For some strange reason this keeps coming to mind. 🤭🤭
I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.
EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.
Not sure where I stand with regards to quote toots, but I know one thing for sure: FFS, no algorithmic feed!
Think about it. What are you trying to surface, exactly? Popular toots, probably. Now define “popular”. Pretty good chance that means “toots with high engagement”—lots of favorites, lots of replies.
What gets lots of engagement? Hot takes. Anger. Bullshit. Hate. Etc. That’s why #Facebook and #Twitter are such soul-sucking cesspools.
Don’t bring that shit to #Mastodon.
