Guess what?
On Mastodon, your follower/follows ratio doesn't matter. No one cares about your #clout. You don't need to build a #brand.
If you follow a bunch of people it shows that you are curious and want to hear ideas from diverse sources. Go crazy with the #follows and the #boosts. The more the better.
But feel free to #unfollow if things get overwhelming. And use #Lists to put your follows into more manageable cohorts to see what a limited group of people are posting.
The first time on Mastodon that I'm flagging a new post on my #Brexit&Beyond blog!
Titled 'In the doldrums', it looks at ongoing rows over economics, the slow intrusion of reality, the stasis over the NI Protocol, Sunak's lack of a clear agenda, and the recurring constraints of the Tory Party.
Will the doldrums continue or will there be a new crisis? And which is the more depressing prospect?
All that and more here:

Over 320 #journalists on #Mastodon in 2 days and I know this list I'm helping with is very partial.

The vibe on #Twitter: "I am not paying Elon Musk a penny and will leave if it becomes subscription only."
The vibe on #Mastodon: "I will chip in to help the volunteers running the servers."
It feels more like a co-op than being part of a billionaire's evil plan. Which is nice.

France is not fucking around
New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a solar roof (in 3-5 years)
This could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors

GOP source tells me “if it wasn’t clear before it should be now. We have a Trump problem”
When following back people here, I’m noticing a lot of people haven’t posted anything yet.
If you can’t think of anything to write just yet, then do consider just reblogging (=retweeting!) good content that you see around. You could start with this post, for example, to encourage more people to start sharing content around here.
BTW, as we get the Bylines publications going on here, that will provide ample good news content for the community. 👍👍
