Worth noting: if you like something you read online that was written by a human, SHARE IT.

That's the best way to fight back if you hate the way our digital overlords are ruining discovery & overloading everything with AI-generated bullshit.

Also: do not think that your followers will abandon you if you share good things. From experience, I assure you that sharing good things INCREASES your social capital and BUILDS your follower count and loyalty. Cast your bread upon the digital water, etc.

@gregpak One issue is I hesitate to plug anything even if it is human made, because of weird issues with self promotion on mastodon.

I got to wonder if Mastodon socials thing about self promotion is intentional?

@LWFlouisa I don't worry about it. I figure if people are following me, they wanna hear about my stuff & the stuff I like, and they can unfollow if they don't, totally cool.
