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.

Welcoming @zeitschlag to our iOS app team! Development of the official Mastodon app that has stalled for a bit will now continue and hopefully we'll have a new update for you soon.

FediTips has moved!Nov 5, 2022

Hey new people and those thinking of joining, you do NOT need to sign up on huge servers!

You can follow and interact with people on any server from any server, the servers are connected.

It would really, really help the network right now if you could sign up on medium or small size servers. You will still be able to follow and interact with whoever you want, and the network as a whole will work much better.

A good safe place for beginners to find servers to join is https://joinmastodon.org/servers

To Twitter migrants complaining about learning how to use the Fediverse—do you forget what it was like to first join Twitter?

Questions that arose back in 2008:

1. What can I possibly say in 140 characters?
2. What is a hashtag, and why does it even exist?
3. How does anyone find anything?
4. Who do I follow?
5. What's a feed?

Twitter came with a learning curve.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

In a world full of digital distractions and temptations, I think it's important to be able to "logout", and do something "analog" instead. That's why last year I've decided to try #scalemodeling

It requires a lot of focus and attention to details, but most importantly patience - which we very often lack in XXI century.

I just finished my 4th model yesterday - Honda S600. I'm really happy with the result. This might be the best one I've done so far 🥹

Next is Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI

I couldn't convince my wife to play #ItTakesTwo with me, but someone online suggested I give it a try with my 8 year old son - and oh my god I'm so glad I did.

The game is amazing. It's not ground breaking in any sense, but it so much fun. I can finally see why this game have won Game of the Year award in 2021 👏

Will people talk to you if you join the Fediverse? Does Twitter kill Mastodon when it comes to interactions?

Let's do a comparison. I crossposted the same message to Twitter and Mastodon.

Mastodon: 112 boosts, 257 likes
