🧦🍲 natalie 🌧️🌱It is deeply funny to me that Mastodon is a place where AI bros cry because they can't get any traction, but a single picture of moss can give anyone, no matter their other content or follower count, positive feedback for the rest of time.
Try it. Post a picture of moss. See what happens.
pro-AI people, stay out of my mentions <3 I don't like you, I don't respect you, and if you try to engage me in a debate, I *will* drag you
same goes for transphobes: fuck off
ahistorical immaterialist@paparatti timeless toot
Kevin Freitas@paparatti Just did :) https://mastodon.social/@KevinFreitas/116359111780893180 Let those bros eat moss!
@KevinFreitas yesssss LET THEM EAT MOSS
mcSlibinas@paparatti @KevinFreitas …just pay before 😎
alanxoc3@KevinFreitas @paparatti what a beautiful piece of moss!
@alanxoc3 @paparatti Thx! And with bonus moss buddies ferns!
Mx. Chara Aznable (they/them) of Pnictogen@paparatti it's the moss echo chamber!! run for your lives!!1!
Jens Finkhäuser@paparatti #mosstodon is a thing.

@paparatti Next time I touch grass - or in this case, moss - I might try it 
Joe@paparatti I've actually been sitting on some (previously unpublished) macro photographs of moss, so lets give this a shot
@hungryjoe hashtag it! It needs the #mosstodon final touch!
@paparatti That wasn't part of your original pitch :P
@hungryjoe that's the part you're supposed to work out by yourself! Everything gets a hashtag, for your own sanity and the good of someone else's organic search.
Kibrika@paparatti @hungryjoe To be fair, if it's a good moss pic, someone will comment that it needs the mosstodon hashtag to let all the other mosspeople check it out. (At least that's what I hope.)
@paparatti I didn't doubt you, but even so, I'm amazed by the magnitude of the effect
@hungryjoe it's so powerful, it's almost a currency
Lea@paparatti
How about a digital block of moss. It is moss, yet it is artificial! What will happen? What would John Mastodon do?
Demosthenes 🛶🐈🐈☕️@leadore @paparatti What would John MOSStodon do?

Bill, organizer of stuff@leadore @paparatti It's technically accurate and has good alt text. Boosted. 👍
there is beauty in simplicity@leadore @paparatti he would surely turn it into carpet
@leadore @paparatti add some bonemeal? 🤔
Dave bauer@paparatti I saw some moss on the dog walk yesterday, and was thinking, hm, I should take a picture of the moss. it's moss season. I neglected to take that photo but I will next time!

Justin@jef @paparatti LichenSubscribe is peak hashtagging.

Adrian@jef @paparatti Thanks! This reminded me of the round patch of orange lichen at the bottom of a wall I had to photograph last week during a trip to Belgium. And the moss strip just over the waterline in the canals of Brugge! Is there some subtle fedi influence going on? I can not remember taking any #lichensubscribe or #Mosstodon pictures before.
EdgeLook at that orange color!
spiegelmama@jef @paparatti Life ... finds a way.
Beautiful patterns!
MinmiTheDinoCan’t get engagement on your posts bro? Idk I don’t have that problem, must be a you thing
(Posts desperate pleas for help about my garden)
Catherine is not complacent@paparatti a cat on moss would cause riots.
Paradoxon
Franchesca@Pedi @paparatti damn, I came here to make that joke but you beat me to it 😅
Yaiaou@paparatti You know you could just ask if you were in need of new moss pictures 😁
indi 🪡@paparatti ok, done.
Freya Arson@paparatti Due to a conversation I had the other day, I feel compelled to share a random photo (not mine) of Moss, Norway
@freya yet another perfect example of moss! Thank you!
@paparatti Happy to help 
Rachel
Marcelo Magallon@paparatti are you trying to say that what people like in these pictures is the moss?
Lysdexic
john fink ok!! :goat:@lysdexic @paparatti man that's good moss
FJ Brodie
Mar@paparatti I think that even conversations about liking moss will give you traction 😀
aburtch@paparatti @BlippyTheWonderSlug Oh yeah, some of my old #DogsOfMastodon posts still get a second (third, fourth, fifth) wind even after a month of inactivity.
Fritz leck Eier 🎗️@paparatti The fediverse is good. That's why it will pass. Nothing good stays. Everything good goes away eventually.
Nelson@paparatti Don't jinx it, they'll just spam AI-generated slop images of moss until people give up on following mosstodon
emilia@skyfaller @paparatti I have some hope that our federated moderation practices would make something like that a lot harder to pull off than on a centralized platform.
Brett Edmond Carlock@Brett_E_Carlock @paparatti What's the windturbine hashtag?
@kibrika
Seems to be #windturbines, but rather empty.
I also didn't tag my image subjects, so they don't show there, haha
