A friend of mine posted about algorithms and how they feed garbage to users of certain social media sites. Here's my response:

I see people who have left Twitter join Mastodon, then they do one or two posts, don’t follow anyone, and then give up. Like, hey, sorry pal… this is work. You gotta put in some effort to find people to follow, and to actually engage. You are not just a consumer anymore, you are a participant. So get going! Do something or nothing will happen.

@rasterweb Algorithms don't automatically mean garbage.. bad algorithms do.

It would be nice if Mast had more of a means to help in the search.. because its not just 'work' and this place turns good. You have to be good at it & a lot of good creative ppl just don't have that time on top of posting to the pile of other social media that IS willing to provide that help. ..often at the cost of the garbage unfortunately.
