Jess👾Mastodon pro tip - there's no algorithm, and people all across time zones here. Don't be too shy about self boosting your banger toots 12 hours later or something so the other side of the world gets a chance too.
Since I'm on Mastodon pro tips:
Your timeline is your own.
Filter words you don't want to see.
Block/mute whomever you want for any reason or even no reason. I just blocked someone today because "the vibes were wrong". Idk looking at their posts and profile and the vibes were bad so block even though there was nothing specifically reportable.
You owe nobody anything.
ChloChloaca@JessTheUnstill To expand on that - also don't make it someone else's problem.
If you see something that triggers you or you don't like the words they used, just block those words. If the person isn't being malicious, it's not your job to police them.
Filter the words on your own and move on.
PatrickThat's just a bad excuse for promoting bad habits. It's like constantly screaming something annoying and then tell other people that it's their problem and they should just keep their hands over their ears.
@pa79 wow you even removed @JessTheUnstill from this comment to, what, protect yourself?
I'm not talking about bad faith actors being obnoxious. I'm talking about when a certain word or concept makes you uncomfortable and nobody else feels that way.
It's not my job to self-censor for every person on the planet when I'm basically here to scream into the void.
Now, just like you could have blocked me or just ignored me rather than wasting my time here, I'm going to block you and move on. Thanks!
@CordiallyChloe @pa79
There's countless things that one person can think is annoying and another person thinks is fun, interesting, or useful. Because different people like different things, and that's okay.

Vorsos@JessTheUnstill Vibe should be a required bio field
"Musty Bits" McGee@JessTheUnstill I have the same logic about tasty farts 🤗
@JessTheUnstill pls no blok 
@arichtman hah I don't block over things like that.
Kevin Karhan 
@JessTheUnstill always do!
F3715H@kkarhan @JessTheUnstill thx fir the reminder…
Readit Club@JessTheUnstill Thanks for your tip, it helps to understand how things are going here :)
Hello, my name is Disappoint@JessTheUnstill But... Since there's no algorithm making choices for you, everyone who follows you will see it the first time. I don't understand the need.
@ZenHeathen When you follow lots of people like I do, I rarely ever hit the bottom of the timeline
@JessTheUnstill I always do, and see self-re-boosted toots sometimes three or four times. There's no option or filter that can help with that.
But I hear you, that it works for your experience.
@ZenHeathen Yeah at that point your options are either hide Boosts from that person or mute them
@JessTheUnstill Neither of which I want to do. I'll just live with it, it's not that big.
DrYak@ZenHeathen @JessTheUnstill
> "re-boosted toots sometimes three or four times".
WebApp has a settings that can help:
Menu "Settings" -> submenu "Other" -> in the top "Settings" section of that page, there is a checkbox:
"Group boosts in timelines [Recommended].
Do not show new boosts for posts that have been recently boosted (only affects newly-received boosts)"
This makes the boosts only appear the first time in the timeline, not other remaining 2 or 3 times.
@dryak I'll check for that, thanks. @JessTheUnstill
little hot mess@ZenHeathen @JessTheUnstill yeah, I really wish I could turn off self-boosts specifically
thought desk@JessTheUnstill I’m new here, thank you for the tips.
With self-boosting, don’t people find this annoying?
@thoughtdesk As you can see in the replies, some people do, some people don't. I do it selectively on my really good things, not just in general.
ozeng@thoughtdesk @JessTheUnstill yes, very annoying. I don’t follow a million people so if your reboosts appear several times in my feed you can bet the mute/block feature’s coming into play.
This is getting on my nerves when people boost their own toots. I already saw this, why do I have to see it again and again? When people do this constantly, I'm unfollowing them.
