Found out a old high school friend, good friend, brother, has stage 4 liver cancer and only has a few months to live. Never had this situation before. Everyone I know died suddenly... by their own hand or other... I get to say goodbye to this friend and it feels really weird. Not to mention he is one of those people who drinks gas and pisses napalm. He is to damn tough, a warrior, a freak of nature... to be taken out by cancer... I just can't wrap my head around it.
Just had to vent.. here.
#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodonāto act as an amplifier. You can, too!ā¤ļøš
Some #FollowFriday Fun for ya.
Some tech, some photography, some Chicago, some prolific boosters. All fun, all good folk.
