So, I'm trying this #WoollyWeek stuff and frankly, I don't like it. Not enough interaction on Mastodon for my taste.
@VevaDan So how can we change this?
@Lapizistik Now, this is a good start :-) I should react to others more often too. But I find it hard to find stuff I can react to between all the tech shizzle and languages I don't understand.
@VevaDan A broader topic range would be nice, yes.
On the other hand, if I want to _talk_ to others I tend to switch to Jabber, irc (as chat programs feel somehow more direct and personal).
@VevaDan +1 (now that is some interaction huh!!!)
@wannes HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
@VevaDan mmmmok, not the interaction I was wishing for #flenglish
@wannes Just accept it, ok?
@VevaDan I accept my 87th birthday according to Facebook
@wannes You look quite good for your age.
@VevaDan I'll take it as a compliment
@VevaDan I feel the same
@der_jeff How do we change that?
@VevaDan not sure. I'm on another non-mastodon network which is much more interactive. The problem there is that it's very small and very geeky. I don't mind the geeky bit because I am one, but sometimes I want to talk about other stuff. Or just mess about and have a laugh. It seems like people are taking the "Twitter" attitude here which makes me sad. I'm on twitter as well but haven't logged in for months because it just seems like a hate machine right now.
@der_jeff Oh, I haven't felt a Twitter attitude here yet. Just find it hard to connect with people. The hate you mention, I can't relate. I have a lock on my Twitter and a very good filter 'who to follow'. But I felt like I was staying in my 'internet bubble' and want to break out of it. That's why I love Mastodon. The timeline immediatly gives you interesting folk to read. But also a lot of clutter. I can't see past the clutter yet. And that makes me sad.

@VevaDan
Let me try fixing that for you...

I'm going to turboboost your toot so it bounces around a bit ... ✨

toot ! 🐘

@jansegers Hahaha. How many profiles do you have? :-D
@VevaDan follow more people. Observe other worlds. :)
@VevaDan Maybe you need to follow more active people? I get plenty of interaction here.
@VevaDan I considered it, but I'd miss (keeping up with) my Twitter friends too much, so... Nope.
@emmeke I'm trying it one week and evaluate on Sunday.
