New to mastodon, never used Twitter, refuse to use Xitter. Any tips and who and what to follow? And who and what do you follow?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! Iโ€™ll definitely check out the accounts you suggested! Looking through hashtags I like and popular ones sounds like a great addition!

Yeah, I don't like mastodon art moderation either, and I wouldn't recommend signing up there. But that doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of artists there willing to spread their work.

I was a mod when they picked a fight with a "sister" instance from mine. I saw the MO of the adm. But also found that most of the users there were not even aware of what was happening.

Anyway, OP. Follow whoever you want, just be aware that if you cannot follow someone from mastodon art is because they chose to block your server. Is not personal.

Out of all the bad things you can say about Mastodon drama and moderation issues...

It's pretty cool the phrases "don't use this instance" and "follow people on this instance" can coexist.

Because of federation, the admins of an instance besides your own don't even get to peep your IP addresses.
