Hello once more, friends of and explorers of the ,

Are you ready for some more useful tips to make the most out of your Mastodon journey? Here we go:

• Consider adding to images you post. Not only is it good for SEO, it's also considerate to visually impaired users. To add alt text, just click on 'Edit' after attaching an image to your post and write a brief description in the 'Describe for the visually impaired' field.

• Be mindful of the different on Mastodon. With a vast global community, it's always a good practice to be respectful of different customs, languages, and traditions.

• Get to know your server's and their policies. They're there to ensure a safe and harmonious experience for all users. In case of any trouble or queries, don't hesitate to reach out to them.

• In Mastodon, you can create to better organize the content you follow. It's a great way to categorize and filter your feed, helping you stay on top of topics you're most interested in.

• Remember, or an account or server is always an option if you find content disturbing or inappropriate. You have control over your Fediverse experience.

Together, we're making the Fediverse a better place. Stay tuned for more tips!

Long-ish, I know. Please read and boost, anyway.

I asked the 'Verse a couple times, and no one ever responded, so I researched it myself.

, , , etc ... these do **NOTHING** to prevent these things from happening, except in a "common courtesy" voluntary way ... and with some instances, manually enforced by proactive and .

**On the contrary**, the self-serving, data-thieving types that are inclined to write personal-data-scraping bots, are literally *more likely* to target folks with those tags in their bios, based on the reasoning that your personal data may be extra-valuable to steal.

Case in point ... there is a @yesbot@seal.cafe bot written (ironically, by some anonymous human) that explicitly searches for bios with the tag, just to tell people that it thinks (meaning, of course, the anonymous human that wrote it thinks) it is rude to use the tag, and that they should quit it.

@Gargron and other s ... please consider adding software-based enforcement of these kinds of tags.

Everyone else, keep using 'em, s, please require honoring these tags as a rule of your instances.

And everyone, consider blocking the @yesbot@seal.cafe (perhaps the instance it lives on, since the admin there has said they will do nothing about that bot), as well as any other "rude bots" that people identify.

MASTODON gets a mention in this story. As does Zuckerberg’s ability to use and alter others ideas successfully. And there is a clear and unmissable warning this will be yet another data collecting tool. Any mods or instances who bring this to Mastodon, really should be blocked, IMO.

Thank you for thinking of the

@wogan, @hnygd What have I learned? 🧵

I should treat not as faceless but as friendly hosts, and not mess up their place! The are obviously essential, but it's easy to cause problems even if I stay inside the rules.

Blocking trolls works well, but in order to protect my followers I need the admins' involvement. So that adds work for a couple of busy people, which isn't kind.

Ik vind meegestuurde afbeeldingen die 'niet beschikbaar' zijn binnen nu wel irritant worden.

Mijn vraag is: ligt dit aan jullie of aan gebruikers?

Als de laatsten dit zelf zo regelen heb ik niets gezegd. Dan is het spijtig voor die gebruikers én de lezer die graag wil weten waar die afbeelding vandaan komt. Meerwaarde van is juist dat je dit bij de kunt omschrijven, Jammer als dit niet doen.
