Tips for new users:
- don't look at the federated tl
- block/mute people or instances if you don't like them
- choose an instance based on its vibes (small/mid sized usually is better)
- put your pronouns (or a blurb about how you want people to address you) in bio
- CW nudes, food, eye contact, and anything that is likely to be triggering
- censoring w*rds just breaks filters, better to hide it in a CW. discoverability is shit #onhere, it's damn near impossible to search for things except by hashtag
also any pleroma instance has a 50/50 chance of being a bunch of shitheads. tread with care
@heartles It is way higher than 50/50 but yeah tread with care
@Colophonscrawl i'm feeling generous right now lmao
@heartles actually it is pretty ok on types dot poland
@hazel oh yeah it's okay on some smaller instances that don't use relays. but even on monads, where everyone is a Cool Poster:tm: , it's p awful
@heartles as a new user who found this on the federated tl, thank you. :p
i haven't seen too much bad on the federated yet, as for the instance thing... i might move to a smaller one soonish.
thanks for the tips!
