Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

Blocking servers risks creating echo chambers.
Never blocking or silencing servers risks bad things as well, I do realize. I'm just saying we need to be careful. I fear for the future of the Fediverse.
I'm visiting home for Thanksgiving. We have Smash 4, the version I would play before I was introduced to Smash Ultimate in college.
Oh my, going back to it, it feels *so* floaty and slow-motion! I couldn't believe I used to play Smash at Smash 4 speeds.
Maybe the block of qoto.org is warrented, I'm just worried. Everybody disagrees on everything it seems 🫥

@FediThing This doesn't mean that you should block them, necessarily; you block a server if you need to not see what any of its users are posting (including replies!). Just because they don't moderate against *other* servers correctly doesn't mean that their users' posts need to be silenced! Even when they moderate incorrectly internally, we, across the Fediverse, disagree on how to moderate so if we are going to take this policy this strictly, we will fragment the good as well as the bad.
@FediThing Qoto.org silences four servers currently. https://qoto.org/about/more
These aren't blocks, but this is worth noting...
@RL_Dane @Big_Diggity No you don't sound like a snowflake to me. Toxic is bad! It is one of the reasons I moved from birdsite, too.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.
For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).
"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.
There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.
It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.
Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

I've been on a chronological timeline both here and on Twitter for a few years. Here is how I manage it:
I don't follow lightly. Following means I want to see all your posts. I read each post.
I filter. When ppl fill up my whole timeline with streams of posts too often, I either filter boosts or unfollow. It's nothing personal.
What about trending? Easy to tell what's trending because people w/ shared interests who I follow post/boost about the topic. If not, I follow someone new who does.

Tooting from @maartje 's Mastodon 3.11 for Workgroups! Though not sure if the parsing weirdness is my poorly setup WebOne or not
