Does Bluesky have an algorithm?
Does it have advertising?

Is there any advantage to having an account there?

Opinions from queer, disabled, trans, Indigenous people super welcome (thanks!)

Is there a way to post something public but not allow replies?

How do you do that tricksty thing that gets someone to not follow you anymore?

[I have the answer, thank you! It's soft blocking, where you block/unblock someone to break the follow]

I can't join in with #Monsterdon today, but would like to in the future.

Is there something I should be following/watching to know what films are up, what dates and times they're being watched?

Can I add words to my filter thing on the mastodon app, or is it a computer thing?

Because I can't seem to find out where it happens.

What browser do people suggest?

Now that Google is doing so much more of the tracking thing, what browsers are best to use to cut down on surveillance?

I'm not tech savvy but would like to opt out of surveillance capitalism as much as I can - so help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking of starting to post pictures and recipes for the things I make.

I'm not a great cook.. I do have a few things I cook that I'm good at, and that are more simple to make than they look. I do bake fairly well, though.

I have some questions about posting though:

1. Aside from CW them are there any other ways to make pictures and posts about food easier to navigate for people who might not want to see them?

2. Are there specific hashtags people prefer used?

3. Are there other things I should be aware of?

Why does my mastodon look different.

I don't like this at all!

Is there a way to block everyone from a specific instance from seeing my posts without it also blocking the people from that instance I follow or who follow me?

Is there a way to get someone to unfollow you here?
