Finde schon ganz schön frech, Top-10 Hashtags von einem Bot zu holen und diese dann in einen Beitrag zu kopieren, der nur aus einem Spendenaufruf besteht.
Nichts gegen Spendenaufrufe im Fediverse, innerhalb der eigenen Blase finde ich’s legitim, sich zu unterstützen.
Aber dieses Vorgehen empfinde ich als aggressiv und belästigend.
Ganz egal ob Spendenaufruf oder etwas anderes, man nötigt damit den Beitrag in die Timeline von Leuten, die gerade ganz anderen Inhalt sehen wollen 😠
#FediQuette
Not at all! I love @FediTips, I boost their posts and send links to their work often. Our Help Centre is specifically geared towards Mastodon.social users, and the #fediquette guide is intended as a quick primer to help people get up to speed on our cultural norms.
When it comes to getting the word out about the #Fediverse, and educating people about how to have a good time here, I generally take the attitude more better!
@Mastodon
I'm equally—maybe even more—excited about another resource in our Help Centre.
#Fediquette: A Community Etiquette Guide
Our community is full of passionate people who care deeply about improving accessibility and respecting consent. This resource will help newcomers to understand our cultural norms here in the #fediverse and #SocialWeb.

@zildoorway
In case nobody has said it yet:
"Follow hashtags!"
That way you can see the topics of interest from whoever posts with those tags without needing to follow the individual account.
Ed...
Also "Use hashtags!"
So that folks who follow those tags can see your posts.
@inkorrupt danke dir für die klare Zusammenfassung der #fediquette . Was mich bei meiner Frage jedoch umtreibt, ist deine generelle, unkonkrete Behauptung, dass gewisse Teilnehmer diese umdefinieren wollen.
@heri
Naja, die #Fediquette(Fediverse-Etikette) bezeichnet die (ungeschriebenen) Verhaltensregeln in unserem dezentralen sozialen Netzwerk :fediverse:, indem n verschiedene Applikationen über ein gemeinsames (ActivityPub-) Protokoll miteinander sprechen.
[Die Fediquette ist insofern das soziale Pendant zum techn. AP-Protokoll.]
Zentrale Aspekte sind die Nutzung von Inhaltswarnungen (Content Warnings/CW) für sensible Themen (oder *hust* Spoiler 😏), das Beschreiben von Bildern für Barrierefreiheit, das Verwenden von CamelCase-Hashtags bevorzugt #AmEndeDesBeitrags (nicht wie hier im Fließtext), und generell der respektvolle Umgang, um eine inklusive und positive Kultur auf unserm Plattformen (wie u.a. Mastodon) zu fördern.

In diesem Kontext gibt es gerade etwas Unruhe, weil alte weiße Männer mit importierter Reichweite und Unionshintergrund meinen das Fediverse müsse sich ihren Gewohnheiten und Standpunkten anpassen anstatt andersherum.
Dazu habe ich relativ eindeutig Stellung bezogen, zu und freue mich über jeden Silberrücken, der das ähnlch sieht.
Als alter weißer Mann finde ich nicht, dass sich progressive Räume wie das :fediverse: an die Gewohnheiten und Standpunkte alter weißer Männer anpassen müssen, um einen adäquaten Diskursraum abzubilden.
Alte weiße Männer müssen viel mehr mit entsprechender Einschränkung ihrer Reichweite leben lernen, wenn sie die #Fediquette in ihrem Sinne auslegen.
[Wenn ich das kann, können andere das auch, also lasst euch nix einreden.]
"I can post tepid takes abt the horrible things happening in the world five million times a day but I don't have time to use a CW or approp tags" and other lies aholes on the fedi tell themselves.
(My new book)
If #fedi instances, or accounts on instances, come and go frequently in alpha software, would that kind of churn cause problems with other instances on the #Fediverse? What is the #fediquette for #fediDev?
Hey. You.
I know that there's serious stuffs going on. TBH, I bet I know a lot more and in a lot more deets than you think.
But...
Can you fking PLEASE use the content warning feature when you post about things that you know are traumatic for ppl? And tag it too?
"This is something they need to see!"
That's not your choice to make. It is thiers.
Respect their choice.
"I want to talk abt it! I need to!"
So content warn it and ppl who can, will. But it helps if you're not just blindly boosting.
"Fk u I'll do what I want."
Okie. I'll just block you, tbh. Or mute you if I'm feeling nice.
I'm not usually feeling nice.
RE: https://mas.to/@Gustodon/115948578249196777
Not for the poll, but for most of the answers: if you're wrong, and your post went "viral" (or not), _please_ admit it, so "downstream" people can get the correction too. It is a way to fight misinformation at its source.
@david_kehm Indeed, eyeballs should not be top priority, but alt text, for me is part of #Fediquette, like how we handle cutlery..
Assume: I don't speak your language too well, but I want to answer a question you pose on the Fediverse.
Would you prefer that I...
Context: I'm Spanish native, and can read almost all Latin languages (except Romanian and maybe others), but write in only two, maybe three. I have already answered to posts in "read-only" languages using at least one of these.
Boosts and more tags welcome.
Look, I don't want to tell other people how to do the fediverse, but here's a tip some of you may find useful: you really don't need to boost every single post in a long thread. If you do, then anyone who doesn't care about the thread is going to be really annoyed, and they may decide to hide all your boosts or unfollow you completely. Be considerate.
Similarly, if you're posting a long thread it's good #fediquette to make posts after the first "quiet" visibility.

I hope this thread helps members understand community needs and costs, and helps people stay mindful and intentional on instances
Many admins and mods run at little to no profit — we’re just people with all sorts of life events and struggles, managing instances with little to no help from Mastadon
It’s not just your report or feedback — it’s hundreds to thousands each week or day
We’re happy to have you! Please keep in mind community needs while you’re here
10/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
If you don’t want rules, moderation, defederation (protecting everyone and the instance itself) and don’t realize you’re joining communities that run higher costs because of your presence
Mastadon (or other decentralized platforms like Discord that function similarly) may not be right for you
Even if you donate to instances, you may cost instances more
One bad actor heavily attacking Disabled.Social cost a community fundraiser event — we can’t do it all
9/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
Members used to heavily posting on centralized social media platforms may not realize doing so on their Mastadon instances costs admins and mods more money, time and energy via increased demands on storage, bandwidth, and server processing power
That doesn’t mean we don’t want you to be here or post! It just means your admins and mods appreciate intentional posting (focused on community needs or news, not just ourselves) and donations that help the community exist
This is why it’s a smart business and safety decision to limit or suspend members violating rules and requests from admins/mods on different instances, who try to create instance wars and safety problems:
pitting communities against each other
migrating to new instances to post about ex instances
wanting instances to not use critical moderating tools like rules, strikes systems, admins/mods communicating issues across different instances, suspensions, defederating
7/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette
The above activities can lead to instances:
shutting down due to legal issues (why defederating from instances is vital, given different international laws)
running out of money to run the instance (especially if donating members quit due to safety issues)
admin/mod burnout and difficulty recruiting volunteers (most instances aren’t big enough to generate profit to financially pay off as a job; those that are, only some are paid, others volunteer)
