@taylorlorenz all i can offer is excessive poasting for the time being, some people might benefit following my account as i network more
@taylorlorenz this place has been pretty dead since the last apocalypse, tbh. But it has vibes that it’s gonna be bigger and better than ever
@OldTurk @taylorlorenz what was the last apocalypse?
@taylorlorenz Replying to follow this thread -- and also to say, happy to see you on here, Taylor. Huge fan!
@taylorlorenz i'm one of them taylor, i know you don't believe me lol
@taylorlorenz I don't write about tech very much, but I was complaining that Elon Musk's ideas about transportation were drunk already in 2013. https://pedestrianobservations.com/2017/12/15/elon-musks-ideas-about-transportation-are-boring/ (This is 2017 but there's an internal link to my most read post from 2013 in the first graf.)
Elon Musk’s Ideas About Transportation are Boring

@taylorlorenz I don't know about fedi but in my timeline that's for sure some of these: @nolan @cwebber @gudenau @yakkoj

I am a dyspeptic alter kacker with absolutely no credentials, crackpot tendencies, and an axe to grind ( #SeizeTheMeansOfCommunity ).

You should not follow me.

But if I persuade my wife to sign up for a Fediverse account you should follow *her*.

@taylorlorenz I'm gonna help myself of some ppl t follow.
Thank you.

@taylorlorenz

@ntnsndr maybe an interesting person to know.

@groceryheist @taylorlorenz always proud of our amazing CU grads:)
@taylorlorenz Maybe smart people will come to you, and maybe smart people, soi disant, are not always where the story is. Part of the point is that the process at Mastodon is supposed to be a little more organic, right? Before asking about who are smart people to follow, maybe a tech columnist could take a little time to suss out how the platform works so as better to understand and explain its nuances.

@taylorlorenz I think you may want to follow @shanselman and @mfowler

Both are rather #newHere but tech giants who understand things quickly and document their journey.

@taylorlorenz welcome to like 90% of mastodon lol honestly finding accounts that AREN'T tech-focused on here is the challenge.
