Yay goodbye garbagebird! Exploring upgrade to security across life, doing more shit IRL, scared to death of rightwings. She/her.
@ikea_femme ooooh, HOBBIES! There are groups for everything and if you live somewhere not totally rural, you'll have good choices! I recc #knitting - I love those ladies, and they make my life richer! :)
Newbie tip: Mastodon doesn't show the number of favs/boosts until you click on a toot, and also you won't necessarily see the full number of favs/boosts even then, especially if you're on a newer instance whose members aren't following that many remote accounts yet (only boosts/favs/replies from followed users are shown).
My advice: just focus on the content and the connections rather than the engagement metrics. Because that's what matters anyway. đ
Waiting for a meeting #holdmusic
@Alamantus Aaaaw! Cuties!
Think good housing thoughts - unexpectedly searching :(
@annasophia Also, I forgot to ask the first time because I was laughing - what's your preferred method of making thread/fabric? I'm a knitter and wannabe spinner (drop spindle noob, I'd love to buy an espinner in a year or 3).
@annasophia I enjoyed your intro very much, especially Big Gay and one person b-f party! :) imma gonna follow you, k?
@devBear Yeaaa # knitting ! If you can do socks, you can MORE than do a sweater! I only knit sweaters and socks - both are delightful. You might be surprised if you try it! :)
@Lioness Do it! Relaxing and self-caring feels so good when you motivate and do it!
@GucciPiggy@toot.cat Oooh, the green can (ipa) is so much better!
@lli No, but it sounds super cool! Please share!

Having moderated a large online community for about a decade now, I'm finding the collective arguing about CW protocol and kindness vs. freedom interesting and familiar and tiring and valuable all in a mix.
Community self-identification is a weird process, and I think I am mostly glad that mastodon doesn't by its very structure require the answer to be monolithic and universal.
But I will tip my hand a little and say that erring on the side of kindness is pretty much always defensible.
@chris Here's the source, let's make the complicated version together, for people who care about correctness. v1 targeted broader audience.
------
Toot by user
Foo;
if (Am I following Foo?) {
Show in "Home";
} else {
if (Is Foo a local user?) {
Show in "Local timeline";
} else {
if (
Did someone on my instance follow
Foo?
) {
Show in "Federated timeline";
} else {
This toot never even
reached my instance.
}
}
}
There isn't enough patience in the world for people who actively put obstacles in front of others who struggle daily with maintaining happiness. We don't all share the same circumstances, and most of us aren't fortunate enough to have a life of optional suffering and voluntary anxiety.
good manners and a little consideration takes almost no effort and can help improve the tone and energy of an individual or an entire community. Don't drain it. Fill it back up. Top it off.
Also, octodons, please have a snoring #pitty for your AM :) https://octodon.social/media/2UeEGuKYeuQgT3SoPLw
@ikea_femme Whoa - SUPER cute hair! Mine doesn't look that good even straight outa the shower!
Rainy PNW morning, pretty to watch but I got work to do. Gonna be a long weekend (of work). Sad but true: SO much better than sitting around reading the news being livid and depressed. Thanks tooters for understanding that refusing to partake in disaster *right now* doesn't mean being uninformed or uncaring. *hugs* to those who appreciate em!
