What would be great is if, instead of blocking someone who is problematic, I could put a "warning tag" on their account. Then whenever they tooted, the toot would be visibly flagged for me as being from a warning-flagged user.

I could also choose to hide all warning-tagged toots, if I wasn't in the mood for dealing with them.

Even better: people who follow me would see the warning tags as well (popup on toot: "user has been warning-tagged by Woozle Hypertwin [and 27 others you follow]").

Hello! Just trying this out. I have a BFA in animation but these days I mostly just knit and doodle/paint for fun. Here’s one of my knitting projects: a toy octopus.

Courtesy message to content producers; notably you young comic/game/foss artists newly arrived (many lately) and eager to be found...

I'm seeing "brands" here working their PR/marketing 101 charms to get you to publish your work in their "communities". They might be on the straight and narrow, and you might be fine with *giving*. Regardless, the bottom line is they're using your work to benefit their brands/domains.

Decide accordingly. (How does it benefit you?) And always read ToS.

@Beelzebjorn @inmysocks
The difference here is that they actually get banned. Be sure to report them.

Well, with more people from twitter there are more nazis and apologists. How 'fun'.

So, have a #MastoTip:
being a douchebag while trying to be funny is still just being a douchebag. Claiming that by being offensive to everyone you are some how ok is also just an excuse for antisocial behaviour.

If you do these things that people are right to block you. Because you are an asshole.

I am going to answer this generally because I have seen several non-individual entities (companies, organizations, blogs etc) stumble on mastodon (welcome!) and be very confused about this issue of gaining traction in this new medium.

First, there are no algorithms here, or trending topics. You won't be penalized for a toot with less likes, or your account having less followers. So you don't have to compete against better promoted content just to be visible. :) Every single toot will be visible to your local instance. Followers and boosts will carry your posts across the fediverse.

Other side of the coin is that Mastodon is not a platform to mirror your existing content only, or to gain a one way audience.

Interacting with people, and being part of the ongoing dialogues (and quality/relevance of your content) is what will help you more in becoming part of one of the many voices within the community. :)

@ExilianOfficial I hope this is helpful and welcome to the fediverse. :)

Anyone else, feel free to disagree, correct, add..

#introductions

Hi all!

We're a new indie publisher with our first book, a #fantasy thriller by @jessmahler coming in January.

We love #sff and #romance stories that break genre tropes & have diverse characters.

Our whole team is #spoony and most of us are #actuallyautistic so we do things a bit differently, but it works and we have fun doing it.

We're mostly here to meet cool folks and connect with authors.

We'll be following #amwriting, #wip and other writing tags.

#introduction

Firstly, welcome to Mastodon! 💖 To get started, consider making an #introductions post about yourself! You can include media such as images, gifs and videos to show people what you can do or like!

In order for everyone to have a good time, please remember that anything that could be considered sensitive should go under a cw, which will make a show more button like this toot has!

NSFW is allowed, and needs to go under a cw. For everyone's comfort, on mastodon.art this includes non-sexual nudity! Depictions of sexual acts have to be of characters that are 18+ and have to be posted under a cw to followers only. That kind of art is good, but not everyone wants to see it, so let's be mindful of each other. 💖

This might not be obvious to everyone on all platforms, but links on the web version seems to only be clickable when https:// is included! 😃

And remember to use hashtaaaaags! ####!!! #art and #mastoart are the basics, and then you can add whatever you want as well! If your post is public, either posted to the local timeline or not, people across all connected instances will be able to search for and find your post! If you want to keep something private, make it followers only, and if you want to send someone a DM, include their @ and post to mentioned users only.

Again, welcome to Mastodon and enjoy yourselves! Don't hesitate to ask if something is unclear! 😄
