@pth what do you mean? I have a quote button and I just quoted your post as a test. seems to work. but people in replies are saying it's not a thing. confused.

wait, what? they aren't? I see a quote button and I am using it now on this post. confused.
Are quote posts not a thing?
Great article on content moderation. It's about twitter but mastodon will have to deal with all of this too if it keeps growing.

RT @ChandraPasma@twitter.com
A massive 71% of Ontarians believe the government is taking the wrong approach and should get back to the negotiating table.
The people are making their voices clear about what must be done.
Can you hear them @fordnation@twitter.com? Get back to the table.

@Pwnallthethings half?! I guess that must really depend on the community. among the people I follow on twitter maybe 2-3% are on mastodon.
@arinbasu yes, I know about this option but I was wondering if this is possible by default. Sounds like it isn't.

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Is there a way on #mastodon to make my replies to other ppl's threads unlisted by default? #mastodonhelp
@lawprofblawg lol, this is a great way to improve morale among your employees and generate good will toward new management.

A number of people have asked what I could have done better. In particular, I should have set the first post in the thread to public and the rest of the posts as unlisted.
Here's a fantastic explainer from @djnavarro via @flodebarre:

(It's worth reading the entire thing. I learned a ton.)
@ct_bergstrom @djnavarro @flodebarre thanks a lot for this post. that link was hugely helpful.
@rasmusdotse @rakyll
thanks! that did the trick.
@rasmusdotse @rakyll
I am using mastodon in a browser right now. interface doesn't look at all like in the above screenshot.
@rakyll this is mastodon in a web browser? Please elaborate, how does one get this view?

I think part of the appeal of the growing migration to mastodon is that we can look at Musk’s nonsense and collectively tell the richest man in the world: UNSUBSCRIBE. It’s downright empowering. (Alas not an option for Sam Alito, Trump, McConnell, Miller,, et al.)
@duetosymmetry may I suggest added your mastodon address to your twitter profile? that will make it eadier twitter users to find you here

Learning to use #Mastodon is a bit like learning to use Zoom, Teams etc in haste in March 2020. "Where's my server?" is the new, "You're on mute." It'll be fine. We'll figure it out ... Or not (and that will be fine too).

Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):
- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhone’s native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)
See all changes here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1
Thanks, @Gargron and @Mastodon Team. #Mastodon4
