Haven’t really done a proper first post here so here goes: I’m Scott, mid-thirties #equestrian from #Scotland living and working in the Middle East. Fed up of Twitter and looking for a new social media home 🤗 - hence why I’m now in the fedi!
I should treat #admins not as faceless #moderators but as friendly hosts, and not mess up their place! The #ServerRules are obviously essential, but it's easy to cause problems even if I stay inside the rules.
Blocking trolls works well, but in order to protect my followers I need the admins' involvement. So that adds work for a couple of busy people, which isn't kind.
I thought hard about what I gained from attracting trolls about Pride. I didn't achieve anything much - except this self-examination! The real and useful thing to do is to go to Pride, when it happens, and write about that. That's being a useful #ally to people who matter to me. For that matter, I do useful volunteer work with a #schools#equestrian organisation, so I must write more about that too. Do first, then write.
