I don't want to sound unfriendly or unapproachable, but we're living in very different, even dangerous times.
If you want to attract #followers & you've had an #account for several years but have < 10 followers, you only follow a couple of accounts & you've posted nothing original, you really need to add something personal in your #profile & add a #photo of some sort besides the mastodon logo.
I often post controversial content that's not for everyone.
I don't follow mystery accounts.
