Is it too egotistical to boost my own toots if I was particularly pleased with them?
#MastodonEtiquette

Aw yeah. This is how telling someone why you've declined their follow-request should go.

#MastodonEtiquette

Dear all, don't forget to hit the #favorite star whenever you appreciate a post!

⭐

It is like #smiling 🙂 to someone who keeps the door open for you: It costs *nothing*, and the more you do it, the more people feel appreciated 😊 The more they feel appreciated, the more they do what you appreciate: posting stuff you like! 🐴 🍄 🎸

Me llama la atención y no termino de darme cuenta: ¿Se usa menos por acá el faveo o es algo técnico (que no se muestran los favoritos de otras instancias, por ejemplo)? #MastodonEtiquette

Suppose I have two Fediverse accounts, which I use for different purposes. I want to follow you from both accounts. What would you like me to do?

Question: Is it bad etiquette to repost reddit content onto Mastodon even if I source the content back to the original poster?

What is the correct thing to do when an unwanted commercial account follows you? Do you mute or block?

How come some images won't load from other Mastodon instances?

What are boosts and what are favorites? What's the difference between the two?

what is the proper #MastodonEtiquette of replying to a follower only post? Should I make the reply follower only myself, or would that hinder followers of the original poster from seeing it, if they don't also follow me? Unlisted maybe?

If someone posts a gripe about something (don't worry, it's Instagram) and you chime in to pile on the gripe vibes, is it poor form to add a hashtag in your reply that might draw people to the thread?

It seems this shouldn't be done across the board. If I know a friend on here is not a fan of many replies, I'm not adding a hashtag, but that's about the extent of my protocol here. I'd love to hear if anyone has a decent way to navigate this grey area.

#hashtags #MastodonEtiquette

I am an aspiring follower of the four agreements. The hardest for me is probably #3: Don't make assumptions. This comes into play a lot on Mastodon, where, in my case, I am limited to 500 words. It is difficult to coalesce a complex, nuanced thought into that space. Because of that, I try to ask someone what they mean before pre-emptively blocking them. #DonMiguelRuiz #TheFourAgreements #Blocking #MastodonEtiquette #AskDontAssume

Just a reminder to tag your posts, folks. It's how we filter content on the #fediverse. Just because we follow you doesn't mean we want to see every single one of your thoughts. #MastodonEtiquette #netiquette

Er, should that photo of my elevenses be hidden?

Do companies like @BleepingComputer donate to infosec.exchange @jerry?

I like them and don't care either way; I'm just curious. None of my business is an acceptable answer.

Really my question is, in general, are companies expected to donate to the servers that host them?

#MastodonEtiquette

I'm tempted to "quote post" (link) to noteworthy posts and add my own hashtags to them to try to draw attention to quality posts.

What do you think? Is this a good idea?

A lot of accounts don't add hashtags to their public posts when they are clearly sharing it. Or would this potentially be too intrusive? 🤔

#Question #MastodonEtiquette #Etiquette #Mastodon #MastodonQuestion #Question #Feedback

If I am writing a post and I add in someone’s Mastodon #username like:

@ someone @ somewhere

Would they get something like a ping that they were mentioned in a post?

Like if I had a photo of a really weird bug, I could post publicly and inform someone I know?

Just wondering:
1. How this works technically
2. How this works #etiquette-wise (common sense would be not to abuse or spam this unless you want to get muted or blocked)

#fediverse etiquette question: Is it bad/rude to browse an instance and then follow a bunch of accounts from that instance? Seems like it maybe adds strain to that instance without contributing as much or something
#mastodon #mastodonetiquette

Mastodon regulars: don’t favorite things. It’s useless and doesn’t do anything.

Me: determinedly favoriting everything like a weirdo anyway because I like it
