Hey fellow mastodon n00bs!

You may have heard there's no algorithm here. Yes there's no a centrally managed algorithm. BUT:

There *is* an algorithm. It's a function of chronology, your individual following and filtering decisions, and - this part's important - the collective behavior of your first-degree network.

That means YOU are part of EVERYONE ELSE's "algorithm."

Please:
* Boost good stuff
* Set replies "unlisted"
* Use CWs for anything others might want to choose to see or not

@sanjaysrivastava I think I agree fully with your points; the only one I'm confused on is "Set replies 'unlisted'" -- I know that I could go elsewhere to research that info, but conversation is what we're here for, right?

...when both parties want it and respect each others wishes!
(I just made my first Block of someone on this site based on an attitude that I saw as unsurmountable and argumentative for no good reason.)
