  • Been using Mastodon a while. Once you hit critical mass of people you follow you just sort of find new ones.

    If someone you enjoy reading boosts something someone else has said you go off and probably end up following them too.

    With Mastodon you have to be a bit more pro active about building (and pruning) your social network but I’ve found it worthwhile.










  • This is actually due to the way these platforms work. When a user comments on a comment or post on their instance it will be shown on their instance. It’s then sent on to the owning instance of that comment or post. That owning instance then forwards it on to all interested parties (magazine instance, commenters instance).

    Any instance in that chain can refuse to forward or broadcast that message due to a block, but the users own instance will likely always show that post. Ideally they would not do that and would be made aware of a block but that is a bit of a grey area in ActivityPub implementations.
