At time of sign-up, I live in Buffalo, New York, which is a very interesting city. he/him
@jameslivesinbuffalo not sure I understand it, but going to hang around and hope for osmosis anyway

Are you using Mastodon through a computer?

Do you wish there was a multi-column TweetDeck-style interface?

There is! It's called the "advanced web interface" and you can activate it any time you want. It lets you add many specialised columns, subscribe to hashtags and all kinds of stuff suited to large wide displays.

Log into the website, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click "Save Changes".

(To restore the default single column interface, do the same thing but untick the box instead.)

This used to be the default interface on Mastodon, and very old articles about the platform will have screenshots of the multicolumn interface.

Ok, Mastodon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.
Thinking of treating this server like DuoLingo.
Ooooh, the typos in the alt text. Oh well.

Hello folks. My #introduction repost of failed bird site content.

One of my interests in the interesting City of #Buffalo is the concentration of wealth and power in very few hands (and whether there are remedies). This is a web map of properties owned by Carl Paladino through his various LLCs. As well a major property developer in the city, Paladino is a far-right political figure! This site helps explain both.

To expand on #introductions I'd like to see people repost something they posted about in the past that they feel had been ignored by the #birdsite's #algorithm. If you do, please boost or repeat these instructions.

I'll start with this #DJmix of #Brazilian #music I made a year ago: https://hearthis.at/axwax/axwax-brazil/

This #mix is dear to my heart as I was in a #community #Samba #band when I still lived in the UK and miss it muchly. Plus, I think it should be a suitable #soundtrack for your #Friday.

To add to the above:

Since there is no #algorithm it is really important that you #boost interesting posts by others.

A star (liking) does nothing to help increase a post's visibility beyond the original author's followers.

I know it is strange coming from 🐦, but it really is the only way to increase a post's audience.

So #BoostAllTheThings (if you like them) and you will notice others will do the same to your content. Here we're all in it together!
