Also worth reminding (in addition to below tips): The only way a post can propagate on the fediverse is via social means, i.e. via boosting it... Likes are more or less a nod to the author that the message was appreciated, but has ZERO impact on other people learning about it. If we want to encourage more good/quality posts on here, share them, boost them! This is especially important for posts/content from smaller instances (or single user ones, like mine) where there's no one else on the local timeline. Boosting content from these small instances is literally the only way to reach _any_ people outside their direct followers...
(This is not a complaint, just pure observation, boosting rates (percentages) of my posts have severely dropped over here over the past 4-5 months. Of course, I'm assuming it's first and foremost a me problem, but I'm not sure if that's all there is to it...)

No, seriously - I can't possibly overstate the value in my life that has come from the internet or how it has enriched me.
Like Ed Zitron & @pluralistic have both written about at various times, I'm not mad at technology - I'm fucking furious at the fuckfaces who deliberately ruined it, just so they could squat their ignoble asses upon a mountain of riches like the shittiest, saddest little saggy dragons imaginable.
