a tip to all new users: we like to refer to twitter as #birdsite here on the Fediverse.

malta tuga a chegar agora: usem e abusem do recurso de Content Warning! uma das diferenças fulcrais entre Mastodon e Twitter #birdsite é justamente a quantidade de opções e recursos que visam combater a toxicidade e conservar a saúde mental da população do Fediverso. mas elas só funcionam a 100% se nós as usarmos e vermos tudo isto de maneira COMUNITÁRIA. é importante e saudável desaprender os hábitos ruins cultivados nas redes corporativas. #MastoDicas

good morning, fedizens! ​​

yes, I started my day at 14h, what about it? lol

status: doing some Fediblock maintenance on my instance, reading some great threads on this beautiful Fediverse, being sure of the decision to sunset my #birdsite accounts and getting ready to plan how to execute it, considering doing the exact same for my facebook account, realizing both are gonna have to be a 6-month to a year-long process, deeply sighing, feeling happy about it anyways.

@micahflee awesome text and reporting, thanks for sharing. I just have a suggestion: the press/journalists should stop referring to Mastodon as a "rival, competitor" to #birdsite. Mastodon is an open descentralized network based on free open source software, it's not competing with nor rivaling anything, quite the opposite, considering how the Fediverse works and its core philosophies. it can be referred to as an alternative to birdsite, at most.

I sincerely hope Mastodon never implements "Quote Boosts", it is one of the most malign things from #birdsite.

when I look to the world thru the #birdsite lens I don't wanna be a part of it nor take part in it.
