With regard to sensitive content, would it not be better to set mastodon so it hides pictures, and requires a user to click to view
Sure content warnings can also be used, but if you know that picture A contains nudity, you choose to click and open it.
But LaTeX just works. I get irritated when word processors think they are being helpful trying to capitalise http to Http
@elvio Old artwork on a new platform is new artwork to the people who see it first time.
Great stuff.
@smthomasy Are you using Overleaf / LaTeX for writing ? It would be great to have a community on here to help people learn and develop via peer support.
I am white but see Mastodon as a friendly, culturally, diverse place. All are welcome and treated equally.
There are people posting interesting content, if I am interested I follow and interact..
I hope to see diverse content, photos / videos of different places so we can see connect with more of the world rather than what mainstream social media feeds us based on what their AI THINKS we want.

To answer your second question :
Under your profile there is import and export, from there you can download your data and import
into another instance.
I have not done this, but if I am sure others will help with this.
PS sorry if I have not put the descriptor text in the image, I am not quite sure what to type there.
My focus and interest as hashtags, since those are searchable.

Welcome.
50,000 University of California system academic workers are preparing to strike on Monday, November 14th! They deserve fair work and compensation.
@smthomasy Defiantly the way forward.
@stux I second hat, we just get on really well and can have constructive debates and agree to disagree as we won't always agree on something.
Next year's LibrePlanet, which will be held March 18-19, 2023, is themed "Charting the Course" and the deadline for Call for Sessions has been extended to November 23. Got an idea you want to run by the FSF campaigns team? Read about our CFS office hours: https://u.fsf.org/3uz #FreeSoftware #LibrePlanet
@PawelK LOL A taste of what they give to others.
Question about Mastodon
If you click on the 3 dots ... below the post, you get a menu up where you can block the domain.
Hope this helps
I remain genuinely and pleasantly shocked that in the course of 10 days or so, we all just went, “no way, eff this, we’re going to @Mastodon”, and now we’re just here and people are so nice and writing alt-text in their images and sharing great stuff and using content warnings and everything. Obviously none of this would have been possible without years of work by #Fediverse / #ActivityHub devs that came before. Even so, this is really something, no? 😃
I would guess a lot of news articles are copyright to the news agency that makes them (even local news) they could join here and share content.
Okay, #JournalismMastodon, I’m curious to hear what your views and ideas are for how Mastodon can help bolster local news. I’m not sure aiming to make it just like the bird site is the best approach; that site has some flaws that are glaringly obvious now. Anyone here think there’s a way Mastodon can fill the gap of reliable localized news created by the total chaos on the bird?
These cards have the PASS logo on so they should be good for DBS checks et,c Ideal if you can't afford a passport or don't plan on needing on yet.
Worth the investment.
"Mek" now suggesting better self-publishing options for authors, proposing a publishing counterpart to OpenLibrary - "openlibrary.press" (with credit to Samuel Klein).
