One of the most important things to know if you're migrating here from Twitter is that simply liking a post does NOT cause it to show up in anyone else's timeline. That only happens if you actually boost ("RT") the post.

This is especially important when creators you care about are trying to get the word out about their work. It is unbelievably disheartening to send out something important (like a Kickstarter link) and see everybody like it but nobody boost it.

REMEMBER TO BOOST THINGS

@kaniini why not federated reddit

My wife: I dreamt that you tried to outlaw the concept of sandwiches. You went to court and everything.

Me: Sounds like something I'd do.
[5 second pause]
Court is a type of sandwich.

My wife: It's okay to not be you.

we need to improve the UX of mastodon to better fit the mental model of how it actually works

Federated services are good and there are many use cases for it.

However, some people tell you over and over again that federation automatically implies more security and privacy.

We discuss these myths: 🔎
