Do you guys use the "note" section on Mastodon?

You know, when you go on someone's profile and there's a little section just above the bio where you can write something.

I must admit that I've never used it...

It's really pretty #amazing what you can do with a #burner #phone and a PO Box.

For example, did you know you can easily set up a #fake #Facebook profile?

And did you know that you can create a fake #profile for submitting #letters to the #editor in your #local #newspaper?

And did you know you can easily penetrate #fundamentalist #christian #websites to subtly sow #discord among their #tinfoil hat ranks?

I've updated the links in my #Mastodon profile to match where I'm most active / plan to be, aha!

Feel free to add any gaming accounts I may link. I love being social. <3 #Fediverse #Profile

To anyone thinking of following me in the Fediverse, I'm flattered.

But I don't accept connections without a #bio that gives me a good idea of who wants to share my thoughts.

So please, fill in your #profile with stuff that tells me who you are and what you value so I can tell you aren't a porn-bot or a troll. Unless you are, obviously!

As a final thought on the matter, if you're a TERF, Racist, Right-Wing/Centerist, Transphobe, or otherwise identify as a Bigot or Capitalist, just fuck off, I don't want to socialise with any of those. Everyone else welcome.

@bronakins Tips? I followed you anyway LOL but, I don't usually follow anyone that I haven't talked with. Real people, real lives. Those all about one topic are less interesting. USE your profile space. from other instances, we don't even see if you are posting or boosting or replying. The more info you can use in your profile, including Hashtags, will draw like-minded folks your way.. You have to use HASHTAGS in every post, so they can be found.

Not all of the crocodile’s head is in shot, just from the base of the head partway down the snout. Some of its formidable teeth can be seen, but the most obvious feature is its large, golden eye, staring out from its otherwise dark, ridged and lumpy hide.

New to Mastodon? Please take the time to do a couple of things.

1) Change your profile picture to something personal/meaningful about you as a person.

2) Fill in your bio. Tell everyone what things you're into, what #hashtags you are interested and anything else that helps us get to know you.

These things help give you an identity here that will help others know if they share the same interests as you.

So I'm sitting here in the dark, working on #Medium and trying to get my #profile, #website, and #theme adjusted. It's times like these where I enjoy the calm before the storm. I'm often reminded of how back and forth #life can be sometimes. From extreme #busy to extreme #silence.

Chapter 15 in the #Tao Te Ching that states:

"Who can be still
until their mud settles
and the water is cleared by itself?
Can you remain tranquil until right action occurs by itself?"

Sometimes, when you allow situations to settle, the answer will arrise all by itself. You don't need to force the outcome or stress. You only need to remain #calm and #vigilant.

I struggle with this with my #children and #wife. At #work, I'm cool, collected, and #pragmatic. But with my #family I'm quick to #emotion and #stuburn in my understanding of the situation. I suppose work is my #yin and my family is my #yang.

Like a crane waiting for a fish. be still and you will be provided for.

A disappointing part about #Mastodon is when someone #boosts / #likes you, and you visit their #profile and you discover you share a lot of similar interests!

So you #follow them - but they don't #followback.. and you never hear from them again..

..so you get in your own head...

Dont let this get you down - the #fediverse is new for a lot of us!

FIND TAGGED POSTS ON A PROFILE

Just loaded up someone's #profile (or your own) and only want to see their posts that contain a particular #hashtag? Turns out that its not one of their featured hashtags?

There is no UI to be able to do this, but it is possible with a small modification to the URL you visit.

In the URL, add a slash, the word 'tagged', another slash, and then the hashtag you wish to see.
e.g. /tagged/hashtag

In this short video I show how this works and highlight a couple of examples of it in action.

A plea, especially to people located in the USA where it's less common.

When you add your location e.g. on your profile, would you mind including the country you live in (if it's not sensitive info)?

Geographic and cultural context is sometimes important, and can help us make sense of a post.

I don't normally ask for a boost, but if you know Mastodon people in the US, I'd be grateful if you'd spread this request.

#PostsOnlyView / #OriginalContentView / another #Timeline / #Profile viewing option

I don't like how, when I try to look at someone's profile, I sometimes see a wall of boosts, the last couple of which are from me, and have to dig to see What this person is actually saying about things and if I might want to follow them for that.

Boosts tell me what you like enough to repeat, not your original thoughts. If you don't have original thoughts, you better be curating some epic boosts.

This would also help with that thing where you sometimes want to just see what your friends have been up to, but you can't because they hit the boost button so many times that other content is flowing to the top.

It would also help with the problem where people who post content for mass-viewing sometimes hesitate to boost because they don't want to hide their own original content from their audience.

#mastodon question: Does putting #tags in your #bio increase #discoverability ? I know tagging posts makes them easier to #search but what about your bio for your #profile ? #seo

Since pinned (#introductionpost) posts don't seem supported in many of the #mastodonapps, I added a link to mine (https://mastodon.social/@jherskowitz/109303852503148287 ) in my #profile.

Helpful?

I freakin’ love when people boost other people’s introductions! It’s such a great way to find new people too follow.

Also, I will boost intros especially for people who seem #NewHere and don’t have #hashtags in their intro, to help them get found. I don’t “vet” people before I boost, oftentimes, bc people are complicated and I don’t feel qualified to determine if someone’s a good human or not just from their profile.

So, new #Introduction, such that I have something to pin to my #Profile.

I’ve always loved #Technology. First our #Commodore64 and #Atari2600. Later, #MUDs and #Gopher on a remote #VAX / #VMS.

I was a #Webmaster for a mom-and-pop #ISP in #Ohio in the mid-#90s. We ran it out of our garage. Because you could do that then.

I learned nearly every relevant tech skill I have when I was 14 at that #ISP. #Linux, #Mac, #PC. #Networking, #Telecom. #Bash, #Perl, #HTML. #SysAdmin, #TechSupport. And on.

I don't have #photos for tombtuesday or givingtuesday - so I decided to share a simple #picture with you of an AI created #Avatar 😁

It is incredibly easy to create an Avatar with an AI. Just with some photos and selfies of you. I like it 😊

I'm as guilty of it as anyone, hence a reminder to all...
#hashtags are important here to find topics and get engagement.

There are no ads, no promoted toots and no algorithms for discoverability, so use them and search for them to find things!

And have a profile, people are much more likely to engage with those with an avatar than those without. And even more if you fill out your #profile

Okay my website is back up and running. I added the #Mastodon link to it in order to #verify myself. I haven't seen the green check mark yet. So I'm going to assume that it might just take some time for it to appear on my #profile

Tip 2 to the new #twitterrefugees:

Including a semi-real #name and #profile #picture will increase the likelihood that another #mastodonite (#fediverserati?) will engage with you.

It also makes this place way friendlier than the #troll-space called #twitter.

Yo #Fediverse, I need your help! I've been using my “Bloodaxe” name and logo just about everywhere I have a presence. However, I made a Pixel-art profile picture based on myself a long time ago. And today I decided to do a little Doom-like animation of it, just for fun 😃

Question of the day; Should I switch my profile pic to the animated one, or keep the long-standing axe? Both images will be attached to a post below this one 📸

Suddenly I cannot add newlines to #profile any more? #Mastodon 4.0.1 regression?
