Interesting: I just tried following someone on mastodon.ie with an unlocked account and it got turned into a follow request.
Has mastodon.ie silenced me?
If so, I’d like to know why.

PS. This won’t affect you if you’re already following me. It will mean my posts would get hidden from the public timeline and wouldn’t show up in trending posts, etc., on your instance. Hence “silenced.”
Are you ready for some more useful tips to make the most out of your Mastodon journey? Here we go:
• Consider adding #AltText to images you post. Not only is it good for SEO, it's also considerate to visually impaired users. To add alt text, just click on 'Edit' after attaching an image to your post and write a brief description in the 'Describe for the visually impaired' field.
• Be mindful of the different #cultures on Mastodon. With a vast global community, it's always a good practice to be respectful of different customs, languages, and traditions.
• Get to know your server's #moderators and their policies. They're there to ensure a safe and harmonious experience for all users. In case of any trouble or queries, don't hesitate to reach out to them.
• In Mastodon, you can create #lists to better organize the content you follow. It's a great way to categorize and filter your feed, helping you stay on top of topics you're most interested in.
• Remember, #silencing or #suspending an account or server is always an option if you find content disturbing or inappropriate. You have control over your Fediverse experience.
Together, we're making the Fediverse a better place. Stay tuned for more tips!
@AmiW Weil es noch immerf und wieder Deutsche gibt, die Nazis sind. Bis Deutsche die Lektion gelernt haben, ist die deutsche Gesellschaft verdammt, die Geschichte zu wiederholen.
"Expressions of #fragility expose a calculated, purposeful strategy of insisting on the status of victim when confronted."
The indignation uses the loss of the prerogative, only and always, to be the one who transgresses the boundaries of others, but never to be in the position of having one’s own boundaries transgressed.
