Mastodawn

You can restrict who can see your posts with post visibilities. There are four kinds:

-"Public" is visible to everyone.

-"Unlisted" is visible to everyone but doesn't show up in searches or trends.

-"Followers-Only" is only visible to people who follow you. If you use this, switch on follow requests too so you can screen who gets to see your Followers-Only posts.

-"Mentions" is only visible to accounts mentioned in the post.

@FediTips Can I restrict seeing my own posts? Everyone else seeing it is fine, I just don't want to subject myself to that mess...

That's probably in Filters 🐱🐈🥗🥙

@infosec_jcp @FediTips I do filter out all my other catsalad accounts by putting them in a group, then hiding from home ✅

Unfortunately there's no mute button for your own account 😁 I guess you could post from one account but read timelines from another?

EDIT: Wait, I think there might be a way to do this!

If you create a list, then add your own account to it, then mute that list from your Home timeline, that may work.

Info on using Lists here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

EDIT 2: Oh I think you said you already do that for your other accounts? Just tested and you can add your own account to lists.

@FediTips Hey! I think you're right...

Self mute test 🤫
Delete & repost test after manual mute..

@FediTips Okay, it works! Manual self mute works too (just never tried it). Thanks for the suggestion!

Post from infosec.exchange and read from infosec.space? Or vice versa 😉
