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!

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…

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

A 🧵 on what I want to call #CriticalMastodon. Just a personal view, but without the insight or dress sense of Jacob Bronowski.
I'm going to have to thank @happysinger for his enduring James Bond fixation for the inspiration.
I think the James Bond films gave us unrealistic expectations as to exactly how nefarious evil billionaires could be.
"Do you expect me to die?"
"No, Mr Bond, I expect you to post 'parody' on your social media account!"

Look, does anyone remember Usenet?
You could run your own group. You could join any groups. It was up to your local Usenet admin which groups were carried at your site (usually a university or government domain) and how widely your local groups got promoted.
It was also up to you/your admin what you DIDN'T see in your usenet feed. Lots of sites didn't carry alt.sex.*, for example.
If your're old enough, "the fediverse" is kinda familiar.
Is it mastodon etiquette (or whatever the portmanteau for this is) to "favourite" toots as "I like this" but without adding further comment?
Virtue is eating leftover birthday chocolates, *then* eating grapes, right?
Well, this is already less terrible than the birdsite.
