@nuxnix #FollowFriday is a thing, tho' not as big a thing as on twt. There are also some really fun hashtags like #WindowFriday #thicktrunktuesday and #mosstodon. You can also follow hashtags here, but just be aware it's not available to add them on all apps. For example, I use Tusky on my phone but have to use my laptop to add hashtags I want to follow.
Show threadahillsDec 16, 2022

@akaBeth10 in case it helps, in Tusky when I tap a hashtag, there's a (sort of confusing) "person with a plus sign" button at the top right, which follows the hashtag.

None of y'all still get it, Elon Musk was born apartheid minded in white supremacist South Africa era, all his outbursts presently isn't surprising especially his seemly lackadaisical support of Donald J.Trump and all his bullshits on redefining freespeech.

South Africa is where Elon Musk past lies and know one cares to dig into it. Maybe his family once own slaves before Nelson Mandela set them free✍️

@AndyLGAtkins The reason to follow them is: if they post good content.
Costs you nothing to follow, and if you don't think they post good content, unfollow.
If you want to check them out before clicking follow, that's fine too, and in your own power to do rather than asking others to do your research for you.

Even if you consider ElonJet to be doxxing, this seems like quite a stretch of Twitter policy: https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/15/twitter-just-banned-a-wave-of-prominent-journalists-with-no-explanation/

I'd say the man with ' power' who didn't like what they said is the one who abused it. Elon takes about free speech but does everything he can to stop any he feels isn't in his ' interest'. He's taking Twitter into the sewer.
