   Gonna gripe a little, please don't take offense.

   Having everyone post under #MastoAdmin solely that they updated their instance really messes with this tag that is primarily used to support each other in operating our instances as admin to admin.

   The useless post hides real upgrade help and issues other admins post throughout the upgrade process.

   People have been complaining of this habit for several years.

   I really wish we could come up with an alternative.

   Congrats on upgrading, though

     @paul @shanie This is the first I knew that there was a 4.2.11 update.

     Probably should update. 😀

     @shanie I waited until the after the latest upgrade cycle to post this.

     The fact that people were warning about a bad v4.2.11 update as far as the notification bug and to wait was hidden between so many "I just updated to v4.2.11" shows we need to come to a voluntary consensus about using the #MastoAdmin tag. Simply adding another tag with it, like #UpgradedMastodon or #UpgradedMasto would allow the upgrade posts to be filtered out.

     I proud so many people upgrade and love to hear the stories.

     #mastoSadmin successfully did not update :sparkles_pink: :sparkles_indigo: :sparkles_blue: :sparkles_cyan: let’s keep it up :blobcatartist: #2patch1week

     Edit: Seriously though I 100% agree, I was thinking of posting a similar thing during the patch cycle.
