I love how when you Boost something and the original gets edited, it notifies you. It gives you a chance to reevaluate your boost. I think it's a smart way to handle the edit issue.

yup, you can see history.
Pretty incredible to see the #Mastodon app at the very top of the list of free apps in the iOS App Store here in 🇨🇦. For reference, Twitter is currently #45.

If you’ve just signed up to #Mastodon in case of #TwitterRIP here’s some info I’ve pulled together for fellow newbies.
It’s got everything I would’ve liked to have known when first joining here, and it’s being regularly updated.

For Twitter folks who are brand new to Mastodon
Few pointers from a veteran of <checks notes> 2 weeks:
1️⃣ BOOST generously: If you see a Toot you like & want others to see it, boost (RT) it. Unlike Twitter, liking it does nothing for visibility
2️⃣ HASHTAGS are important, use liberally. They're the only way to make content discoverable by search
3️⃣ Use alt-text for images/gifs for accessibility
4️⃣ Err towards content warnings - not just for obv triggering content; helps keep feeds uncluttered
Musk BS poll asks, 'Reinstate Trump?"
Don't be fooled by the question.
Your vote doesn't matter..
Only Musk's opinion matters now.
Twitter policies developed over years to stop harm & ban those promoting violence don't matter now as long as he is the owner.
Is this power to decide worth $44B to him?
Apparently.
The former head of Trust & Safety quit Thursday.

UPDATE: no need for further boosting. Thank you everyone!
My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,
"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."
