You want to improve the atmosphere and conversational #tone in the #fediverse? Forget trigger / content warnings, blocking and muting, and start reflecting on why you still subscribe to the people from whom you receive such content in your timeline. "Social" is a social thing, not a technical one. It doesn't need "tech fixes" but reflection, manners, courtesy, solidarity. Now you know. -

Thank you. Irrespective whether this gets resolved quickly or not, informing people and giving them a choice is a valuable and kind thing to do. -

Another follow-up:
Instead of blocking and muting accounts, contemplate whom you subscribe to. If those people interact with unpleasant stuff or people and these things turn up in your timeline, think about why you still keep them in your subscription list.
In my experience it's one's subscription list that flushes in content and people you don't want to see. Concentrate on a few but reasonable and kind people, and chances are you escape most of the unpleasant stuff. Simply because these people don't engage with such awfulness either. -

I'm glad that gnusocial only badly interoperates with the Mastodon network. The tone over there is often so unpleasant that I simply enjoy the niche that gnusocial and its instances carve out.

Well, nothing really changed since 2016 when @hannes2peer from Quitter first got giddy about blocking all he didn't agree with. So it's an old story, resurfacing from time to time, in various guises. But the separation of the fediverse in mutual exclusive sub-diverses was apparent even then. This is what we get when the bawling of practical constraints enters the mind of admins, moderators, developers. In fact, they're in search of The Silo they can own. All little Elon Musks, I suppose, but without the money and the influence. -

A sequel to the rant above:
If you are new "here" – it's not a "here" because it is no place, and it is not a "here" because the differences between Twitter and the fediverse are negligible – don't look for an instance that fits your "interests". With that attitude you reiterate the silo you're coming from.
Instead of selecting an instance according to interests or topics, select them according to the tools and possibilities they provide.
If you want content warnings, go to Mastodon. If you need to be able to block and mute other people by yourself, choose a Mastodon instance, not a gnusocial instance. If you want to write longer notices, look for instances that allow for a higher character-number than the usual 500 that Mastodon instances provide. Etc., etc.
Which, on the other hand, means: People in the #fediverse did a terrible job preparing for the arrival of people moving from Twitter to the fediverse (as always).
They either provided lists of topical servers https://joinmastodon.org/en/servers or came up with tech criteria like protocols https://fediverse.party/en/tools/ that are way too advanced for the clicky-layperson.
What we should have done (and should have provided) is an overview and summary (two different things!) of the features between which new users may want to choose.
Remember: Instances are not gated communities (topics) but doors into conversations (tools). The latter requires a different approach and attitude. -

Watching the increasing blocking of instances by their admins without people even having a say in it – do you really believe you are any better than Elon Musk? And you, users of blocking instances, do you really think you're better off than on Twitter?
This is the #fediverse, for Christ sake, so stop behaving like children running to their older brothers to beat up the obnoxious kid that is chasing them through the hood.
And secondly, if you really need "content warnings" in your neurotic desire to prolong (or recreate) a pampered childhood, then you are at the wrong place. The fediverse is about reality, not your blaring need for protection which, to be established, puts the onus on others to make you feel a bit better. Just stop behaving like a spoiled brat with entitlement attitude, and perhaps everybody may get along a little bit better.
Or more bluntly: Please consider moving back to Twitter or the other platforms you used to frequent. You negatively impact the atmosphere in the fediverse, not just in the Mastodon network.
(Just thinking that these people are allowed to *vote* makes me want to through up. Perhaps instances should establish some age-confirmation in the process of sign-up: "I'm older than 18 years and I won't run to an admin when I feel offended by something." Gosh!) -

Matt von Hippel, "Crucial Computer Program for Particle Physics at Risk of Obsolescence" https://www.quantamagazine.org/crucial-computer-program-for-particle-physics-at-risk-of-obsolescence-20221201/
« [I]f you want to solve the biggest equations in the world, for 33 years one program has stood out: FORM.
Developed by the Dutch particle physicist Jos Vermaseren, FORM is a key part of the infrastructure of particle physics, necessary for the hardest calculations. However, as with surprisingly many essential pieces of digital infrastructure, FORM’s maintenance rests largely on one person: Vermaseren himself. And at 73, Vermaseren has begun to step back from FORM development. Due to the incentive structure of academia, which prizes published papers, not software tools, no successor has emerged. If the situation does not change, particle physics may be forced to slow down dramatically. »
