An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

It’s funny, many of the “what you need to know about Mastodon” or “how to learn about the fediverse” pieces are focused on the technology and the implementation, when the hardest thing for people to understand about this context, if they’re used to traditional social media & tech, is that here we have an expectation of _consent_. Consent if you want to be included in a conversation, consent about being amplified, consent in the form of CWs on topics that you want to manage, etc. That’s it! 🎯

#feditip for newbies, especially the ones who post a lot of politics stuff: use the CW or "Content Warning" feature if you want people to boost your posts.

For example, if you're posting about American politics, you might CW with the subject line "American politics" or "USPol" for short.

Using CWs has been part of the established culture here for years, and people generally don't boost unCW'd politics posts. If you think something's important and want to give it visibility, use a CW.

Fediverse is basically like the GenX of social media. Don’t care what you think or if you can figure it out. I kinda love it here.

I need to remember to use hashtags here more often. It does not even make sense to add them to your profile until you have been using them in posts.

So, #NewsProduct #HCI #Journalism maybe to start.

Sorry. Meant to introduce myself. I am a traveling baby raccoon and snake salesman who also makes hangers for the tiny tailored suits I create for opossums. I also dress up like a ghost for fun to terrorize the neighbors and often make a pool of margaritas for nefarious songbirds.
