1. You can stop timelines scrolling automatically by going to Preferences > Slow Mode, tick box and click "Save Changes".
2. There are loads of "hidden" keyboard shortcuts. Press shift + ? (or just ? on some keyboards) to see a complete list of them.
3. There's an optional Tweetdeck-style multicolumn interface called "advanced mode". Go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick box and click "Save Changes".
So please, stop expressing yourselves like the US is the default country here and that most users are Americans. We're not. Love.
We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.
Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

more than 40% of the total users are on FIVE mastodon instances. In fact, more than 10% are on ONE instance.
That is NOT "decentralised", that is "centralised with minor exceptions".
(Can't say numbers since the-federation.info is ill today.)

I Was Wrong About Mastodon – EscapingTech
I said that Mastodon moderation wouldn't scale, it does. The cultural differences will likely continue to maintain a friendlier atmosphere regardless of size.Marcus Hutchins (escapingtech.com)
Appeareance of images attached to a post
Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @https://friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile/friendicadev Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:
Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:
- It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
- Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)
My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:
I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.
But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!

This works super nice because probably almost all instances federated with mastodon.social. But I worry to miss a lot of interesting content on a single-user instance.
What is your experience?

Try exchanging account addresses with them, the same way you would exchange phone numbers. This is the most reliable method for finding someone on here.
Your account address is on your profile page, and you can paste other people's addresses into the search box to make their accounts appear. You can then just click follow on their profile page.

But as we've now seen quite dramatically, a person with a big enough wallet and vendetta can just as easily destroy social history backed by a giant corporation. I'd rather put more trust into decentralized instance admins, particularly smaller ones. #Mastodon
This is impeding some take up.
And one BIG reason is that Mastodon hides HTTP referrer information for privacy reasons, so you cannot see Mastodon traffic in your web stats.
I agree with this decision – but I want to warm about this consequence, as I suspect organisations are underestimating the shift that has taken place. #webstats #analytics

advancedcontentfiler kannst du solche Beitraege blockieren. Ich finde es unter #Mastodon einfacher, wo du einfach den Hashtag direkt blockierst und nicht, weil er im Inhalt vorhanden ist.

It was an account set up as a bot using the Mastodon logo and name to appear official. Its profile was devoted entirely to text claiming your PC was infected and your account would be removed for slowing down Mastodon if you didn’t click a suspicious link to fix it. The account had no posts, follows, or followers.
It seemed to operate by favoriting potential victims’ posts without boosting, leaving no visible tracks of where it had been or what it was doing, while bringing eyes to its profile. I know I clicked over to its profile to see what the heck was up. I wasn’t the only one.
The scammers have arrived.

That said, I do want to make sure people know the Fediverse is much more than Mastodon. The question is: when and how to introduce that?
- You can pin the timeline. This is an in-app feature. This feature allows to customize timelines. You have to click on the "+" button.
- You can follow tags. This is a #Mastodon 4 feature. You will get messages containing the tag in your home timeline even if you don't follow the account.
It's easy if you try
No hellish trolling
Or that unfunny Tesla guy
Imagine all the people
Not blocking folk all day
Ah-aaah-aah-aah-aah
Imagine there's no blue tick
It isn't hard to do
No crypto diehards
No @realdonaldtrump, too
Imagine all the people
Boosting toots in peace
You-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But if Twitter's ever gone
I hope some day you'll join us
In the world of Mastodon

"This work shows that a decentralized approach to moderation can lead to higher content reliability on social media, says Jahanbakhsh. This approach is also more efficient and scalable than centralized moderation schemes, and may appeal to users who mistrust platforms, she adds."

Empowering social media users to assess content helps fight misinformation
MIT researchers built a prototype social media platform to study the effects of giving users more agency to assess content for accuracy and control the posts they see based on accuracy assessments from others.MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The #Twitter #migration creates a sense of urgency. But that rush is at odds with creating safety, a broad leadership team, real accountability structures...all the things that might actually make for a healthy community.
We've seen plenty of fast-start sites. It's hard but powerful to slow down & create conditions for lasting success & inclusion.
