Hey there,
A friend joined Mastodon yesterday, made an introduction post where he mentioned that he is gay and then received an absolute deluge of really nasty homophobic abuse.
He was shocked and scared and immediately deleted his account.
I don't know how this can have happened or how we can protect against this.
Do you have any advice?

@feditips thank you! So, as a resident of mstdn.social, I need to ask @stux

@feditips thanks for the tip. Another question, roughly how many seconds of video can I upload. On twitter it's capped at two minutes twenty seconds - does Mastodon have an equivalent cap?
