For everyone showing up here again: You should stay this time.

There are no ads.

Troll farms get cut off at the source.

You can edit your posts.

You can follow hashtags.

There are no limits on third-party apps. If you are having trouble and don't like your interface or your mobile app, you can just try another one. Ivory is really good, but there are others.

@alexwild You know what, I don't object to ads. Everything has to earn it's keep. Anyway. Glad it's here. Hope I'm welcome.

@andydoz I donโ€™t mind them in principle, but over the last couple years it was every 5th post and getting cumbersome.

@alexwild Any eyeballs on that site are monetized. This should be reason enough to leave.

@alexwild I have discovered, so far, that the folks here are really much nicer and civil. Itโ€™s fun to talk to people again. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

@alexwild Also, people are nicer here. That's a plus!

(Also, no rage-farm spam attacks)

@alexwild the number and quality of apps for accessing Mastodon is amazing. So many beautiful apps that get regularly updated.

@alexwild itโ€™s hard to remind myself to log into Mastadon after using Twitter for more than a decade. Need to follow more users too. Think I have five so far. :-(

@robertjm Find a few big accounts who do lots of boosts of varied content and that should get you going.

@alexwild ivory is nice, like everything from @tapbots but so expensiveโ€ฆ im using ice cubes and its really nice and free.

@Jose_PS @alexwild @tapbots But Ice Cubes, unlike Ivory, only works with the very latest version of IOS, which is sort of shooting yourself in the foot by excluding all those potential users still using older devices.

@alexwild what is the censorship situation here

Hughster

Föderation EN Do 09.02.2023 14:58:49

@snowstoat @alexwild Depends which server you're on. Most major servers have a fairly boilerplate list of banned content, including hate speech and so forth, and they're pretty good at enforcing it. Other smaller servers might ban any number of other arbitrary things that you can usually find in their "about" pages.

Alex Wild

Föderation EN Do 09.02.2023 15:00:16

@snowstoat people can choose a server with the level of content moderation they like.

@alexwild how do โ€œtroll farms get cut offโ€โ€ฆ? Just curious

Alex Wild

Föderation EN Do 09.02.2023 14:58:25

@monday by the admins of other instances defederating troll servers.

@alexwild you cannot reliably edit across server boundaries though, only delete&retoot

Föderation EN Do 09.02.2023 15:29:54

@alexwild Should I do anything else when it comes to adding servers or sth?

Alex Wild

Föderation EN Do 09.02.2023 16:14:54

@nowatsky once you're on a server, you don't have to do anything. You'll be able to see and interact with posts across all the servers as if it were just a single site, except for those servers your own admins have cut off (usually for spam or hate speech).

@alexwild +1 for Ivory; just installed it and I love it on my iPhone. Tw is in the final countdown. Nothing left to see over there but the flames.

@alexwild yeah, but what about everyone getting mad at each other for their own emotional hangups? that's still the same here.

@alexwild Ivory is quite good. And will get much better. Fast.
