@TrueBlue4THREE @ChiaChatter I'm not active on social media and I guess I am one of the small accounts that rarely if ever replies. As an introvert I am much more comfortable to sit back and let the talkative individuals share. That does not mean I am stuck up, aloof or not interested. In fact I am thoughtful, probably carefully considering what is bring said and will chime in if I feel there is an opening. (There often isn't - extroverts can change the subject 3 times before I feel there as an opening to talk in).

The online world is similar. Why am I here? To listen to peoples opinions on topics I am interested in, whether I agree with them or not. To follow people I am genuinely interested in (and occasionally pray for even if I have never met them). To watch what is going on - it's kind of like going to the mall to people watch, but online instead. Also to connect with people in the real world. Yes I have actually had a phone or video call with people I met here on Mastodon. Some very nice people I might add.

I am not a fan of the big "social media" sites like X, Facebook, Instagram etc. While I do have accounts on them I do not monitor them and I find the sites very toxic. I find the little corner of Mastodon I am in to be very nice, friendly and open. It's really refreshing in an increasingly toxic world.

MY 2 cents. I hope it helps give you a little insight into the small seemingly inactive accounts.

#SocialMedia isn't "social" sometimes ... There are large accts who reply regularly when U try to offer a witty comment, a sincere compliment about their posts. Then there are small accts who rarely, if ever reply to U. When people don't take time/make effort to reciprocate conversation Here ... I imagine talking to That person face to face and they either just stare at me or simply walk away.

What gives? 🤔 Why be on social media if U don't want to be #sociable ~if even a little.

#JustSaying 💁‍♀️

Hoy es mi #cumpleanos y he recibido muchas #llamadas y #mensajes de felicitaciones. Está guay que se acuerden de mí pero no sé... No soy muy #sociable y sinceramente no me gusta que me feliciten el cumpleaños. Así que estoy algo cansado de responder. Creo que dejaré el #movil en silencio el resto del día
Per molt #sociable que sigues, arribe ua #edat en qué t'estimes mès non convidar a #gent tà casa entà non auer de limpiar despús.
Update: still at the rink. Heading to the Patch. #scotties2024 #sociable

#agile #game development with #python #pygame:

We work on adding multiplayer support to the balloon shooter. In the process we see examples of overlapping #sociable #testing and also reflect a bit on the agile concept of #stories.

The end result makes me want to go play the game every now and then.

The new cats are settling in. One greeted me this morning and fuzzed my leg many times.. something my daugther's previous cat never did. I like cats that greet and fuzz legs. #sociable
