we sure have a lot of 'buy reviews' spam on mastodon.cloud. i hope my reporting them is actually doing something.

Eugen RochkoI like that I was able to go back to "Publish" in the official iOS and Android apps. It may be less whimsical, and less branded, but after using the platform for such a long time, I'm perfectly happy with a button that just describes what it will do without trying to be cute (not that I dislike cute, I'd never part with our elephant illustrations). I have seen enough "Dr. Doom toots as he pleases" quotes in the first two years of Mastodon to last me a lifetime.

Sanawhy are people titling all their posts about mastodon etiquette as boring things like “for mastodon newbies” when “mastodos and mastodonts” is right there
Dee StevensThe Tom Holland Singin’ in the Rain Lip Sync in the timeline rule still applies, right?

Peter BinkleyMastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:
1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot
Garry KnightHow do you make a thread on Mastodon?
Pretty much the same way as on Twitter, with one difference. You compose the first post, publish it, then reply to it, then reply to it again, and so on. But there's one difference. If the first post is Public, you can make all the others Unlisted. This way, people can follow the thread by clicking on the first post, but their timeline isn't clogged up with all of the other posts.
[A short thread]
I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
hmm, one thing i don't understand about Mastodon is: why am i not getting notifications for a post that tagged me until 6 hours after that post was made--is this a "your server is slow/has bad net relative to others" situation? or something else?
