This is your reminder...

There is no algorithm that brings posts to your timeline. The only posts you will see under your Home tab will be either people that you follow, or the boosts from people that you follow.

BOOSTING IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF MASTODON.

If you read something that is interesting, funny, thought provoking, news worthy, or beautiful, then BOOST IT.

Hitting "Favorite" lets the poster know that you liked it BUT IT DOESN'T LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW.

Keep Mastodon alive. BOOST.

@Gargron Nail grinders work well for this too.

@pixelfed Is it to much to ask WHEN these things will be available?

@Gargron ah c'mon! You can do it! Cameras have timers don't they?!?!

@Gargron When are we going to get a silhouetted picture of you and your wife walking down the street with the Mastodon plushie being held between the two of you?

@pixelfed @loops Just filled it out. I’m excited for this.

@pixelfed Okay....

NOW you have my attention.

@pixelfed This is only for android correct?

@pixelfed I'm glad it was nothing overly dramatic, but why jump to Discord? Why not just create your own channel on Matrix?

@pixelfed What happened? You can’t dump this on us without the story! Cmon!

You ever write a long post and after you've finished you delete it because you suddenly realize that you just don't give a fuck as much as you thought you did?

@Mastodon Elephant??? What elephant??? All I see is a MAJESTIC MASTODON!!!

Damn!

@peertube with no hesitation dropped a truth bomb today...

"The realization that led us to develop PeerTube is that no one can rival YouTube or Twitch. You would need Google’s money, Amazon servers’ farms... Above all, you would need the greed to exploit millions of creators and videomakers, groom them into formatting their content to your needs, and feed them the crumbs of the wealth you gain by farming their audience into data livestock."

@pixelfed re-join how? Don't I need a link? I've left the old build, now what? The directions say I need a link to redeem.

@pixelfed don't tell Threads about this!

And now I wait for all of the hate.

People act like Gmail came in and afterwards there were no more email providers. Did a lot of people use it? Yes. Did it somehow kill off all off the small email providers? No. Some of them? Sure. All? No.

Why did I switch from Gmail to Proton? Because I stopped trusting Gmail. And felt that I could trust Proton more. Can I still email someone that uses Gmail? Yes. Do I have to support Gmail? No.

The purpose of an open protocol is choice. Otherwise why bother making it open?
