Ya wanna change the world, but you need to do something that is cheap and fast and risk-free.
No problem.
Start here, now, on mastodon.
Write a simple public message to someone here -- not me, please, i'm well-supported -- whose output here improves your life.
Don't star. Don't boost. *Tell* them. Use your words, honey. A single sentence will do the trick.
Takes one minute. Costs nothing. Risks nothing.
Just tell them.
To you, it's miniscule, useless, trivial.
To them, it's *juice*.
@GeePawHill On that basis, here's to @yogthos, @cemerick, @mark_engelberg, @borkdude who, among others, wrote the tools which made the closing years of my software career a lot more enjoyable.
@tyil Interesting. So you've assumed my *intent* in using the word "mastodon", you've assumed my *ignorance* in using the word "mastodon", and you've "used your words" not to tell someone whose work you value that you value it, but to tell a stranger on the internet that you know more than they do.
Nice.
Buh-byeeeee!
@GeePawHill I didn't assume anything, I see you actively pretending Mastodon is the entire Fediverse. Which is wrong.
tell a stranger on the internet that you know more than they do.Telling someone who knows less than you that they're wrong, and explaining how they're wrong, is called "teaching". Through teaching, you can learn. Learning is, generally, considered a good thing, as it expands your mind and your ability to be a better person.
