Few nations will speak publicly about their concerns, for fear of alienating Musk.

I'm gonna put this out there: If you are new to #Mastodon and have found people to be hostile, or nitpicky, and just generally unhelpful please @ me and say hi. I am happy to walk you through this place, get you comfortable, be non-judgy about helping you, and help make this place your new home. I'm gonna call this #MastoHelper If others want to help newbies, lets do it together!

We need to do more to make people feel welcome first, that's how you create a culture people want to be part of.

Yes I’ve seen it.

If you want to join high school Mastodon and block because of gossip?

Then do it

I’ll thank you for making my timeline cleaner by blocking me

And I’ll enjoy interacting with the remaining adults who follow me

You want to have an environment like Twitter then go to twitter.

I’m a sustaining Patreon of mastodon and I’m staying here

A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in the north tower, and a cat flap was cut into the door below the astronomical clock to allow the cat to carry out its duties.
Records of payments were entered in the Cathedral archives from 1305 to 1467, the penny a week being enough to buy food to supplement a heavy diet of rodents."

Stop demanding people out themselves. Some queer people have relatives and it’s not safe for their sexual orientation or gender identity to get back to their family. Some queer people live in states where the government is actively trying to kill them. Some queer people simply don’t want to share that information with you.
