@rats the ol' "Member Satisfaction Survey", eh?

One thing that I've seen mentioned less than other #fediTips these days is that in the fediverse culture the number of followers isn't considered important, having *mutuals* is.
Some instances even hide the number of followers and people followed, and users can do so for their own account.
Even when it's visible, having a huge number of followers and following very few people is looked at as a oddity, and a sign of somebody who's probably not interested in interacting with people, and thus is not really part of the fediverse culture.
The converse is also true: users with almost no followers who follow a lot of people (unless they are really new) give a bad “bot” vibe, and people in the fediverse tend to be wary of them.
Having a reasonable number of both followers and people followed is seen as ideal.
This doesn't mean that you have to follow everybody who follows you! curating the list of people you follow is an important part of the fediverse experience, and you should only follow people whose posts are of interest to you and will make your life better. However I'd recommend giving at least a chance to everybody who follows you, looking at their profile and posts and consider whether you want to follow them.
And then, remember that unfollowing people is perfectly acceptable and requires no explanation: following somebody is not a long term commitment and consent can be given and taken away at any time.

@esheep It was _3 In Three_.
Looks like the author has it up for download, with an emulator package to make it playable on modern machines too!
@esheep this reminds me of that video game where you played as the number three.

Half of web users are running ad blockers.
With your support and help, we can get that number higher.

fedi is inherently insecure and vulnerable to many types of attack. for instance, kaiju
The answer is my instance admin put a media block on milker, BTW.

did this post edit federate to your instance?
edit: test edit
Follow account that posts anime screenshots: sure, why not? Seems like it would be fun to have in the timeline.
They post a bunch of racial slurs.
🥶
Whole Lotta nope.

You're ripping a 2 CD set titled "Greatest Hits Volume I && II".
Individual discs in the case are labeled "Volume I 1988-1990" and "Volume II 1991-1994".
What album title do you give the individual music files from the first disc? Greatest Hits...
"Greatest Hits" for both disks. (Assuming the band name is visible elsewhere in the naming convention.)
@Azure I can see where it adds a lot of value for the instance admin.
I'm not sure how much value it adds for a non-admin user, except that it tells you a lot about the admin, which is valuable on its own, but not in a straightforward way.

If the CoC uses subcultural shibboleths, that tells me way more about what will happen then the listed rules do.
@pee_zombie oh yes.
I have a pinned <what to expect from this account> warning.
(My favorite one is the one that says "I will not send you angry bees in the mail."
Ah, here it is: https://theungrumpablegrinch.tumblr.com/coc )
@pee_zombie if you de-federate other instances, well, that's a very coarse filter.
If I block or unfollow people that's fine, but the instance CoC doesn't really come into it.
@pee_zombie I saw a conversation where people were talking about what instance is best* and mentioning a specific instance having a great Code of Conduct and I was very confused.
It's _nice_ that most people on Schelling are part of the same social circle, but I follow enough off-instance people that the Schelling CoC doesn't really have much to do with what I see.
* for $minority $activity, of course.

The feminine urge to [REDACTED]
What good is a Code of Conduct on a federated platform?
Jerks will just go to a different instance.
Is there a real value there?
