One of the most important tools for trust and safety efforts is the “block” feature, allowing a user to entirely block someone else from following them. Yes, on Twitter you can get around this by g…
@Hypersapien This could make his decision a wonderful backfire
Imagine posting something like:
You can’t block this post, can you? You could if you’d joined [mastodon instance]. [then continue with a few words about the instance in question]. It is part of the decentralized platform called Mastodon, where you can reach millions of other real people both on this and other similar servers of the network. Sign up by [provides steps to sign up]
Edit: same can be done with Calckey for example, but with no need to promote a special server, since Calckey doesn’t force you to sign to it’s main server through any of the apps iirc
I won’t lie. As much as i hate Elon. Him buying (and destroying Twitter) is the single greatest thing that has happened for the fediverse and its growth.
I think we need something like that for twitter and for Reddit. Having something quick and concise with some links where to go is bound to get more bound headed our way
@lohrun sadly I don’t think spez is that stupid to fuck every little thing up from a social network, all at once almost. Sure, I think you can buy some ad space on Reddit, but imo there’s nothing too evident for this to be easy peasy.
Not to mention, Mastodon was already larger than Lemmy when the crisis point happened (the other two contenders, kbin - which is still in beta - and Lotide, are even smaller!). Maybe convincing the sub admins to try to be admins of communities and see how it goes? (Except that there are multiple communities here on the same topic, but on different instances - again, not sure how this is gonna work out)
Time to promote the hell out of Mastodon
I just can’t get over how uncatchy that name is though

@dirtmayor @Hypersapien
I am 100% on board with this.
