We're seeing a large influx of new users, so here's some helpful Mastodon tips:

1. Liking a post does not affect its visibility. Instead, use the like button to let a user know that you find them to be irresistibly attractive and would like to become their internet soulmate.

2. Instead of saying orthodontist on here, we say mastodontist. This is important to know.

3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-cannibalism" or "anti-caniballism" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.

@lowqualityfacts Ugh, fine. Guess I have the time to do all that since my monthly mastodontist visits are no longer necessary since my braces got removed.
@kainisenni @lowqualityfacts I'll take over from here for you and use the #mastodontist hashtag since I got adult braces 5 months ago. In fact, I'm going to retroactively change my #braces posts to add #mastodontist for easier searching.

@lowqualityfacts

Aren't you worried that asking people to take a stand on pro- or anti- cannibalism might offend the vegans? Not all vegans like to think about getting protein from living creatures, and this puts them in an odd spot...

@JamesDRyan @lowqualityfacts we have decided to remove all mentions of cannibalism at this time because it has been deemed "too divisive." we thank you for your understanding.
@chelming @JamesDRyan @lowqualityfacts the divisive part is the “pro-“ and “anti-“ part, though. What if you just removed those and left “cannibalism”?
@boxofsnoo @chelming @JamesDRyan @lowqualityfacts there is absolutely NO cannibalism on mastodon, by which we mean that there is a certain amount
@lowqualityfacts you have the best facts
@jik
@lowqualityfacts
On Mastodon, saying someone has good facts is an insult.
@jargoggles @jik @lowqualityfacts instead you ask "where can I sign up for your substack?"
@lowqualityfacts
Some people are yummy, some are not.
So on cannibalism I am staying with:
It depends.
:)
@AstridSawatzky @lowqualityfacts right! I'm pro-eat the rich, so how can I be anti-canibalism?
@NerdRage42 @lowqualityfacts
I suspect most of those must be thoroughly deep fried and need a lot of spices to make them edible.
But I'll support you where I can.
@AstridSawatzky @lowqualityfacts jerky seems to be the best route. But gotta watch how many of those you eat because of all the nitrates and sodium that comes with billionaire chud jerky.

@NerdRage42 @lowqualityfacts
jerked jerks jerky.

That makes a nice brand, does it not?

Well dried could finally make them sustainable.

@AstridSawatzky @lowqualityfacts I've found vegans are generally good, as they're grass-fed.
@AstridSawatzky @lowqualityfacts Everyone, I mean everyTHING can be fixed with enough seasoning. :)

@ticho @lowqualityfacts
I could season winter with a lot of spring to fix it to summer.

You are so smart.

And already, it is warm here.
tada!
:)

@lowqualityfacts thank god you've cleared that up 🙏💪
@lowqualityfacts don't forget: never confuse cannibals and cannonballs
@melicious @lowqualityfacts They're deceptively alike. With both you can loose a hand if you’re not careful
@lowqualityfacts re: #3: I've been watching Yellowjackets so now it's complicated 🥴
@lowqualityfacts Every time I think of the word "mastodon" my molars ache a little.
@lowqualityfacts
I like this quality of facts. Please continue.
@lowqualityfacts I always like to hear the other side's story. where can I find good pro-cannibalism sources?

@lowqualityfacts

I'm generally anti-cannibalism, except for eating the rich. ("It's what's for dinner.") Always eat the rich. Slow cooked on a spit over the burning embers of capitalism.

@Mikal @lowqualityfacts please note that you still have to get a vet to check the corpses and certify they're safe to eat - just like with livestock...

#Spoiler: most billionaires will be rejected due to having excessive envoirmental poisons accumulated amidst their absurdly wasteful lifestyle...

@lowqualityfacts
What about if, like me, you are on the fence about cannibalism?
@lowqualityfacts Tricky, tricky about The Cannibalism Question.
If I'm playing #Skyrim then yes: the Ring of Namira is *essential* for a Vampire Lord!
If I'm playing #fallenlondon then I avoid strange voices from wells and would rather avoid swallowing my own teeth.
Otherwise I would avoid the brain- too much cholesterol and can carry prions such as CJD. Otherwise pair as you would with pork (a good hearty claret or ale or perhaps a Cider, depending upon seasoning).
@lowqualityfacts what about cannibalism curious?

@lowqualityfacts

Whether I'm pro- or anti- cannibalism really depends on the cannibal. I don't want to judge a whole group of people based on one trait.

@lowqualityfacts will i be notified about the outcome of my internet soulmate application?
@lowqualityfacts Isn’t it funny how cannibalism & capitalism sound the same 🫢

@lowqualityfacts

When you find a really good toot, or someone post a photo (with alt-text, of course!) of a #DIY thing you see is well made, an applause 👏 👏 👏 (or any other form of personal appreciation) is more rewarding than a trivial star.

@lowqualityfacts Them: Pick a side! Are you pro-cannabilism or anti-cannibilism?

Me: oh stick a fork in it

Them: ....

Me: I said what I said

@lowqualityfacts I am pro cannibalism but anti cannibal, so it gets confusing. And don't even get me started on mastodontists!

@lowqualityfacts

I'm pretty sure it's "mastodonut"🍩

@lowqualityfacts I'm glad other people are using the like button in the same way I am! 🥺
@lowqualityfacts What if you’re a pro-cannibalism vegetarian?
@lowqualityfacts this is really probably the funniest account 😅
@lowqualityfacts When specifying facts about yourself, beware of ambiguity. For example, do not use a phrase such as "cannibal hunter" as it is difficult to discern if you hunt cannibals or are a cannibal who hunts.
@lowqualityfacts @chris Pro-cannonballs must watch out for pirates
Liking this post because I would like to become your internet soulmate. I don't have a clear position on caniballism, though.
@lowqualityfacts I’m actually anti-anti-cannibal. Obviously I’m not personally a cannibal, but anti cannibals are just so annoying and rude.
@lowqualityfacts I may need to call my mastodontist because I need to get a replacement retainer soon
