FYI for newbies
Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.

the days of usenet, irc, the web...even email (w PGP)...were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet.
I realize I'm partially to blame, and regret it.
We need to know which platform to prioritize for the upcoming beta release.
Should we release on Android or iOS first?
Boosts appreciated! #pixelfed #mobileApp #android #ios #fediverse

in my opinion, that means having open source products and having products that put the human (and their rights) first
