 ## Intro
 
-Mastodon is a social network application based on the GNU Social protocol. It behaves a lot like other social networks, especially Twitter, with one key difference - it is open-source and anyone can start their own server (also called an "*instance*"), and users of any instance can interact freely with those of other instances (called "*federation*"). Thus, it is possible for small communities to set up their own servers to use amongst themselves while also allowing interaction with other communities.
+Mastodon is a social network application based on the OStatus protocol. It behaves a lot like other social networks, especially Twitter, with one key difference - it is open-source and anyone can start their own server (also called an "*instance*"), and users of any instance can interact freely with those of other instances (called "*federation*"). Thus, it is possible for small communities to set up their own servers to use amongst themselves while also allowing interaction with other communities.
 
 #### Decentralization and Federation
 
 Mastodon is a system decentralized through a concept called "*federation*" - rather than depending on a single person or organization to run its infrastructure, anyone can download and run the software and run their own server. Federation means different Mastodon servers can interact with each other seamlessly, similar to e.g. e-mail.
 
-As such, anyone can download Mastodon and e.g. run it for a small community of people, but any user registered on that instance can follow and send and read posts from other Mastodon instances (as well as servers running other GNU Social-compatible services). This means that not only is users' data not inherently owned by a company with an interest in selling it to advertisers, but also that if any given server shuts down its users can set up a new one or migrate to another instance, rather than the entire service being lost.
+As such, anyone can download Mastodon and e.g. run it for a small community of people, but any user registered on that instance can follow, send, and read posts from other Mastodon instances (as well as servers running other OStatus-compatible services, such as GNU Social and postActiv). This means that not only is users' data not inherently owned by a company with an interest in selling it to advertisers, but also that if any given server shuts down its users can set up a new one or migrate to another instance, rather than the entire service being lost.
 
 Within each Mastodon instance, usernames just appear as `@username`, similar to other services such as Twitter. Users from other instances appear, and can be searched for and followed, as `@user@servername.ext` - so e.g. `@gargron` on the `mastodon.social` instance can be followed from other instances as `@gargron@mastodon.social`).
 
-Posts from users on external instances are "*federated*" into the local one, i.e. if `user1@mastodon1` follows `user2@gnusocial2`, any posts `user2@gnusocial2` makes appear in both `user1@mastodon`'s Home feed and the public timeline on the `mastodon1` server. Mastodon server administrators have some control over this and can exclude users' posts from appearing on the public timeline; post privacy settings from users on Mastodon instances also affect this, see below in the [Toot Privacy](User-guide.md#toot-privacy) section.

 ##### Hashtags
 
-If you're making a post belonging to a wider subject, it might be worth adding a "hashtag" to it.

This allows users to group messages of similar subjects together, forming a separate "timeline" for people interested in that subject.

This allows users to group messages of similar subjects together, forming a separate "timeline" for people interested in that subject.

 ##### Boosts and Favourites
 
 You can *favourite* another user's toot by clicking the star icon underneath. This will send the user a notification that you have marked their post as a favourite; the meaning of this varies widely by context from a general "I'm listening" to signalling agreement or offering support for the ideas expressed.
 
-Additionally you can *boost* toots by clicking the "circular arrows" icon. Boosting a toot will show it on your profile timeline and make it appear to all your followers, even if they aren't following the user who made the original post.

-#### The Federated Timeline
+#### The Public Timelines
 
-Mastodon has a "Federated" timeline, which is a collection of all public toots made by all local users as well as posts from remote users that are federated (because someone on your instance follows the remote user making the post). This is a good way to meet new people to follow or interact with, but can be overwhelming especially if there's a lot of activity.
+In addition to your Home timeline, there are two public timelines available. The Federated Timeline and the Local Timeline. These are both a good way to meet new people to follow or interact with.
+
+##### The Federated Timeline
+
+The Federated Timeline shows all public posts from all users "known" to your instance. This means the user is either on the same instance as you, or somebody on your instance follows that user. The Federated Timeline is a great way to engage in the broad chatter of the world. Following users on remote instances who you meet on the Federated Timeline can lead to meeting more users on more instances and further connecting your instance to more and more of the entire Mastodon and OStatus network.
 
 ![Federated Timeline icon](screenshots/federated-timeline.png) To view the federated timeline, click the "Federated Timeline" icon in your Compose column or the respective button on the Getting Started panel. To hide the federated timeline again, simply click the "Back" link at the top of the column while you're viewing it.
 
 #### The Local Timeline
 
-In addition to the Federated Timeline, there's also a "Local" timeline, which only shows public toots made by users on your home instance. This is quieter than the Federated timeline, and useful if you want to stick close to your instance's community without having too much noise from outside. To view the Local Timeline, click the ![Menu icon](screenshots/compose-menu.png) Menu icon on the Compose pane and then select "Local Timeline" on the rightmost column.
+The Local Timeline only shows public posts made by users on your home instance. This can be useful if your instance has particular community norms that users on other instances may not have, such as particular topics that get put under content warnings; or particular in-jokes and shared interests. To view the Local Timeline, click the ![Menu icon](screenshots/compose-menu.png) Menu icon on the Compose pane and then select "Local Timeline" on the rightmost column.
 
 #### Searching
 
-Mastodon has a search function - however, this is limited to users and [hashtags](User-guide.md#hashtags) only and cannot be used to search through the full text of toots. In order to start a search, just type into the search box in the Compose column; Mastodon will automatically start showing suggestions of both user names and hashtags in a pop-up after a moment. Selecting any of these will open the user's profile or a view of all toots on the hashtag.

 #### Toot Privacy
 
-Toot privacy is handled independently of account privacy, and individually for each toot. The three tiers of visibility for toots are Public (default), Unlisted or Private. In order to select your privacy level, click the ![Globe icon](screenshots/compose-privacy.png) globe icon. Changes to this setting are remembered between posts, i.e. if you make one private toot you will need to disable the switch again to make public toots.
+Toot privacy is handled independently of account privacy, and individually for each toot. The four tiers of visibility for toots are Public (default), Unlisted, Private, and Direct. In order to select your privacy level, click the ![Globe icon](screenshots/compose-privacy.png) globe icon. Changes to this setting are remembered between posts, i.e. if you make one private toot, each toot you make will be private until you change it back to public. You can change your default post privacy under preferences.
 
-**Public** is the default status of toots on accounts not set to private; a toot is public if neither of the two flags are set. Public toots are visible to any other user on the public timeline, federate to other GNU Social instances without restriction and appear on your user profile page to anyone including search engine bots and visitors who aren't logged into a Mastodon account.

-**Unlisted** toots are toggled with the "Do not display in public timeline" option in the Compose pane. They are visible to anyone following you and appear on your profile page to the public even without a Mastodon login, but do *not* appear to anyone viewing the Public Timeline while logged into Mastodon.
+**Unlisted** toots are public, except that they do not appear in the public timelines or search results. They are visible to anyone following you and appear on your profile page to the public even without a Mastodon login. Other than not appearing in the public timelines or search results, they function identically to public posts.
 
-**Private** toots, finally, are toggled with the "Mark as private" switch. Private toots do not appear in the public timeline nor on your profile page to anyone viewing it unless they are on your Followers list. This means the option is of very limited use if your account is not also set to be private (as anyone can follow you without confirmation and thus see your private toots). However the separation of this means that if you *do* set your entire account to private, you can switch this option off on a toot to make unlisted or even public toots from your otherwise private account. Private posts are not encrypted. Make sure you trust your instance admin not to just read your private posts on the back-end.

+Private toots do not federate to other instances, unless you @mention a remote user. In this case, they will federate to their instance, and users on that instance who follow both you and the @mentioned user will see it in their Home timelines. There is no reliable way to check if an instance will actually respect post privacy. Non-Mastodon servers, such as a GNU Social server, do not support Mastodon privacy settings. A user on GNU Social who you @mention in a private post would not even be aware that the post is intended to be private and would be able to boost it, which would undo the privacy setting. There is also no way to guarantee that someone could not just modify the code on their particular Mastodon instance to not respect private post restrictions. A warning will be displayed if you're composing a private toot that will federate to another instance. You should thus think through how much you trust the user you are @mentioning and the instance they are on.

+Private posts are not encrypted. Make sure you trust your instance admin not to just read your private posts on the back-end. Do not say anything you would not want potentially intercepted.

 **Direct** posts are only visible to users you have @mentioned in them and cannot be boosted. Like with private posts, you should be mindful that the remote instance may not respect this protocol. If you are discussing a sensitive matter you should move the conversation off of Mastodon.
