I don't really want to 'Reject' someone who sent me a Follow request. It just seems so . . . rude.
But I checked out their posts and I don't care for what they're posting. I don't want to Follow them. Will that 'Follow Request' stick with my account the rest of my life til I either accept or 'Reject'?

You can delete the audio file you uploaded to this site. I can listen to it but I can't (haven't found a way to) DL to save it. There is a little 'down' arrow on the lower right of the box with your image but all it seems to let me do is listen to the audio. I can't save it to my laptop hard drive.
There. I think that's a better description of my difficulty.

The whole 'Acorn' TV came out of the blue today. I'm kinda whammied

Partner is already apparently days ahead of me reading up on things. Apparently resistant to some streaming service called Roku because of the bad rep it has for data mining.
Partner apparently keen on some Nvidia??? (spelling) device that apparently will be better at data protection and somehow allow access to Acorn & Britbox.
I'm totally flabbergasted & out of my league. This Nvidia Shield is a hardware device??

@yknot0 could try opening https://mastodon.social in a private browsing window to see if it's a cache issue

Hooo Boy
Reading about changing to a different 'local'??? or server seems confusing.

Will I need to start a new 'acct' with another password or does it just change my 'address'?

Well, I'm going to need to find a way to follow interesting stuff on CBC (music/arts/comedy/across Cda interesting stuff) some way or another. At least til I figure out how Mastodon locals work. I DON'T want all political argument and politicizing stuff. This might be a good option: a CBC Mastodon server ???

Now’s a great time for our public broadcaster to stop relying on privately owned platforms to reach its audience.

Mastodon is so DARK on my screen. Especially the grey text font. Is there a way to lighten it up?

I sometimes feel gaslit that I'm one of few who LIKE some regulations/guidelines in my life. "Do whatever the hell you want" seems pretty indecisive & vague. Do we have to suss out every single biz/person we meet about every topic before we know whether their practices align with ours? #WorkSafety #ProfessionalExcellence

@bjc I'm on Mastodon to chat and find out interesting stuff I might not come across on the internet on my own. My intent isn't to focus on political stuff. What about you?
