#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 Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
Banning Mastodon and journalists isn't a power move. It's a move one makes when they are trying to cling to the last shreds of power and it's slipping through their fingers. The Mastodon ban is a naked admission that his own platform is failing and that's where people are going. Banning journalists is a naked admission that he knows he's lost control of the narrative.
Sure, he could have just tried being a decent person but honestly I don't think he knows how. It's almost pitiable.
