This is a big problem for Mastodon.

Canadian journalist Erica Ifill just had her mastodon.online account suspended without explanation. She's been sharing stuff critical of Mastodon re: intersectional issues.

I get the decentralized structure and idea that each server has its own rules. But this Reddit-style moderation, where moderators with god-complexes make mysterious and arbitrary decisions, is going to cause people migrating to Mastodon to flee in droves.

After knocking about here for a few months, here are some tips for other ex-bird site people:

Use hashtags, it's the main way to find people & for them to find you.

No algorithm, so it's not a competition. Favourite posts you like, but boost/reblog to help them reach a larger audience.

It's etiquette to use content warnings/wrappings. Content need not be triggering/sensitive, but something others don't want cluttering up their timeline
