VIOLATION: Instance cobalt.fish has defederated from mastodon.nz, citing reason "australians"

Stop writing software to "delight" users.

Start writing software that confuses the user a little bit. Software that is a tad weird to the user. Software that slightly curses the user and their offspring.

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.

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

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...

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?

@Gargron If you replace publish with toot I will immediately support your patreon for ever

@moaparty

I'm not seeing my cross posts happen anymore. Did something break on the Twitter end, or did my instance get marked dead when it was down for a few days?

Is there a good way to diagnose this?

Job Interview:

Who's you're favorite Beatle?

Sorry, I don't think this is a good culture fit.

> I don't think Pleroma has nazi flags on it but some people do

I mean this is it, isn't it? What are you supposed to do when people see things that aren't there? Do you radically adjust your behavior to accommodate them?
