Welcome to The #Fediverse! Some thoughts follow
So in recent light of #twitter exodus (thank for the relentless Fediverse publicity work of #Musk) there are a lot of people coming over ...Globally echoing notes
The "search" field is magical: it can look up remote users or services, too!
For example one can follow a #writefreely #blog by searching for the "user" it's publishing on, like @globally-echoing-notes
It works because that service offers an AP compatible protocol.
There are no #public posts. 🥺
Posts are sent only to the people following you (plus your local server community which may be a few people or a lot, it depends on where you are), nobody else.
People wanting to follow you cannot see your old posts either.
The system is basically "subscribers only", that's "federation".
Is it just a thing, or is there a secret fediverse blacklist committee out there?
