Got a follow from @carrabelloy @club.darknight-coffee.org. I don't speak German but I recognize enough from this profile to know that it's bad news and I suggest you block the instance.

medium take: normalize cisgender people using they/them, Mx., etc. iff they want -- it's not like there are enough of *us* to make it a thing

wow just imagine what if bald rich man had power over government policy wouldn't that be cool

Hello new people!

Mastodon can be confusing. Trust me, I understand. I am tech illiterate.

Think of mastodon like a city. You can go anywhere in the city, as long as the roads are open.

Your instance, the url you used to log in, is your neighborhood. I, for example, live in the elekk neighborhood. I am one of the mayors of the elekk neighborhood.

In the neighborhood, we're all close. We can tell out the windows at each other on the Local timeline. I can hear you even if we aren't best friends because we're on Local together. It is just a thing that happens since we're close. I might choose to be your friend because I hear you playing my favorite game at 2 am and feel that's a conversation starter.

I can go to other neighborhoods. I can EASILY talk to my friends in the next neighborhood over. If I want to annoy flowless, I can annoy him on myasstodon.xyz. since it's the same city, just a different neighborhood. I don't have to leave elekk, I can just do that.

I can have a group of all of my neighbors and city dwellers I like (Lists). I can follow my friends around the city and they will show up in my Home feed, like I'm following them on Snapchat or Find my Friends.

Now, if I notice a neighborhood is being a little shit, and isn't stopping fash or is being racist or is just being really fucking annoying, I can destroy the road between my neighborhood and theirs (suspend). Or I can hide the exit sign (silence).

Or if it's just one person, I can hide their apartment (silence) or deprogram their gps (suspend).

If I'm feeling especially brave, which I never do, I can go to the Federated timeline that shows me every single persons posts all at once, like I'm using a Spy Jammer. (That is, except the posts that are Unlisted, which is like using a VPN)

I can DM people, or groups of people (but I gotta be careful if I'm talking about someone else, because they could get added to the dm if I don't remove the @)

Also, the report function works. As an admin, I can promise you I get a notification and have tools at my disposal to deal with bad actors.
