🧦🍲 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Joe@paparatti I've actually been sitting on some (previously unpublished) macro photographs of moss, so lets give this a shot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 😅
ramblingsteve@Pedi the one true moss.
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.
Kai und der Andere 🎗️@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.
Darren@paparatti - I was talking with an #instagram friend about some irritating reply on Mastodon from the other day and they said "Oh, you need to give the algorithm feedback if you don't want to see that type of thing" and I just said ... there is no algorithm.. and you could see the mixed look of awe and horror at the thought. #mastodon
Kurt Kettler@dplattsf @paparatti Oh, there is, dear.
