I just have to say, compared to 5 yrs ago when I first joined the Fediverse, there is so much creativity and expression on here now, it is a pleasure to watch this space bloom. All the ideas and innovation, the artistic interpretation, the science and education, and what’s my favorite part, people *helping* and *supporting* each other, especially in these challenging times.

You help redeem my faith in humankind.

Thank you all for being there.

Keep being you.

Keep sharing.

Even if nobody responds, someone out there appreciates what you post, even if they scroll past. (I need to remember my own words, here).

Thank you all, wherever you are.

🌏🌍🌎🪐💫✨

I'm curious, is there a way to know if certain words or phrases are being censored by an instance/server? I recently posted to one of the major social media platforms. It included "climate change" and we know that a number of corporations don't want people discussing it, so I wouldn't be surprised if few of my connections even see this.

re. Gargron

Do you think calling posts 'toots' had a negative effect on Mastodon?

I think maybe, but I also kinda don't care. I think when I first came on here I was like, 'why they called toots, that's stupids!' but I kinda like the toot now.

I think some serious social media shouty types might have scoffed at the concept of a 'toot' and laughed far, far away from Mastodon but that kinda sounds like a win to me.

idk there are enough sensible types on here I think .. somewhere .. not sure where though.

Jeg er ved at tage mig sammen til at skrive en motiverende #robot til #Mastodon. Ideen er at den skal skubbe lidt til nye brugere, så de får billede og profiltekst på. Måske skal de endda også ud og følge en 5-10 brugere. Guleroden kommer I form af skriverettigheder, når man har løst en håndfuld simple opgaver. Måske en automatiseret nypåmastodon hilsen. Det sikrer at der er lidt kød/tofu på de annoncerede profiler og at brugerne kommer godt fra start. Thoughts?
