..there seems to still be some resistance from a lot of #Mastodon accounts to #follow people.

I was that way out the chute but once I started #following a lot of people posting a #hashtag I like my experience became much more enriched!

Don't worry about making mistakes.. bulk up, and then feel free to #unfollow accounts not adding anything to your experience. I can tell you personally most of us don't take it personally here.. a lot of us are just trying to find our new tribe!
