Show HN: Mastodon Quick Start in 280 Characters (Including This Title) https://ift.tt/jqkAGnl
Show HN: Mastodon Quick Start in 280 Characters (Including This Title) Mastodon Quick Start In 280 Characters (Including This Title) 1) Pick a server at https://ift.tt/V7ZuQ1D that admits new users. 2) Register account and confirm email. 3) Search for users or check out the "Trending" tab. 4) Follow and engage with users. Mastodon works like Twitter. ------- The whole guide including the headline are exactly 280 characters long :) The philosophy behind this is that it is more important to seize current ripples in the social media space and get people to check out decentralized social media than it is to have its principles understood. There are risks, but the are low and justified in my opinion. The main thing to avoid in my opinion is to have people unexpectedly loosing their data. Regarding this, I see two these two main risks of this oversimplified approach: Server shutdown: By guiding the users to a server of https://ift.tt/V7ZuQ1D, it is unlikely that the server will shut down without notice. (Note that twitter can cease operation too, although this is more unlikely.) Getting banned: Account can be redirected. (Note that getting an account banned for violating the rules can happen on twitter too.) Feel free to copy, modify and use it however you feel. My hope is to encourage people to check out decentralized social media. December 31, 2022 at 11:49AM
