Apparently there’s another influx of new folks here, so I guess I should give my best tidbit of advice:

You have to really actively seek out people to follow here, much more than you’re used to — and until you do, this place will feel •dead•. Cool stuff isn’t just going to show up. You won’t get many helpful suggestions. No tech giant marketing dept is spending millions to draw you in. It’s going to be •work•. It’s kind of a drag, tbh.

But: your people are out there!! You just have work to seek them out, one account at a time.

@Paul Cantrell Who likes myriads of dead bodies among their "friends" and "followers" anyway? nothing to boost one's own ego with, and eventually just a common phenomenon AND misconception of commercial social media as well :) enjoy

(your piano sounds great and special btw)
