Mastos - it's like twitter without nazis!
Gnu Socialites - oh no, we got nazis! They're an important part of our meritocracy!

@lanthus People are writing about this precisely *because* it is apparently not obvious to many folks, teaching them.

If everyone says what they'd like CW'd, this can help change the culture towards more CWs, making the whole place more inclusive even of people who cannot handle certain information at all times.

You sound kinda aggressively against this, what exactly irks you about it?

@stonehippo You cannot solve impersonation, but what you can solve is whether new instances not just get federated, but whether your toots even reach those new instances at all. (Especially old ones)

@stonehippo Thanks for writing that. On the level of "how can we fix things", perhaps you would like to weight in on the issue I opened about configuring where your toots can end up at? github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

It's a hell of a lot easier to have a technical discussion in 500 character chunks than 140. #500isthenew140

@envgen Maybe you wanna join into the discussion here? I made an issue about precisely this on Github yesterday: github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

@BenCalcaire@witches.town @envgen It's ultimately about user choice. Of course folks are going to cluster, otherwise we wouldn't even have a local timeline. Clustering is by design in Mastodon.

It really solves the long-standing harassment problem of Twitter if in order to read my posts, folks need to join one of the instances where harassment is swiftly dealt with.

@GinnyMcQueen@mastodon.social Gosh those people... *sigh*

@Firstaide I don't recommend doing this at all. That would just circumvent the block, and make this about you instead of them.

Sometime we hurt people without meaning to, that happens to anyone, autistic or otherwise. It happens.

And sometimes hurt people react to this in ways that are not really forgiving. But that is their right.

So understand the block as "I don't want to talk to you", not as "you are a total asshole". And live with it.

another srs post here, wont be long:

we are happy there are more folks here but FYI newbies, Mastodon's community was founded by gays, trans folx, POC, furries. Not only do we take no BS from Nazis, we won't have you ruining this place for us.

YOU ADJUST TO US. Mic drop 🎤

Queer, poly trash dating 101: "Omg I can't wait for my date with my ex's other ex!"

when you decide to move to another instance that's called a scoot

@Ahriman I didn't even finish the game a year ago, somehow got too frustrating at some point and I kinda just stopped I guess... but now after BotW I want to play the rest of the main game and the 2 DLCs :)

@ultimape Try inputting their toot URL into the Search field of your instance. You should be able to interact from there.

@lithm @moho1@social.troll.academy Witches.town ist auch auf der Whitelist. Aber insgesamt ist das wohl das Problem, ja. Irgendwie sehr meh.

@C_Holler It's not a mode, it's simply a different server. And my button here says "Awoo!" instead of "Toot"

One Card: Tarot Mention 

@thefishcrow Okay, I'll bite. :)

@noiob @vahnj I opened issues #983 and #979, that should definitely help.
