Eric BuijsUnlike other social media Mastodon is more about building relationships than getting attention. It's more about having good conversations than following celebrities. So build your relationships carefully and take it slow. It will take time. If you persist it'll be a very fulfilling experience.
Gabriel@ericbuijs This is the key to me. It makes it much more like a tool I can put down (and have on several occasions) than an entire ecosystem that's farming my FOMO to get my participation.
I follow a few people who I've interacted with (however casually) rather than a bunch of corporate accounts that are pushing me a glorified RSS feed.
