@servant Currently I do not listen to sermons outside of church and my college's requirements.

Update: 49,215 new users across different Mastodon servers since yesterday. Probably a lot of them are actually from yesterday. My crawler only runs once a day so I get a bit of a delayed view of things.

@e33io@fosstodon.org Yeah, I have blocked or muted several users already, and a handful of servers entirely I think. And some keywords.
I love being able to block whole servers, it really shows how good a concept the Fediverse's federation is.

@bearmine for folks in the US, it might be easier to think of Mastodon as a country, and instances as states. You can just start in any state, each state has its own rules, and if you find that it’s not a good fit, you can move to a different state to have an experience that you like better. Your posts live in whatever state you’re a part of, but can be shared with other folks in other states.

@arscslvt@fosstodon.org @murph Also, you can block servers that don't moderate the way you believe correct. E.g. if you block badsite.com then all @ badsite.com users will disappear from your feed, cannot follow you (I think), etc.

Hello @stafford_greer! You joined mastodon.social, which is really huge. If you want more community, here are a few ideas:
• Check out your server's local timeline. In it you can see other @ mastodon.social users posting. Find interesting people there and hit follow.
• Consider choosing a different server. Again mastodon.social is huge. You might like choosing a server that is focused on your interests. Such as fosstodon.org if you are into tech.

@bearmine Perhaps it has to do with email's age. I think back in that day people were more willing to do hard things — though yeah it really isn't that hard at all!

@e33io@fosstodon.org I'm not fond of its mother country but I have a Thinkpad, T14 Gen 1, and it is a nice, if overpriced, computer.

Hello newer users, here are a few neat accounts I suggest checking out (shuffled except for the first one):

@feditips: excellent tips on how to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse.
@bs: Bad Software ideas
@PetabyteStudios
@RL_Dane
@256: nostalgic screenshots and pictures relating to old computer technology
@mike
@Big_Diggity
@servant

Note that a number of these people are Christians (like me!). Only fair to say; it's your feed.

I follow more users, but these are some.

@RL_Dane @totoroot If you use GNOME Files / Nautilus, you can install sushi. With it you can hit space to toggle a file previewer. Real handy.
I don't think you would use GNOME though 😉

@e33io@fosstodon.org I really like foot, a terminal for Wayland. When using the client/server setup (or when not) it starts very fast, which I like.

Found a neat command recently.
We all know about `apropos`, a.k.a. `man -k`
Well, `man -K` is a lot like `man -k`, except it performs a *full-text* search of all man pages.

Nifty!!

#man #ManPages #UNIX

Quick tip: if you camelCase your hashtags, people who use screen readers will have an easier time with them.

So, for example: #twitterMigration or #TwitterMigration instead of #twittermigration

#accessibility #a11y #fediTips

@RL_Dane I wish every program would let you export data.

Once you get past 99 open tabs, #Fennec / #Firefox Mobile just displays an infinity symbol in the tabs button.

Why ya gotta be so snarky, foxy?

Time to cull tabs and save bookmarks.
I just wish I could export all tabs to a text file, since that's how I keep my bookmarks.

Again, what Mormonism stands for isn't what "Christian" means.

@dallin@fosstodon.org There are significant enough differences between Christianity and Mormonism to make it a different religion. For example, Christianity is monotheistic: Isaiah 43:10; 44:6; 45:5. Unlike Mormonism: _Mormon Doctrine_, p. 163; Articles of Faith, p. 35. And Christianity teaches that you are saved by grace through faith and not by works: Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:28. Unlike Mormonism: _Miracle of Forgiveness_, p. 206; _Articles of Faith_, p. 92.
