@Felicea ich frag mich ja, ob man besser sein Archiv löschen sollte
@der_raDDler ich hab die Route heute mal mit meinem Kind ausprobiert. Insbesondere zwische Schlüter- und Bergmannstraße hatte mein Kind Angst, da die Straße dort echt schmal ist aber so viel Verkehr war, sowohl in unserer Richtung überholend, aber auch in Gegenrichtung. An der Bergmannstraße angekommen steht man dann mit Fragezeichen da, wo es weitergeht, aber das wird ja evtl besser, wenn die Baustelle vorbei ist.
@bfdi @MDC_Berlin Vielleicht könnt ihr ja auch noch destatis hierherlocken 😎
@ueckueck @piratendresden nein das mit den Serverregeln war mir bis zu dem Beitrag vorhin tatsächlich nicht bewusst. :-)
Mal schaun, irgendwo hab ich gelesen man könne auch umziehen.
@ueckueck @piratendresden darum habe ich mich nicht "getraut" mich auf diesem Server anzumelden (also nicht weil ich dachte, dass der Server bisher rechts ist, sondern wegen der Vorurteile und weil sich mir die Frage stelnte, was wird wenn sich mehr und mehr rechtere Bürger anmelden
Real long aggregation of Mastodon etiquette for birdsite expats
Some Mastodon thoughts, for bird-site expats (which include myself). I'm aggregating these from posts I've boosted before, so little of this is my own brain.
- There's no algorithm here. That means favoriting/liking doesn't do anything except communicate approval to the OP and others (which is still nice!).
- No algorithm means boosting ("retweeting") is the true method to increase a post's visibility. Do that more than you did on birdsite.
- There's no post-quoting here, and that's by design. Look at quote-tweets on the birdsite; it's a feature primarily used for toxicity.
- There's no direct word-search here either; that means you want to use hashtags to make posts more searchable. This is also intended, since word-searching posts was often used to harass/stalk on the birdsite and elsewhere, so that was left by the wayside here. This also means hashtags are much more a thing here than any of the algorithm-powered sites.
- It's encouraged to put in text descriptions when you post images; a lot of Mastodon users use screen-readers due to various disabilities, and getting an image description read out loud helps them immensely.
- Speaking of screen-readers: using capitalization in your hashtags allows the screen-readers to read them more easily, especially if you're smashing multiple words together. #rockmusic = unreadable. #RockMusic = readable.
- The best way to make threads is to make set your first post as public, but "unlist" all of your replies. This prevents your whole thread from clogging up feeds.
- Content Warnings should be used more liberally here. If you haven't gotten the impression yet, much of Mastodon was built and populated by marginalized groups who were harassed/bullied off of other platforms. This is the culture they built, to respect each other's mental health. It's not a rule, but it's well-appreciated.
- Consider chipping a few bucks towards whomever runs the server you're on; the strain is real, and most server admins were likely paying out of pocket before so don't have an existing donation base. The growth here has been extremely fast, and that means money's needed.
- DMs are just posts with privacy settings. So if you @ someone in a DM, you pull them into the thread. That could be embarrassing.
- Also, no, DMs aren't end-to-end encrypted, but they aren't on Twitter either. Don't use either if you want true privacy.
- Including your Mastodon handle in your birdsite profile will help people find you here; there's a tool (pruvisto.org/debirdify/ is one of them that's used) people can use to pull Mastodon handles from Twitter profile.
- Use the blocking and reporting features liberally, if needed. This should go without saying, but they work, and work well!
- If there's an entire Mastodon server you don't want to hear from, you can block the whole thing too.
- Preferences -> Appearance -> "Slow Mode": this can make larger "Local" feeds and any "Federated" feed much more readable.
I'll reply with some more as I see them, or reply here too. I've only been here 4 days but I'm loving it so far.
@kjpgehrden spannender wäre doch die Frage:
Wo bist du mehr unterwegs
Mastodo
Twitter
;-)
@dissidentenDD soweit ich weiß: die ursprünglichen Amtsinhaber + Kaden, Hase, Maaß(?)
@Kasimir Hat deine Große eine Fahrradtasche statt Ranzen? Wie kommt sie damit dann in der Schule zurecht?
Das Fabulöse Fakten von @Fuchskind ist da und nun muss ich wirklich noch fast 7 Wochen warten bis ich es schenken darf? 😭
@Kasimir Oh schön der Morgennebel 😍
@Kasimir falsches Jahrhundert 
@Einzigartiger Es müsste mehr Geld geben, wenn man es boykottiert, als wenn man es nicht boykottiert. Sonst passiert nichts.
@eckes Noch geschickter ist es dann, die Sicherung dann auch wieder reinzumachen 
@stefanmuelller Da ist ein E im Kennzeichen am Ende - als wird es wohl schon ein E-Trabbi (oder Hybrid) sein
