For anyone new to Mastodon, you might find that your toots are less popular than you're used to but I find the amount and quality of my interaction with other users is much better. I feel like the real me in this place, chatting away to friends I feel comfortable with and having pleasant and often intellectually stimulating conversations with people I've just met. If it was IRL, it would be a lovely neighbourhood to move into.

let's say we have a #serverPact:
"we moderate on rules, strictly"
posters know they won't befall the spanish inquisition in a nice subset of the #fediverse
but
it moves the #drama from individuals to #moderators, it doesn't kill the drama
well, ok
as long as posters are happy
so, the new drama:
server pacts having heated, turbulent schisms
again: fine
as long as the capricious suspensions go away
just pick the right server pact

This is my 200th Post on the #Mastodon #Fediverse!
Yes I Joined Mastodon on Sep 16, 2022 and only have 200 posts, I go for quality posts over quantity.
I like how the Fediverse is so much more than just Mastodon.
The only thing that I feel is lacking is something like #PeerTube but without the lame instance's have to follow each other crap.π
I Wish someone would fork the PeerTube project and remove that part of it.

@mastodonmigration @reflex @janisf @bitsnpieces
the problem of some servers suspending for capricious bullshit, rather than hard rules, is that no one can do anything about that
a genuine problem of #fediverse/ #mastodon
it's an acid. it fractures community
i've been thinking about it
perhaps there should be some sort of server pact to abide by moderation on rules, strictly
so people know there is a space for genuine moderation rather than "well i don't like you, bye" "moderation"
I have a very simple goal: Gain more followers than @lisamelton and therefore claim title as Benevolent Ruler of the #Fediverse.


This is only true for some flavors of "big accounts."
A number of the people I follow with thousands of followers are ONLY on the #Fediverse and most of the rest are only here and on Bluesky. I routinely block people here and on Bluesky (and across the bridge) who pull in the sewage from X and dump it in either place.
I'm not really interested in following people that want to be "big accounts" in the way they were on old Twitter. I'm glad they are not here. https://mastodon.social/@fromjason/115329049288415217

i remember reading @mekkaokereke 's delineation of the #harassment of #black folk around a year ago
essentially using nonpublic #replyguy bullshit. other methods
you can say "well just block and move on"
but the reality is it is a degradation of your experience and enjoyment of #mastodon and drives you from the #fediverse
targeted harassment is not unique to mastodon
but it is a real, here. and we should care
it needs to be addressed with a beefier toolset
In diesem Talk auf dem #fediday 2025 bette ich Projekte von mir wie die #mastowall und weitere Ideen in einen eher strategischen Kontext fΓΌr das #fediverse ein. Ich probiere den schmalen Grad zwischen Nerd-Entertainment und heiligem Ernst zu treffen - und hoffe, es gelingt. Ein paar Folien als Teaser:
