#FollowFriday

In my three weeks of being a self-appointed Walmart greeter here on #Mastodon, I've noticed people looking for a connection. Just someone to follow them.

So I follow them. Why? Because it costs me nothing, other than time to say hello and click the "+" button.

Many of these folks are shy. Often they're not big posters anyway. So they're not crowding my Home timeline.

And when they do post?  So cool. And I think, "There's my new friend! I wonder what they have to say?"

@donmelton I'm working on "object permanence" here in starting to recognize the name of people, more than once.

Eventually I'll think, "I've seen this person's name's in the replies before, I know them." Not there yet. But working on it.

Past age of 73, object permanence becomes a labile state, as in: where's the key, that's the wrong key, aaaah my coffee is here somewhere. 🤷 @donmelton

@LeslieVS1965 LOL! I can tell you that at age 65 it's already happened to me. 😆
