hi wonderful people

i know a lot of folks are detoxifying and the birdsite incentives sometimes made it seem like only posting your own stuff was wise. Maybe never boosting others over there made sense.

It's different here. Here, #PeopleAreTheAlgorithm

Which means, if you interact with me, and I look at your profile and it's full of yourself. Well...kinda speaks for itself.

Boosting others here helps re-knitting lost and creating new networks of care. Be generous and share your discoveries.

@christina I've said this so many times before, but since discovering Mastodon, I have found the interactions with people, as compared to bird site, feel so much more real, genuine, and human.

Interaction is more meaningful, unlike on bird site (and maybe even IG) where interactions feel more designed to game the algorithm to just tell it you're interacting, but without the substance.
