Ah, so you can’t edit toots either 🙊
Better pay more attention then!

@freemo ah never mind- public vs private . I understand now. Still getting the hang of reading reply’s first 😁

@freemo
we don’t?😥 lived in U.K. for 10 years now, but I missed that memo

@Ilsa oh sorry- I thought I’d hidden the image too 😞
From what I’ve learned so far: different instances/servers have different rules. There are unfortunately a handful instances that are openly nazi. But most are not/ including this one we are on. You can block individuals, but you can also block an entire server(although I don’t know how yet)
Also taking initiative to shield your own posts for others depending content is encouraged as to not upset the timeline.

@Tulikaa sorry No idea 😅
For now I’m searching some specific #’s and then randomly following people that intrigue me. I probably come across a creepy stalker already 😂

@Ilsa Glad you didn’t 😅

@Ilsa wait what !?!? No no no- for a second I was ready to leave mastondon 😂

Sharing an oldy sculpture of mine. Alas the title temporarily escapes me. Something like “invading&escaping”.

@JubalBarca
Agreed 🥰 #pangolin #linocut

@freemo it says @gab.com behind his name. Is that the server?

@freemo ah yes that makes sense. I wouldn’t want to bubble myself actively, but also want to keep on top of my mental health, so I’ll be more alert where a post originated from and block accordingly. Thanks again!

Holy moly. I thought this platform was supposed to be the anti nazi opponent? Within 2 hours of signing up- 4 clicks into a #- I’m confronted with an extreme vocal white supremacy tooter. A barrage of anti otherist-whites are under attack- type toots. This is just part of one example. Frankly I’m shocked.
What is the mastodon etiquette of what is/isn’t allowed? What sort of things warrent reporting? I see the report option is there, but I don’t want to faux par on my first day here.

@Tulikaa aah thank you!☺️ it’s quite a mystery still- but I’ll get the hang of things I’m sure

@biologyshyology on my first hour of this tooting thing, somehow I came across you and this post. I have no idea in what context you meant to write this; but it’s pretty much wording my artistic woes. You go down a rabbit hole of obsessions in a rollercoaster with your hands in the air- produce nothing for aaaages. And then suddenly you create a little pebble (for a while this meant a cordyceps obsession)
Anyway: felt like sharing. Thanks for being part of my tentative steps here ☺️

@freemo I must have accidentily changed it and it won’t default. Doh Thanks for being so patient!

Soooo at the moment I can only login via the profile settings in the confirmation email. (Which I’m sure will become tiresome after some years) And not via the app icon. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong? What are instances? #help #clueless #new

@freemo ah I see. am I understanding correctly I can’t add text of my own when resharing? (Like for instance your hashtag explanation post)

@freemo sooo I can’t even seem to figure out how (or even if) to do this. Do I just reply to yours (first arrow) or make a new post for my self and then boost yours?
