Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]

After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]

I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine

I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

JdeB Mastodon Users Manual ;
after a short time out I put my ducks back in a row again.

* MY BEHAVIOR
I mostly read my 'Home' page. That means I only read what those whom I follow 'toot'
I devotedly read the comments on my 'toots' or mentioning of my name in the 'Notifications'.
When on a quest I use the 'Explore' function, mostly on #s and sometimes for @s.
I, almost, never switch to the 'Live feeds'. Too chaotic and rarely interesting for my taste.

* MY 'TOOTS'
1st of all I toot on a few main topics. Primarily about #Climate or #Politics, you won't see toots about my breakfast.
On the first line you will see #s that serve as a title or indication of the topic. Sometimes a certain combination serves to indicate a broader series of topics. There would be more topics on that combination.
I use the # to make a subject better searchable in the explore section. Others can find my toots in between others on the same subject.
I use the @ to give, or ask, special attention from another Mastodon user. And in reactions, of course.
I cannot say enough: I welcome any reaction on my toots ! Although I prefer them to be of the constructive, positive kind. You absolutely don't have to agree with me, but be civil about it. But you don't have to be overly polite: I'm not made out of sugar. ###
I save my toots, and the reactions there upon, on a non-Mastodon archive for personal use. Mastodon addresses will be kept.

*BOOSTING
On Mastodon, boosting a toot serves as a promotion, republishing of that toot. It strongly suggests that you agree and want to 'spread the word'.

* FAVORITE
On Mastodon, favoring is like a compliment: This time it will only be seen by the other user.

*FOLLOW FOLLOWING
I follow, as a standard, those who follow me, that boosted or favored my toots.
And I follow users that sparkled my interest or topics
I try to send a private message, the moment a user follows me, welcoming and inviting them to comment on my toots and read my, pinned, mission statement.
It sometimes happens that I follow someone that did not.

* PRIVATE MENTIONS
I'm not a very private person, on this platform. I'm well aware of the content of my toots, and welcome any disagreement or comment in the open. I can take it.
When I do use a private mention it is out of respect for the recipient. Who can decide for themselves to boost it in the open.

* I ABHOR
Users that promote violence, racism, discrimination or degrading toots. Those will certainly be blocked and/or reported. But in the near two years on this platform that has not been necessary yet.
