I love Mastodon because it doesn’t hide my posts from those that choose to follow me— nor does it promote them. It’s fair in a way that Twitter and the others just aren’t. The feedback feels honest and genuine. Mastodon is REAL. So it’s pretty sad to see accounts still playing follow-unfollow ratio games over here. One might even call it “pathetic” or.. “low quality”

@JoParkerBear I'm happy no-algo works for you, and hope it stays the defaul

I'm a native English-speaking Canadian Israeli, living 7 hours offset from the bulk of my professional colleagues. I wish I could *opt in* to an algorithm of my choosing, even write myself, that would let me more easily catch up on posts from the American afternoon and evening.

Edit: I've got lists. I use the multi-column layout. These things don't always help, and it's an a11y issue for cognitive impairments

@bp @johngbell95 @JoParkerBear Following hashtags isn’t same as searching for them. You can follow them like you follow an account. Time of day has nothing to do with it. Cheers.

@PlineyTheNewer @johngbell95 @JoParkerBear It does when the posts I want to read are happening when I'm asleep. Please take a look at my previous posts in this thread. My issue here is catching up to interesting posts from 7 hours behind
