In particular, please do not do any of the following.

• Don't write commission as c*mmissi0n
• Don't write Patreon as P@tre0n
• Don't use asterisks to avoid using certain triggering words people may need to filter out for their mental health, such as terms relating to sexual assault.
• Don't use 1337 speak to obscure words, in general.

Occasional reminder: You don't need to censor words here on the Fediverse. There's no algorithm to dodge. All you're doing is bypassing people's filters and annoying them with things they'd rather not see. Instead, use properly spelled hashtags (ideally, camel cased) to improve your visibility.

@shiri I know that public posting means it's readable to anyone on the Internet who finds it. But as long as it's on Mastodon, I still have controls to edit and remove things as necessary. My account being mirrored to another service without my consent removes the ability to control my content.

And besides, the right to reproduce a work belongs to a copyright holder. All it takes is one person who can afford to lawyer up and this becomes a prohibitively expensive lesson in copyright law.

@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews This should be opt-in, not opt-out. BlueSky doesn't use ActivityPub and, therefore, the tools users have to protect themselves on Mastodon are incompatible with your bridge.

I'll be talking with the other moderators and admins of furry-focused servers to inform them of this new risk to marginalized users and I'm confident they'll be taking appropriate actions to keep our communities safe.

:blobfoxdrakedislike: Paying a few dollars a month to use Twitter, which is run by a billionaire.

:blobfoxdrakelike: Donating a few dollars a month to help your Mastodon server, which is run by people who care about their communities.

Periodic reminder to check the "About" section on your Mastodon server to see if they have donation links. :)

@apps I receive notifications when there are new reports, but they aren't actionable. There's no way to click the Android notification nor the entry in Fedilab's notification column to do anything.

So, unfortunately, I have to tag this as "doesn't work" since whatever functionality exists is unhelpful.
