new people. Welcome! You are hereby hello’d. Try an #Introduction or #Intro post! Reply, @ me, and / or compose your own post.
The top-right “New Post” button is near your profile picture. Yes! You can edit posts here.

Type whatever you like in the search bar e.g. your hobbies, interests, creative impulses, constructive ideas (recall the “compliment sandwich” structure), ideal outcomes per social interaction.

What do you seek? How do you want to help others? Where can you have the most impact?
When did you last take a break, drink water, stretch, close your eyes, and take a slow breath?

We’re happy to have you here!
While cooperation is ideal, conflict too can challenge entrenched ideas.

Avoid hate speech because you wouldn’t want it aimed at you or someone you care about.

Just remember to give people and yourself time to cool off, contemplate feedback, apologise where needed, and assume good intent from others.
Not everyone has your experiences or expectations, nor has everyone had a good day either.

#ThankYou for reading!

Be #kind and allow yourself opportunities to meet new people.

A lot of people are understandably taking breaks from Masto right now. But I just want to take this opportunity again to sing the praises of Mastodon's filtering capabilities. Tired of hearing about US politics? Enter key words into the filter and boom! All toots with those words no longer end up in your feed! Tired of hearing someone machine-gun posting about politics or whatever? You can Mute your Followers & folks you're following from hours to Indefinitely. As a former moderator of online groups, I have to confess that filters are highly underrated and under used. They can really transform your online experience into a much more positive one. But even so, social media breaks are necessary and we all need them now and then. It's all good. -Bubbles

@scream is a warm companion.
And other fedizens or mastonians: feel free to chime in, correct, suggest etc. Lurkers welcome too.

What do you wish you knew when you started here?
What do you wish other users knew or practiced now?

How do you use the content warning tool? I use it for jokes sometimes, to hide the punchline.

@MxVerda AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Add *yourself* in a list! I hope to track my new posts more easily than the “Posts” (but only some of them and idk which ones),
“Posts and replies” (but only some of different ones?!), and “Media” tabs on my profile!

The “Media” tab https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/media is #WhatIf instagram but not owned by Mark Zuckerberg as part of Facebook and Meta,
who wouldn’t let his kids use his products and owns a billionaire’s zucker bunker in Hawaii? (Number links btw: https://byjus.com/us/math/million-billion-trillion/ and https://www.cfinancialfreedom.com/what-is-a-millionaire-the-4-levels-of-millionaire-status-defined/ )
Hawai’i, a state he is decidedly not from? Havvaii: a sovereign nation before we (americans) invaded and stole it?

How much is 1 billion of anything, anyway? https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
(US scale: 1,000 million or 1,000,000,000 or 10^9, so 1 with 9 zeros before the decimal point.
UK scale: one million million or 1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12, so 1 with 12 zeros before the decimal point.)

But… *any* billionaire has that much. And keeps it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2021/12/27/here-are-the-biggest-billionaire-scandals-of-2020/
If you had the power to eliminate hunger somewhere, would you?

https://theconversation.com/why-the-super-rich-may-take-more-risks-than-the-rest-of-us-208394
but also https://www.forbes.com/sites/justcapital/2021/06/17/dont-blame-billionaires-for-being-rich-the-system-is-the-villain/ If people are incentivised to be unsustainably selfish, and they choose to act unsustainably selfish, then both are unsustainable for everyone and need to be changed.

But what does a sample of US citizens
(and residents? And visitors? Nah, only people born there with passports matter, probably) think?
https://www.vox.com/recode/2021/3/30/22357510/poll-billioniares-data-for-progress-vox-wealth-philanthropy-inequality

Anyway the list thing is cool. Still can’t find my Like a Dragon, Irate Yakuza in Hawaii post tho. Wait.
