Hold up. We have a 512 character limit here on Mastodon! Can’t wait to see what people code with it 
We need better dogs. I just asked the one in my office if she could please make me a sandwich, and she looked at me as if I'd asked her to cater an entire seven-course banquet!
@jumile Ooh, bad luck. Well done on promptly being a good netizen, though. 👍

Tip 1: Use hashtags. There's no algorithm to suggest followers or shove posts into your feed in the hopes you follow someone.
Tip 2: Boost (re-post) toots liberally. *You* are the algorithm.
Tip 3: Use CW (content warnings / content wrappers) to discuss politics, the meta.
Tip 4: To create "threads", make the first post public and each reply "unlisted" to prevent clogging up your instance's feed.
Tip 5: Provide text descriptions, even just basic ones, when attaching photos or media.
Tip 6: Use the "report" features for moderating trolls so your admins can take action.

Me likey. I can already feel my endorphin producers hammered from exposure to the b**dsite returning to normal functioning.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Go on twitter, great clown Elon Musk is destroying his reputation and all three of his businesses with increasing erratic behaviour and incompetence, the schadenfreude will cheer you up!’
‘But, Doctor…” says the man…
@jumile Hopefully an opportunity to reset the microblogging paradigm without the accumulated crud.

@FintanOToolbox That certainly is a face.

Twitter, Musk
@xtaldave It's embarrassing.

This feels like is it stating the obvious (and it is from 2021), but it is still worth stating.
Longer passwords are better.

Oh my, the "☑️ Enable advanced web interface" option! 👌
@happysinger Personally, I found dumping Facebook to be one of the best things I ever did. The wife still uses it, and when I've looked at hers, its become even more of a toxic commercial shithole than I could have ever imagined.
@happysinger I felt that way about Tumblr too, until it turned into the current hellscape: I loved the idea of microblogging (and I kind of get some of that feeling back here) so I have some "hopes".

A 🧵 on what I want to call #CriticalMastodon. Just a personal view, but without the insight or dress sense of Jacob Bronowski.
@happysinger I will. I'm too full of chocolate to think properly just now.
@happysinger I guess he could be considered "fun" in the "rubbernecking a not-serious car crash where a mini ends up in a tree next to a bemused cat" kind of way. 🤷
