Your profile on the Open Social Web looks the same as your profile on Big Tech social platforms, but there's a big difference.

Your profile is no longer a profile on a platform, but an address across a web. You can use it to signal far and wide, across multiple platforms and protocols.

That's why we recommend filling out your profile here carefully, with this in mind.

Oh, my goodness. I boosted @Em0nM4stodon’s post about this earlier. But I need to share it with some intention.

This piece she wrote on Mastodon privacy/security is intense. It’s long. SO much information. Read it anyway. Seriously.

And if y’all don’t follow Em, do yourself a solid and get on that. She’s smart af about InfoSec/privacy/security. And super friendly.

Coucou papa je suis actuellement en train de peter un câble, je voudrais transférer des fichier sur mon disque dur mais il refuse de copier les fichiers qui ont un "?" Dans le nom, or j'ai pas envie de devoir renommer tout ça et en plus j'ai besoin de cette mention, est-ce que les geeks de masto ont une explication et une solution ?

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT GUPPE GROUPS? 🐠

So, if you have a particular interest or hobby, you can follow @[keyword-here]@a.gup.pe to see relevant posts in your Home Timeline.

When you @ mention the group in your post, your post will be shared with everyone in that group.

It's not too different to following a hashtag, but could potentially have a wider reach.

Just discovered an amazing search feature in #mastodon !

Use the field "in:library" to search only in the toots you have interacted with some day.

Using this, I just dug out a toot from an exchange I had in mid-2023 in 1 second, and which was lost among a gazillion of other bookmarks.

Looking for advice from coop housing lovers! 🏘️

Do you know any cooperative housing initiatives in #Rotterdam? Do you know how to start one (is it too utopistic?)

I will be moving there in August/September to attend @xpub 🤩

Considering the current housing crisis, I want to be prepared and to start looking for a place as soon as possible!

Boosts in NL are welcome 💕

Puisqu'on est là : On peut aussi programmer la suppression automatique et régulière des messages plus vieux que : une semaine, un mois, six mois, un an, deux ans, etc. C'est très flexible.

Et si on veut garder certains messages ? On peut configurer des exceptions : garder ceux avec une image, ceux qui ont plus de X repartages, ceux qu'on a mis en favori, ou en marque-page, etc. Là encore, c'est vraiment flexible.

#mastoHelp#mastoTips

On en parle pas assez : Masto a des marque-pages privés. C'est pas des favoris, où les gens peuvent voir qu'on a favé. C'est des marque-pages pour sauvegarder un message silencieusement, et sans qu'il se mélange aux 800 favs qui veulent juste dire "J'ai vu".
