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.
Besides, it means I get to see good toots twice.

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.

@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.

That'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.
