PSA for newbies & # Twitter migrants

World Cup spoilers are a very good use case for CWs

At the very least please use hashtags so folks can filter if they choose to

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.

I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

Okay, #writer peeps! I am definitely not yet up on this place's nuances yet.

I want to follow some other writers who talk about craft, how the work kicks all our asses, passion, things they find beautiful and joyous, and snoot boops.

Who do you follow that you love for these or similar reasons?

extreme detail, hyperrealistic, gothic, steampunk, cluttered, laboratory, time travel, photo

#BookishAdvent day 2, #smallpress edition! “Where we go when all we were is gone” by Sequoia Nagamatau , from #BlackLawrencePress . This is a spectacular hybrid collection that embraces diversity of form to explore national and familial grief, monstrosity/fabulism, and the shifting boundaries between “poetry” and “prose”.

I live in a small conservative town in the desert. Looking for advice on how to start a mutual aid network.

I almost admire what Elon's doing with Twitter because I'd love to buy Tesla and reveal all the emails that could show he knew about all the way Telsas might kill drivers and pedestrians. Except that would matter.

Got a temp to finish out the work week for me

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘✨:

If you find your Home timeline is a little too quiet and wonder how to discover cool people to follow, there are many ways to do this:

HOW TO ❓

1. Add people you already know the handle of using the “Search” function. Make sure you write their full handle with the 2 at signs. The first (a) with their handle AND the second (a) with their instance name, all without space 🔍​

2. Browse your “Local” timeline to see toots (posts) from people on the same instance (server) as you. Follow the ones you like! 🏠​

3. Browse your “Federated” timeline to see toots from people on the same instance as you and the people they follow. Follow the ones you like! 🏘️​

4. Type a topic you like in the “Search” function, for example type “StarTrek”, click on the “Hashtags” tab on desktop, then click on a listed hashtag. Follow people tooting about your interests! If you click on the upper right “+” button, you can also “Follow hashtag”! 🖖

5. Add “/explore” after the name of an instance you like to see an overview of what’s happening there. For example, infosec.exchange/explore 🌏​

6. Look whose toots your friends are boosting and click on these profiles ​

7. Follow many people you like and watch your “Home” timeline becoming alive! Follow people active at different times of the day for a continuous flow of cool toots! Use “Lists” and “Slow mode” if your “Home” timeline gets too overwhelming with joy ​

8. Magic!✨

This could so easily have been averted. Everyone knows a viral film trailer is the FIRST PLACE a bear's going to look for cocaine. https://www.cnn.com/videos/media/2022/12/02/cocaine-bear-trailer-moos-cprog-orig-bdk.cnn

Feels like I’m boosting on here way more than I used to retweet, and not writing many original toots. But the quality of the feeds and the trends here is so much better than it was in the Bad Place, I’m constantly seeing stuff from my follows that is actually interesting and funny.

Am I boosting too much?

After a long slew of odd coincidences, and finally being stared down by a pair of ravens while holiday music blared down the street, I give up; I understand when someone's sending a message.

So I am proud to announce a special project for the holidays, Óðinna Álfar (Odin's Elves)! We are a small set of antifascist mystics, pagans, punk philosophers, and witches inspired by Food Not Bombs to create a decentralized gifting network for the Yule season.

How to participate? Simply do an act of good will for those in need between now and 21 December, tell us about it in a post with the hashtag #odinnaalfar, and incorporate the attached symbol in the post in some way. These acts can range from setting up a food drive, handing out warm clothes to houseless folks, or going full Santa Claus and dropping off gifts to kids who could use 'em.

To join a private telegram chat for organizing, just send me a message and I'll hand off the link.

Happy Yule, and happy gifting!

Did you know that God is a girl and Anarchy is her daughter?

Consider this my #Introduction, or don't! But if you do, Im a 26-year-old flamingly #queer theistic #Discordian, prophet of Dysnomia, militant anarcho-absurdist, #chaote / chaos magician, husband to a gremlin, father of a tinier one, lover of hot dogs, and occasional content producer for the Telegram channel Discordian Society.

So hail #Eris!
Hail #Anarchy!
And kill Bob!

@ChristineDantz - Please don't give up on Mastodon!
1) Write an #introduction post about yourself: Lover of life, learning, & animals + freelance #cannabis writer for hire. #Mother #Wife #Writer #Prochoice #Resist #BuffaloBills #ClemsonTigers
2) Search #hashtags to find compatible Mastodonians.
3) Follow some of the people who follow an account you like, such as @SpockResists
4) Try a tool to reconnect with your Twitter followers who have moved here, such as https://debirdify.pruvisto.org

I have to say this Barbara Kruger piece is how I feel about a lot of folks who think of themselves as progressive. They are happiest when they can play savior but when we take our happiness into our own hands and know our self worth, we are seen as uppity. #blackmastadon #blackfriday #blackjoy
