    Dear Scammers, Spammers, Bots, and Trolls,
    Fuck you. Get off Fedi. No one wants you here.

    Dear Mutual Aid Requesters,
    Don't act like scammers, spammers, or bots—otherwise you get treated like them. Instead, build community and friends here. Contribute positively. Then folx will want to help you.

    Dear Adult Content Posters,
    Don't post other folx' nudes without consent. It makes you look like spammers and bots; and it's considered Image-Based Sexual Abuse, as well as copyright infringement—both of which are illegal. Instead, boost local sexworkers / content creators and post your own stuff. Build something positive.

    Dear Reply Guys, Sea Lions, and Concern Trolls,
    Just stop. Also, you used the wrong *their* again.

    Dear Everyone,
    Be kind. Support marginalized communities. Write good alt-text. Report predatory accounts. And keep being lovely 💞

    Let's keep Fedi from becoming Twitter, together.

    We've got a good thing here.

    This rant brought to you by the spam accounts and bigoted trolls I suspended his morning, and the reply guys and death threats I've received since posting it.

    Edited for inclusivity.

                @alice I will not support this troll hate, they may look weird and scary but they're actually very kind and considerate. They have been great business partners for several years.

                Also they don't really know how to use a computer, so I don't know why you're bringing them up!

                We also accept donations in the form of bowls of milk, we also accept GNOME Pay.

                  @alice To be clear, this is a joke and I don't support trolls. People have thought that jokes that I consider obvious were defending shitty people before.

                    And this incident has made me salty, you know who your are, you acted like this was Twitter and ignored me saying that it was a joke to mock these shitty people.

                            Great post. While we’re at it (as I’ve posted about a few times), make this #fedifirst - As in, post here on Mastodon with your content. Don’t force me to go off-site so that you get ad revenue.

                                  Dear Scammers, Spammers, Bots, and Trolls,
                                  Fuck you. Get off Fedi. No one wants you here.

                                  Dear Mutual Aid Requesters,
                                  Don't act like scammers, spammers, or bots—otherwise you get treated like them. Instead, build community and friends here. Contribute positively. Then folx will want to help you.

                                  Dear Adult Content Posters,
                                  Don't post other folx' nudes without consent. It makes you look like spammers and bots; and it's considered Image-Based Sexual Abuse, as well as copyright infringement—both of which are illegal. Instead, boost local sexworkers / content creators and post your own stuff. Build something positive.

                                  Dear Reply Guys, Sea Lions, and Concern Trolls,
                                  Just stop. Also, you used the wrong *their* again.

                                  Dear Everyone,
                                  Be kind. Support marginalized communities. Write good alt-text. Report predatory accounts. And keep being lovely 💞

                                  Let's keep Fedi from becoming Twitter, together.

                                  We've got a good thing here.

                                  @alice hit the nail on the head for some of the recent(ish) troubling trends I've been encountering here on fedi!

                                    @alice I'm just triggered by the endrant closing without a startrant opening. Feels wrong. Unmatched brackets.
                                    (JOKE))

                                    But i am thinking of starting to filter some of the links to the more annoying ad filled sites.
                                    Oh an bots that repeat the headline text twice and then again in the links preview.

                                      People get to the Fedi from the walled-garden social media platforms of Billionaires. They're used to having their feeds curated by algorithms, which censor them, keep their feeds full of friction-less, flattering posts, calculated to make the platform "sticky", for the sake of corporate bottom-lines. When folks get to the Fedi, they're suddenly rawdogging the planet's voices & are shocked that strangers across the Earth can read their toots, worse — reply to them.

                                        I can't be the only one who had to look up sea lions (searching for it along with "reply guy" got me past the cute mammals). Here you go:

                                        Yay learning! And thanks, Alice, for your championing of the community here in the Fedi!
