@freemo Excellent new avatar you have chosen.
Ha!
I #LeaveTwitter and one of my last replies about #abuse goes actually #viral and 💯% positive response.

I don’t think Mastodon is “too complex”, that’s not the problem.
I think #Mastodon requires _intentionality_: people need to be very deliberate about their social media usage, the content the consume or publish etc. Before, on Twitter, it was largely superseded by algorithms.
This is very similar to "cutting the cord": transitioning from mindless pre-programmed TV consumption to deliberate streaming subscriptions. #twittermigration
Just found out that #projectmushroom users who want connection to the rest of the #fediverse can #migrate or use #Spore.social. See this thread:

In the past 24 hours, Ukrainians have been been blocked from signing up for Twitter using their phone numbers and using 2FA and accounts tracking Russian oligarchs' jets have been suspended.
What happens on Twitter can seem like a sideshow, but Elon Musk's actions are a direct threat to democracy.
If you are using a client (likely most people) rather than directly on the Web, that solves the problem. I'm on a browser.
@Chris Only works on some instances that have enough emojis installed, sadly.
New Reddit (r/UFoI) for doubters & supporters to meet, controlled by the critics. That's good actually.
I don't want to leave a mistaken impression. We are not invited, an you have to apply to join, but even so, I am glad they decided to do this.
Feels like a gender reveal.
Well most people use their home timeline, which is already curated.
I would suggest you go ahead with using public setting as you would like, but just use CW for "strong" post, and you will fine and happy.
I have been asked, gently, not to cross-post from 
so much, but no one seems to care about my personal opinion posts. I usually CW those.
Erm, depends on time of day. #QOTO.com outside of work hours is much looser. I am there mostly late in the evening US time.
I still stand by QOTO being completely tolerant of non-STEM.
Follow the "Local" timeline on #QOTO.org for a few minutes.

You'll see the majority of public toots are not #STEM or STEM-adjacent. I am not even sure the active members are majority STEM people. So, no worries.

Oh, FFS. There are Mastodon admins trying to get the Raspberry Pi server on Fediblock?
That's some really pathetic thin-skinned bullshit.
On the other hand, maybe something like this will be the death knell for the centralized nature of Fediblock.
5 months, tops

Back on your link to 
is broken (typo, mastOdon, not MastAdon).
With regard to abusive people and abusive platforms:

That sounds so negative, but it is actually a very positive thing to realize.
