My suggestion if you want the Fediverse to work, follow and favorite and boost the absolute hell out of people. It’s not about dopamine or clout chasing, it’s about letting people know they’re not just typing into a void.
I appear to be getting a lot of follows as a result of this, this was not my aim and you should follow me at your own risk because I’m boring as hell.
@jsit I don't find you boring and yes, I'm following you. My account offers #USpol as well as many other interests. Yet, I would consider myself boring. 😀
