Since this server is regrettably closing down soon, I am moving to another instance. I'll be @shuffler

I may not be quite as food-centric there. I'm not sure what I'll be!

I was considering another food-related instance to move to, but then I got to the part saying they moderate with a light touch.

I don't want a light touch.

I want moderation that would make George Orwell raise his eyebrows and say "See, this was what I was talking about."

Keep your velvet gloves. I want an iron fist in an even more iron-y glove, moderators. 🧤

If you're active here, you're going to make mistakes, i.e., you're going to post things that you later realize are wrong. When that happens, don't just leave the wrong information there. Go back to the post and edit it to add a correction.
This prevents people from stumbling across your post later, getting bad info from it, and maybe even boosting the bad info to others.
This is also one of the best ways to show others that you're worth having conversations with.

Do you follow someone who posts really good stuff, but wow do they boost too many other posts?

1. If they tend to do it in clusters, you can mute them and set a time limit on it. You’ll start seeing their posts again after the mute expires.

2. Otherwise, you can set “disable reposts” and you’ll only see their actual posts and reply’s, not their boosts.

If you do the latter, you can always add a personal note on the profile too, to remind yourself of why you did it. Great feature, and notes are only seen by you. (I’m not sure they transfer if you move to an new instance though.)

Both options should be in the settings you can see on the user’s profile. Where they are, and the exact wording, will depend on what client you’re using. The screen shot below is for the #MammothApp iOS client, currently in beta.

(Sorry @nire, I’m not subtooting you, you just happened to be the nearest profile when I went to show an example!)

Brunch with my first frittata. Like a Spanish tortilla. Easy to prepare in advance of guests coming. Bread and croissants, smoothie and sallad. A lots of strong coffee.

She really doesn't get enough fanart imo
