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.
