I've noticed that a lot of people on mastodon write really insightful and informative posts and I'm over here posting every random thought that escapes from my head like it's 2003 livejournal which has made me wonder if I’m doing mastodon wrong, so will you please let me know?

@Alice if you're not doing it, I have to do it... Please don't make me. I don't have time 😥
@Bene 😂 Love ya, Benedikt!
@Alice
If somebody doesn’t want what you’re posting but they follow you anyway, then •they’re• doing Mastodon wrong!
This @inthehands fedizen knows how to mastodon. 👏👏👏 👍 @Alice
@Alice LOL, I just post whatever. It's your profile. If people don't like it, they can unfollow or block

@Alice

YOU ARE A TREASURE! I WOULD BE BEREFT IF YOU STOPPED (with the caveat that you still should if you want to but you shouldn't want to).

@Alice I sometimes wonder where the joy in those peoples lives is... All serious and clever and shit.

Do your thing, its your Internets.
@Alice
There are nine and sixty ways
of constructing tribal lays.
And Every Single One is Right!
@Alice it is your feed. You should do exactly, precisely what you want in your feed.

@Alice
Your random thoughts = my joyful breaks from everyday worries.

Keep posting, keep me sane...

@Alice

You're NFM I think.
I do Misskey so hard to tell.
@Alice you’re not posting in third person so you’re doing 2003 live journal wrong.

@Alice

We love you, don't change a thing!❤️

@Alice OH MY GOD!! THIS IS WHY EVERYONE FOLLOWS YOU!! Look at that follower count; it’s an approval rating of your random, anarchic, often filthy, sometimes prosaic output!

Stay who you are!

@Alice I’ve gotten much less thoughtful in the last year.

Insight? In this economy?!?

@faithisleaping Insight? In this economy, with this rejection sensitivity, at this time of our lives, localized entirely within our fedi?
@Alice
@Alice Isn’t that the entire point of Mastodon? To do it wrong?
@Alice Who am I to tell anyone what to do? I post photos of cats.

@Alice You are most certainly NOT holding it wrong. If that's even possible with Mastodon.

And the 50 bazillion other neurodivergents here would agree because, well, they do the same damn thing. Dog bless them.

@lisamelton Thank you, Lisa! This is the kind of reassurance I need!
@Alice @lisamelton I mean have you SEEN my timeline? It’s like if a slow crash made passionate love to a dumpster fire.
@FinalGirl @lisamelton My favorite brand of soft core porn!

@FinalGirl Jay-zus! Your timeline seems thoughtful and carefully planned compared to some of the other people I follow. 🤣

@Alice

@Alice i can totally relate. i post like some or dog chasing a buncha squirrels with shiny collars around their necks. speaking of squirrels...
@Alice There's space for both here! I tend to braindump here too
@Alice We're all doing it wrong. That's the beauty of it.
@Alice slutty mayo at jorts horse here, can confirm mastodon is serious business and you're only allowed to post theses. the original concept was "linkedin but for professionals"
@Alice I WISH I had the creativity and confidence to post like you do. Please keep doing what you do.
@Alice There are no rules. Post what makes you happy but no porn, please. Save that crap for twitter 🤣
@Alice your brand of existing is fun, quirky, interesting, entertaining, refreshing, and oxford commas.
@Alice My account veers wildly between cat pictures, ridiculous memes, and threads from protests outside concentration camps. I make no apology for it. That's life under the Turd Reich.
@Alice You should see my toots! It gets ridiculous! Lolol!
@Alice You are fabs and doing Mastodon great!
@Alice Alice, my entire feed is a collection of random thoughts and occasional photos of my dog. You're good.
@Alice You are keeping the spirit of what I used to love about Twitter alive. Never let that early(er) flame die out

@Alice I have not said it in way too long:

We love you for exactly who you are!

I in particular love your big, shiny brain. There. I said it.

Oh, also, you have a great eye through the camera. 🤗😎

@arisummerland Love you so much, Ari!

@Alice @arisummerland Super sexy brain.

Would have sex with that brain, it’s so sexy.

I want to fuck your brain!

I made it weird now, didn’t I?

@Alice right back at ya, my dear. 😍
@Alice Your posts are always a delight. We need more of that in the world.
@Alice insightful and informative? What are you trying to be, the warning label on my psych meds?
@Alice you say "2003 livejournal" like it's a BAD thing
@Alice I am so rarely sincere on here, and you won’t ever catch me trying to be significant

@Alice

People doing what they do are what makes mastodon cool. Whimsical, silly, bizarre toots are refreshments for the soul.

You're doing it right—or lots of us are doing it wrong.

@Alice you are my emotional support poaster
@Alice I screwed up my vote. You’re one of my favorite reasons for being on Mastodon.
@Alice I recently reread my 2003 LiveJournal. I think you're fine.
@Alice
Keep doing what you're doing. * checks instructions* You're doing it just right. Though I have just realised I don't see enough of your posts...
...
Turns out I'm doing it wrong 😬 by not following you. Shall rectify immediately.

@Alice

Your follower count says it all.

@Alice I don't post shit. I just boost and occasionally reply to other people's stuff. Any original content you post is far above what I'm contributing.
@Alice I routinely think about random stuff you have posted long after I've forgotten what the "insightful" posts were. Turns out, YOU are the insightful shit poster!
