@Gargron What will you do? And thanks for always being there when I tag you.

@Gargron @stepheneb @LarsFosdal

And to respond to request... I still have to vet. That's the issue. I spend hours vetting, no matter if they're "requests to follow," or just follows.

I used to ignore, but now there are so many, I can't.

@LarsFosdal That would affect my followers. I don’t want these accounts following me.

@Gargron I appreciate that, but it’s getting WAY worse, not better.

There must be a way to key word the account names.

Hey @Gargron, can’t you vet accounts that are clearly bots? I’m blocking hundreds of accounts “___Deals” “CashApps” “GoFundMe” etc accounts, and it’s taking me an hour every damn morning.

Thanks.

@Gargron Sent!

@Gargron I'll email you, yes.

Is anyone having trouble boosting my posts? One person couldn't. And I can't boost someone else's and she can't figure out why.

@Gargron is this part of the glitchiness I'm still experiencing? When I click on "like" it sends me to the reply window. I have to refresh constantly. This is the second or 3rd day now, so wonder if something's up?

I'm using the Mastodon deck interface on Safari browser on a MacBook.

#BREAKING #Biden drops out of race https://trib.al/JMIMRDM

Via Angry Staffer:

This is happening again and a lot of you are falling for it again.

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.

@Gargron Okay done.

Btw, it really seems to get bad whenever I click on a toot to open it in another column to read the thread.

Replying becomes nearly impossible, that's when I refresh.

I'll let you know about the DM elimination. Thanks so much.

@Gargron Oh sorry, I missed that. Yes, will do. @Snowshadow

@Gargron I did try to use it, but it has no DM columns and it's, at least to me, harder to read at a glance (not "TweetDecky" enough). Mastodon's interface is so much better. But thanks.

I'm also using Mastodeck, but it lacks a couple of functions, inexplicably.

So many thanks for trying. Keep me posted if you can.

@Gargron New posts are always appearing in them. Some are slower to do that than others, of course. Home is constant. But the others are less frequent. Some move very slowly.

@Gargron You mean my MacBook? MacBook Air.

@Gargron As I mentioned, it starts nearly immediately.

No, slow mode not enabled.

Columns: 7, including Home, private mentions, and the one that opens up if you click on a toot. I don't even have Local open. I have 3 lists that each have a column, and notifications + Home, DMs, and the one that opens if you hit a toot.

@Gargron After replying to you, I went to "Like" the next toot I got in my notifications column. It wouldn't "take." Instead, when I went to do something else, the cursor turned into a magnifying glass and I couldn't do anything else until I refreshed the page.
