What are you going on about?
Nobody in this thread has said “not all men”.
The top comment said “can people just not suck”, then OP responded saying “actually, in this case, only men suck”.

Men are people too, so “can people not be terrible” is still accurate…
Unsure if your asking seriously (if not, whooosh to me), but it’s an open source alternative to Plex.
Plex is a media server that you run to host your TV shows and movies. Think of a self-hosted Netflix.
Right. I personally struggle with a lot of the “terms” these days - not because I think they are wrong, only because I don’t always understand what they mean.
On Reddit, when I saw them used, I would ask for clarification and I’d learn something.
Being dismissive to people trying to learn isn’t going to bring them into the ally space.
So somebody wanted to broaden their understanding by asking a simple question and you decided to be a dick?
Maybe they didn’t have time to read the article and thought somebody would help.
This could have just as easily been on the dadjokes community.
I didn’t know I needed this word, but I definitely do.
I did end up creating an account, but I’m not sure about posting my handle here as I want to keep the things separate (especially as I’m using my name on mastodon).
Aha! Sounds like we just have different definitions of “content creator”, that just sounds like a normal account to me.
This was probably just me confusing things =]. I used to post all my blog posts etc on Twitter, but I have no intention of doing that on Mastodon. I didn’t spend enough time ensuring there was a distinction between the two platforms.
Fyi it’s also a custom to make an intro post when you join, tag it with #introduction and just let people know what to expect from your account. Load it up with the relevant tags so people watching them find your account, it’s usually a good way to kick things off and get some initial followers.
Ah ok, thanks! I have already started posting but I’ll do that anyway. Thanks :)
I’m not interested in promoting or advertising. The vast majority of my tweets where just sharing random things I came across while working, or reminders when I encounter gotchas (e.g. slices as function parameters in Go).
Being completely honest, not overly interested in meeting people either. I’ll give it a few months and see how it goes :)
Awesome, thanks! That’s really helpful.
Makes sense, thanks.
Having a homelab myself and running quite a few services I’m still so iffy on allowing anything out on the wider web in such a public way.
Yeah, this would be the first that would be so openly accessible (I do host other things but they are severely locked down). That’s why, if I do it, I’ll create another VLAN, with zero access to my network/other VLANs.
That’s why I was asking about disk space, as I wouldn’t connect it to my NAS. If I do it, I’ll probably do it on dedicated hardware with it’s own drive.
Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks, appreciate it.
Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!
Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?
I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.
I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.
