If there's one piece of advice I'd give the newbies still pouring in by the day, it's this; Post! You don't have to be a passive audience for celebrity accounts. Reply to random conversations and crack jokes, express yourself however you see fit (with respect and care for others of course). This place is here for you to share, as much as it is for anyone else.#FediTips

@strypey and caption your pictures for those using screen readers. It’s a really great part of mastodon!

@strypey yeah, is actually not much point in being on social media not being social

@joanjrob > I was quite nervous to express myself on the birdsite, but not here! So liberating.Fair warning, it won't feel this way all the time. We have our share of trolls and bullies and irrationally grumpy people here too and you'll come across them now and then. But the advantage we have over Titter is that the mods on your server have your back. They will look at reports in context and take action quickly (at least compared to Titter). Servers full of trolls get blocked at the gates.

@strypey @JBrianCoyle hello! Great advice. Reminds of the early days in the bird app.

@strypey thank you for the great advice. I appreciate it. I never shared much back in my bird days, so this is refreshing

@strypey You realize most of us are still recovering from the abusive relationships of other, anti-social, media sites, right?Sites where, if you posted, you were 1) Ignored (because you were delisted from the algorithm and no one saw what you posted) 2) dogpiled by bad actors, spewing vitriol, hatred, andat best, mockery if you dared to post something factual (the bad kind of mockery not satire) and/or 3) outright banned for trying to fight disinformation and lies. Usually under the false pretence of my account being "spam" when it was spam I was trying to report. That I was actively blocked from reporting.Not that reporting ever did anything at all, even when I was allowed to report accounts that were never ever held accountable or removed for the disinformation they were spreading.We all need to decompress a little, I think. The toxicity was very very real. The damage continues to be very very real, and it still has offline real world effects like the plague still spreading.

@strypey yep - that’s what I’ve been doing - all kind and all positive and the vibe reflects that back :-)

@thespoonless I'm really sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience 😟 The fediverse isn't perfect but I think folks here are better at responding to moderation issues is a timely way, understanding context, and taking rapid action for the wellbeing of people using their instance. Of course nobody is obliged to post, you're just as welcome to hang out and enjoy the vibe. But if there's anyone out there thinking their participation isn't valuable, I wanted them to know it definitely is :)

I'm almost intimidated by the number of times this 'express yourself' post has been favourited and shared. My @mentions have become a firehose since I posted this! It's great to see people talking about how much they're enjoying their experience here, and others jumping in with their own tips. Thanks fedizens! ☺️

@strypey I’ve done this a bit but always feel like I’m unwanted and barging in on someone else’s conversation. Like this, right now 😂
