@mmasnick Well, I just got my suspension reviewed and the result is super consistent with the above. I will shed no tears for being kicked off of a burning dumpster.
(Or maybe $REASON mapped to one of the deleted guidelines in the template this generated. Who knows, it's Elonball!)
#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!❤️😉
