* report bad instances to the FediBlock hashtag
* research which instance best fits you and migrate away from mastodon.social
* wear a mask in public
* don't go to work sick
* vaccinate
* help me out with my bills (I pay 5€ a day for supplements excluding medication, because of a PAIS [post accute infectious syndrome like post covid, mecfs or whatever] - my health bills alone exceed my income)
* spread empathy, not hate
* use your brain, not a billionaire-funded neuronal network
* teach your kids cooperation instead of competition
* be kind to yourself and others
* don't judge yourself if you can't support me with all or any of these points
Thank you for your support!
