@jstevenyork@mastodon.social Thank you! I'm new here and look forward to something positive and get away from FB and Instagram or should I say META now. I can't keep up. I just like reading other people's stories and ideas and sharing some of mine.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social I find mastodon makes this pretty difficult- Having to action *any* post makes a very scary warning and email show to them. I get it's not cool to silently action people but at the same time I don't want to scare them 99% of the time

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social curating my feed has definitely been a bit of a learning curve! 😅 i’m so used to algorithms throwing things at me automatically, and i’ve realized just how intentional you have to be about seeking out and following accounts on mastodon

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social this is the reason I kinda gave up on mastodon after the 2022 post-elon migration. People here were so rigid and unwelcoming to newcomers. I have voiced opposition to certain cultural things here and I kinda get the idea people don't want to grow to make space, they wanna keep a comfy bubble.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social Thank you for this. One of the reasons I’m rarely on here. Actually not even sure why I am now. 🙂 It was just spur of the moment.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social boost and follow the content you enjoy. That's what I've been doing since I created my Mastodon account in 2022

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social It is difficult. Especially for us oldsters! It certainly limits participation.. So all the help is awesome. But first you have to get thru the front door to get it and that can be trying for newbies. Thanks!

My most important tip to new users: Follow at least 500 accounts and 10 favourite hashtags. Then Mastodon starts working for you.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social I agree. It was hard to establish myself here, but I have found an amazing #autistic community here who are hugely supportive of each other. It's about finding hashtags and interacting to get out of things. @deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.org

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social I don’t know. Sometimes I think the bashing of people is a feature. Not a bug. I don’t think masto has been historically kind to new people coming in with intention.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social Like, propose an alt-text in your reply, don't just criticise its absence.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social Been here just a few days since fleeing Twitter toxicity; posted a couple of items, responded to a couple of items. I haven't yet figured out how to find lively discussions on topics of interest--mostly religion and politics.

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social occasionally you may find someone who posts interesting/insightful stuff but it turns out they’re also a boost factory. Fret not, in their profile (displayed on your server, this will become clearer with time) you can click the user menu (…) and hide just their boosts. You can also add notes, like “found in timeline” or “recommended follow”, “followed bc they post ducks”, or “blocked bc the ducks were nazis!” These are stored on your server, only available to you and your admin, and can help you remember the details of your parasocial relationships!

@jstevenyork@mastodon.social Yep! How many people already left after being yelled at: « omg you forgot the alttext/cw you’re such a monster! » 😅

maybe inclusivity and accessibility shouldn't be conditional on politeness
