<p>Speaking about <a href="/tags/decentralization/" rel="tag">#decentralization</a> and Mastodon, does Mastodon official client onboarding flow still promote the &quot;mastodon.social&quot; or other single server as default option instead of rotating/randomizing across the list of known servers with option to type server manually? Without this <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> will have to &quot;block Missisipi&quot; too eventually. <br>Yes, I referring to that decision of <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> to block access to bluesky web UI from IP addresses in Missisipi US state due age-check laws adopted there.</p>

<p>I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> for Android downloads are up 455% recently.

<p>There are many post visibility settings on Mastodon:</p><p>🌎 Public - Everyone can see it</p><p>🌘 Unlisted/Quiet Public - Everyone can see it but it won&#x27;t show up in search results or trends</p><p>🔒 Followers Only - Only your followers can see it</p><p>@ Mentions/Specific People - Only people you mention can see it, often used for DMs</p><p>WARNING: If you mention someone&#x27;s account (if you @ them), they will be able to see that post on ALL visibilities.</p><p>Lots more info at:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts</span><span class="invisible">-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a></p>

<p>So about every other Home feed post is about <a href="/tags/bluesky/" rel="tag">#Bluesky</a> which I have filtered out</p><p>&quot;Show anyway&quot;</p><p>OK, show me</p><p>Damn, man, if y&#x27;all are so hot for Bluesky why are you wasting your time here on <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a>?</p><p>Trying to pull people along with you to validate your own choice?</p><p>One thing about Bluesky that I&#x27;ve never understood is that it&#x27;s only a web site</p><p>Given a web browser and a valid URL and you can go poke around to your heart&#x27;s content and see if you can find what it is that&#x27;s missing in your life</p><p>I spent about 30 minutes yesterday doing exactly this and came up empty</p><p>OK: you can&#x27;t reply or &#x27;like&#x27; or whatever they call it over there, but wander around and see if you can find what you&#x27;re lacking in your life</p>

<p>bear with me for a second:</p><p>a million reasons, but a big reason the <a href="/tags/democrats/" rel="tag">#democrats</a> lost is because the center of gravity for <a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#media</a> has moved to <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#socialmedia</a></p><p>where the <a href="/tags/trolls/" rel="tag">#trolls</a> and <a href="/tags/disinfo/" rel="tag">#disinfo</a> play. enough dum dums bought the lies</p><p>the democrats didn&#x27;t play that game. because what game can they play in that shit?</p><p>it&#x27;s literally owned by <a href="/tags/plutocrats/" rel="tag">#plutocrats</a> and <a href="/tags/fascists/" rel="tag">#fascists</a></p><p>so... how do we fight?</p><p>we need our own</p><p>and what do we have</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> and the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a></p><p>we need to grow like a fucking weed</p><p>am i wrong?</p>
