@ScribblingOn I would like to think mastadon will change that, with out a manipulative algorithm (designed to keep paying advertising on top) people might start making content we want again. We will know when twitter is in ashes.
The #OnlineSafetyBill "threatens 40 million users of WhatsApp and other messengers with constant surveillance of their private messages. It will create a culture of everyday censorship that will disproportionately remove content from vulnerable, disadvantaged, and minority communities while claiming to protect them.”
@jim calls for a complete rethink of the Bill for it to be fit for purpose.
@georgetakei an insult to the penguins managerial skills.
Birdsite, abuse, just generally bad feels
So whose account is Elmo turning on first in his great reactivation of all the banned accounts? Will it be person who sent me perpetual vile accusations about my dead mother, or the stalkers who created a weekly campaign to contact my employer and the police about my tweets, sling insults about me and demand I get fired, or will it be the incels who sent me detailed descriptions of how they would abduct and torture me?
Round and around it goes, where it stops, nobody knows.
I can’t take all of those people coming back at once and just keep producing content. It’s not just mentally awful, it’s a legit threat against my safety. This is screwed up.
horny, yoga pants, booba
So these yoga pants are pretty nice
Especially since they are the only thing I'm wearing...

For your first day on Mastodon, just a few humbly suggested steps! Welcome to the party!
1) Consider if you're on the server for you, your hobbies, and your moderation desires. You can always migrate your account, later. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
2) Make a profile! These can be longer than Twitter ones - and you can format them with line breaks, italics (using asterix), and loads of emoji if your server supports markup. Check the emoji on your server, here! https://emojos.in/
3) If you liked who you followed on Twitter, use https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ and/or https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to create a csv of all the people you followed there to upload into Mastodon, using the web menu option Preferences > Import. Now you are following the same folks!
4) Using https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/, you can also export your Twitter blocklist, and import it using the same function in Mastodon.
5) Create an introduction post! Use lots of hashtags to help people find you and your interests, as there's no algorithm or string search function here. Make sure to add the hashtag introduction!
6) Get used to using hashtags in your posts regularly, so that people can find them manually or using the hashtag following function, or the rss feed function.
7) Use CWs liberally, to help people decide what to see. Follow your server's guidelines, but definitely CW those movie spoilers!
8) Use alt text in your images whenever possible, to help people with screen readers enjoy it here, too!
9) Enjoy your new community, and have a lot of fun!
Occasionally I see people complain about seeing porn on the federated timeline, and like, that's because you are literally consuming a feed of ALL the content across all the network of instances that your instance is connected to.
It's kinda like complaining about porn-like content in the Twitter firehouse, Instagram search page, or google image search with safe mode off.
The federated timeline is a big fat firehose of data blasting you straight in the face, of course you're gonna see shit
@iaintshootinmis @ChickenPwny I mean she's fully clothed. There is nothing naughty about that if you don't click the link is there?
OK, so my manager* says I need to promo my OnlyFans content soooo...every subscriber to my paid OF page (https://onlyfans.com/starr_xxxxx) will wake up to a daily lewd, nude or explicit pic/video clip from 1-24 December.
Of course, that's in addition to a ton of other x-rated content and chat that you'll get immediate access to for just $10/month.
See yall there 🤭😊😇
*I don't really have a manager, just a part of my brain that sometimes reminds me I'm supposed to be making money doing this as well as having fun!
Twitter's on fire. Safety!
