Important Mastodon Newbie Info 🐘:

There are no ads here,
and this is not a corporation.
This is a Federation  ​

The person(s) taking care of everything needed for you to have an account here is likely doing it solely out of generosity for the community. This even costs THEM money. Not to mention the enormous cost in time!

Support your instance’s administration(s) every way you can. This is important 💚

HOW TO ❓

You can find who does this for you by looking up the About page for your server/instance.

You usually can find this page by adding “/about” after your instance’s name in a browser. Your instance name is what is after your handle name, after the second “@“ (for example, mine is: infosec.exchange/about).

👉 Help financially if you can: Many administrator(s) will have a page setup for donations. If not, you can ask them   

👉 Offer your time to help if you can: Ask if they need support with moderation and such 💪

👉 Do not use Report as a joke. Only Report when necessary 😌

👉 BE KIND! Cheers them up! Say thanks! They are doing this for you 💚
