Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months (if that) on Mastodon, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".

It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

Here's a simple experiment in drawing a human face as 100% monochrome #ANSIArt featuring nothing but text characters, as well as literal text via free verse I wrote off the cuff to go with it. :)

The needs of the long outweigh the needs of the prosper.

This #ANSIArt image of a pensive dog woman in exercise clothes waiting for her train started as a character drawing on a friend's suggestion and turned into an experiment in drawing a character in a setting under the limits of a VGA 16-color text mode and small picture size. I'm proud of how this one came out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)
