanced for additional granularity:
