We've had more than a few signups recently that mention being invited by a friend.

Unfortunately, they are hard to distinguish from spam.

If you have a friend you would like to invite, please use the invite people function which you can find here: https://socel.net/invites

This will ensure invitees can complete the signup process.

Thanks everyone

A neat feature of the latest Mastodon 3.2.0 release is the ability to add personal notes to profiles.

These can be used for any note such as personal details you'd like to remember, additional info that isn't in their profile, or any bit of text you like.

These notes are only visible to you.

Do you like what someone you follow says but not what they share?

There's an option to hide their boosts in the options menu!

For our new users who may be unfamiliar with how we handle problematic accounts, here is the official policy:

Actions start with the user and escalate from there:

1. Always report problematic toots and accounts

2. Users can also block accounts if they simply wish not to see its toots or interact with the account-holder

3. Users can block entire instances for similar reasons

4. If an instance causes problems for numerous Socel users, then the instance will be blocked at the admin level.
