It's been lovely to start connecting with people on here. I'd forgotten what it's like to use a social media platform without being threatened and abused. Now I'm off to make a cake for a very special person.

Welcome to the fediverse @SiouxsieW !

Glad to see you're having positive experiences so far, but it's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the moderation tools before you need them.

Here's an intro to the basic mod toolkit you have as a user:

... and info about the ways admins can protect the people using their instance:

@[email protected] #ProTip: take time now to acquaint yourself with the moderation tools: * Report posts you find inappropriate (reports go to mods on your instance and theirs), * Mute Conversation you're not enjoying, * Mute users you're finding annoying, * Block users who are stalking you so they can't follow you. Most people you'll come across here are awesome, but that's because we have those tools (plus instance-level mutes/blocks) and we're not afraid to use them when needed. #FediTips
