@obrhoff I am not really a new user, I just moved my account to mastodon.social. I have a profile picture, but maybe I set this after importing my following list from the old instance.
If you still can‘t see my profile picture, please let me know.
Wie verhält sich das eigentlich mit dem oder den "Folgen". Was wären Social Media ohne Engagement-Symbole. Ist es menschliche Evolution, Eitelkeit oder Hoffnung. Gilt der krude Spruch wie z.b. beim Geld "Um so mehr du danach verlangst, um so schwer wird die Befriedigung"
I think what Aero meant is, Mastodon automatically tries to detect bots, and sometimes we see new profiles being pulled quite soon after they are created.
Ha ha: the Danish airports have attention from Russian UAVs and you are getting harassed by UMAs (unmanned mastodon accounts). #SlavaUkraini and respect to true allies of Ukraine such as #Denmark.
