Are any other #Mastodon admins getting new signups with suspiciously generic reasons for wanting to join?

I just want to inform you all that I've decided to grant you total freedom of post length, within your specified server limit. I release you from interrogation and scrutiny as to detail level and subject matter range. Your interests are valid, even though I might not agree with them or like them. Even the ones which reveal an uncomfortable and even - gasp - affronting level of technical depth. Geeks and nerds, after all, are a strong majority of the Mastodon users. The #Mastodon platform's builtin abilities to specify and enforce instance policy and regulation, follow, unfollow, filter, report, mute and block, etc. shall be my accepted resorts of recourse (as opposed to narcissistic negging, gaslighting, and triangulation, as my entitled, aggro policing mechanisms as to what you can and can't post, subject to my approval, which might come drifting past my timelines).
You may use this as a - get this - microblogging platform, I hereby officially permit it. It needn't be just the social status game that so many others can't see it as being anything other than.

One good thing about #BlueSky is that is has a nice #Blocking Culture.
The #Mastodon block function isn’t as good, but BlueSky users and newbies to the Fediverse should bring the Block Culture with them, let the self righteous HOAers here be lost in their own echo chambers, we don’t need them.
A complicated #mastodon solution for unwanted hashtag ads would be:
1) Require ad posts to include an ad hashtag.
2) Built-in regular expression logic for filters [Come on devs, have a heart for the mods fighting spam].
3) The addition of a filter flag to specifically exclude a post from the timeline (not just mute with a notice or mute without a notice).

De ce nu este #TaylorSwift în tendințe pe #Mastodon? Haideți, oameni. Cel puțin încercați să aveți o formă de discurs al culturii pop.
Hmm. Looks like I need to go to New York City on Nov 1st/2nd to fix my nephew's Linux computer. Damn you #Fedora 42 and your headphone jack issues! 😆
I don't suppose anyone would like to hang out, meet up or else? It would be nice to do something else while I'm there and my daughter just gave me the hell no. She's at that teen age of not wanting to do things with her dear ol' parent.

Thinking of closing up my little #mastodon instance at thehb.me. The way things work, I have no visibility (lack of search) into any other servers. … a little disappointed in #mastodon honestly.
