I understand that not everyone is here for pet pictures. I find that they help get me through the days. If you do not want to see pictures of people’s pets, fear not! Mastodon (and other Fediverse applications) give the ability to mute hashtags. I recommend muting the following hashtags if you do not want your timelines cluttered with pet pictures:
#caturday
#Mondog
#mastodogs
#critterstuesday (coming soon!)
@jerry Pets are a key part of internet culture as far as I'm concerned!
@jerry I'm mostly here for the InfoSec information and news. Also the interesting sheets people post with information and bug bounty info. Buuuuut pet pics are a plus β™₯️

@jerry you have singlehandedly turned my feed into a dog show today and I am here. for. it.

Thanks for all that you do.

@jerry What if I want some dogs but not all the dogs?

@jerry all the non-tagged boosts are here to stay.

should we setup a ML-pipeline that trains on labeled content from hashtags, and assigns missing hashtags to non-tagged content (that should have!)?

mmhh am I actually only half joking?! I think it may kinda work β€‹

edit: wasn't writing in English.

@jerry As a reminder for new arrivals, you can also 'Follow' these hashtags to maximize the furred friend goodness in your timeline. β€‹

#caturday #MonDog #MastoDogs #CrittersTuesday

@jerry CRITTERS TUESDAY I AM EXCITED. are slitheries also critters or do they get their own? I have no slitheries, just asking in terms of if I want to mute all critters or not πŸ˜‚
@jerry don't mute the sentient beings people!

@jerry Everybody knows the Fediverse was invented to have a distributed, censorship-resistant way to share pet pictures with the world.
