Let's talk moderation tools, #TwitterMigration #NewHere.
You can block and mute, specific accounts or whole instances. You can also mute specific threads/conversations.
Muting means you will not see posts from account or instance, and that a thread/conversation will not show up in your notifications even if you're mentioned.
Blocking does the same, plus the blocked person/instance doesn't get to see your posts either.
Don't be shy, block/mute early and often. It's okay. It's self-care.

This is important!
Fedi is supposed to be a nice and fun place, and if you feel that someone is making it less nice and fun for you, slam that mute or block button like there is no tomorrow.
If I am making you feel uncomfortable, sad, or in any way un-excellent, mute or block me. It's fine, really! Nobody will mind, and if they do, it's their problem.
You can mute/block accounts and instances for specific time or indefinitely. I find muting for a few days very useful, for example.
