Any advice from experienced mastodon users on how to make the experience more interactive? I miss DMs, threads and the general back and forth I am used to with the bird site. Thanks! #mastodonadvice

I recently discovered this divide between chemistry and astronomy and had to make the meme.

Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, Musk was at “peak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of “100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.

Musk did not take the news well.

“You’re fired,” Musk told the engineer.

As per that last boost about authors and social media: It's a really insidious thing that's been happening for the past dozen years or so. Publishers have been pushing authors to market themselves on social media, and to build a community of readers, and most of us did. One by one, platforms have made it harder and harder to connect with our audience. So now, when most marketing is done via social media, social media is crumbling. Share what you love. Authors really need it.

Not to brag, but I was spewing out hilariously incorrect information before huge tech companies decided to create AI chatbots and ruin the internet.
