Eu não sei de onde veio tanto BR (é de uma turma de colégio pelo que entendi?), mas se vocês são novos no Mastodon, uma coisa que demorou pra eu encontrar foi como enviar PM como no twitter; é só clicar no "Adjust Privacy Settings" e selecionar "Direct" (manda o toot apenas para os usuários que você marcar), só pra ajudar quem nunca mexeu no Mastodon e é novo por aqui, bjs de luz.
Social networks give us an effortless way to tune in to the broadcasts of people we know, satisfying our need to know “what’s going on”… but those broadcasts are often a shallow intersection of what people think they want to share and think we want to know. Vulnerability is rare and difficult.

A child sleeps in the bedroom closest to the stairs. They can tell which family member is climbing them just by their footsteps. One night they recognise a different set of footsteps. Their own.
