I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.
It's a bit like flushing the toilet.

New #Introduction post!
Hello I'm Noelle! I'm a blogger and reader who also plays musical instruments (guitar, keyboard) and takes photos. I believe that Meta and Google are not only killing the planet through their data centers but also democracy through the division their products have created. They are also taking over our lives by how much time we spend a day with their products (email, social media, YouTube).

Oh nice, Mastodon is getting an alt text reminder.

-Favourites
-Lists
-Followed hashtags
-Muted users

-Blocked domains (blocked servers)
The ⋯ button is next to the "Edit Profile" button on your profile page. Click on your profile picture to get to your profile page.
TheBlower.au is a general Mastodon server based in Australia. Do you need to sort it out? Get on The Blower, a public social network site that’s part of a global federation! You don’t have to be Australian to post here, but it helps.

If you're on the mastodon.social server you may have posts missing from your timeline. This is apparently due to technical problems on mastodon.social:
https://status.mastodon.social/cm6i55duu000ijwc2g6f4t3kx
If this is happening to you it's not your fault, it's your server that is currently a bit broken.
Other Mastodon servers are unaffected by this and should be working normally.

So about every other Home feed post is about #Bluesky which I have filtered out
"Show anyway"
OK, show me
Damn, man, if y'all are so hot for Bluesky why are you wasting your time here on #Mastodon?
Trying to pull people along with you to validate your own choice?
One thing about Bluesky that I've never understood is that it's only a web site
Given a web browser and a valid URL and you can go poke around to your heart's content and see if you can find what it is that's missing in your life
I spent about 30 minutes yesterday doing exactly this and came up empty
OK: you can't reply or 'like' or whatever they call it over there, but wander around and see if you can find what you're lacking in your life

@trunksapp My contribution to #GlobalSwitchDay? I've just finished the translation to Dutch of the magnificent #trunks for #Mastodon app 😇. So glad to reach the 100% mark this Sunday evening!
▶️ Become a #translator as well! Check out https://crowdin.com/project/trunkssocial. The #Crowdin interface is user-friendly and offers translation suggestions to speed up the process. I spread the translation over multiple weeks. You could also look for a partner in crime 😉.
Happy tooting!

One of the nicest things about individual Mastodon servers is they have custom emoji 
These emoji are visible to other servers so everyone can see them, but only people on a particular server can post them.
You can access custom emoji by clicking the 🙂 smiley button within the app or web interface. (On mobile apps, the non-custom emoji are accessed by clicking the other smiley button on your phone's keyboard.)
More info at:

in #Mastodon #Akkoma #Pleroma #GotoSocial you can hide your follower and following lists from public view

I opened a Bluesky account yesterday, and I don't think I've ever been repelled by a platform quite so quickly. The people I interacted with are fine, but the interface and experience are just so... *twitter.* After acclimating to Mastodon, there's just no going back for me. Thank you all for contributing to this amazing platform/community. 💜

There is an optional feature on Mastodon which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period
If you activate this, your posts that are older than a certain number of weeks, months or years are automatically deleted by your server.
The setup process for autodelete also lets you choose types of post or specific posts not to delete.
(If you want to keep everything, just don't activate autodelete 🙂 )
