From my newbie experience on Mastodon: I opened new tabs for accounts that engaged with me, so that I could go through each individually, without skipping back and forth or missing someone accidentally. Very soon I got informed that I exceeded the limit of how many pages I could open, and I couldn't do anything else either. I'm now sitting quietly, hoping I didn't anger some Mastodon spirits with my tab-opening system and won't face harsher restrictions.
