  • I have a Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, and a PieFed instance. I’m an Admin.

    Let me make sure I understand. You are asking whether I would care if you were using my server, and you asked a different server Admin to remove your data from their server (and probably ban you on that server)?

    If this is what you are asking, I personally wouldn’t give it any thought. It’s your data. If you don’t want it on some other server, then you certainly have that right. I frankly don’t think any Admin would have a problem with this. Even the opposite would be fine. If someone asked me to remove their data that came in remotely.

    I might even be impressed that you are enforcing and thinking about your rights to privacy and your right to control your own data.



  • You have to use hashtags on Mastodon if you want your messages to be seen because there is no AI to fill timelines. People follow hashtags and search for them. Then you’ll get likes and boosts.

    And, you control your own timeline by following hashtags, following people, and searching for hashtags. This way, unlike Twitter, your timeline only has posts that you are interested in. Once you get this set up, it’s quite nice to only see posts that you like reading, without advertising and without posts meant to enrage you.

    Also you can use https://fedi.directory to find great people to follow.
