@RustyRing You haven't witnessed the racist and abusive behaviour because, currently, Mastodon users cannot see all the replies of any given post, due to the way Mastodon works.

A solution has been implemented on our instance, and I can now see all replies to a post if I want and it makes a huge difference! I can see the spam, the nasty posts, and the well-intentioned users just repeating the same thing over and over again because they can't see that someone else already said it.

We hope that it will be incorporated to the main mastodon code asap (https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113492013112472961 by @jonny).

@rysiek Yes. They could start by making sure the president cannot influence the Justice system..

You all, this is the clearest and most accurate explanation on how to move from twitter to #Mastodon that I have seen in a while.👌

Please share it with all your friends who are still on Twitter:

What point is there in reading the news when 1) it makes us sad and 2) there is nothing we can do about it? 😕

I feel like we have a duty to know about bad things happening even if they don't directly happen to us but what is the point if we are not doing anything to fix these bad things?

Maybe the real question is how can we fix the world even at an individual scale and to be able to figure that out we need to stay informed.. even if it hurts 🤔

@neuralreckoning I was just thinking that one way that I can help at my own scale is by helping with our mastodon instance which is providing this unbiased space where we can freely discuss among ourselves. So I'm trying to see how we can improve it to get more people to join and stay :)

@neuralreckoning thank you for this empowering comment :)

Oh no someone sent me this and I have to post it even though I know people will hate it here

PS: Linux users, I love y'all

@kaia what kind of games do you like?

@evan come on, that's an easy one

@tante what's an alternative privacy-oriented browser?

@evan None?...

Finally got a #Fairphone5!

And I just realized that I would need to switch from my favourite #Mastodon app (#IceCubes ) to an #Android-compatible app. What are your suggestions?

@David this other article also has a lot of arguments on why should everyone care about Covid: https://www.okdoomer.io/everything-that-friend-wants-you-to-know-about-covid/?ref=ok-doomer-newsletter

Ok this might break #Mastodon but I’ll try..
the Vermillion lakes, panorama, just the place where I had lunch today 😭🫠 :blobratheart:

@kaia still, I should thank on behalf of my past self! One day (in Paris) my wallet got stolen in the underground and when I realized it I started thinking about all the paperwork I would have to do to remake my ID card and driving license etc. but a few days later I got a phone call from the police and someone had found it and it had almost everything in it! I was SO happy and relieved…
So, thank you 🙏

@evan thanks!!

@evan ooh I just realized Montreal was on an island!! Thanks!

Hi… what is there to see as a tourist in or around #Montreal?! Particularly:

x nature-related things, like natural parks with moose
x good vegetarian/ vegan restaurants
x a nice cinema

Thanks / Merci! 🇨🇦

Edit: formatting

@renchap very cool! Looking forward to it being available to all :)
