#FollowFriday

In my three weeks of being a self-appointed Walmart greeter here on #Mastodon, I've noticed people looking for a connection. Just someone to follow them.

So I follow them. Why? Because it costs me nothing, other than time to say hello and click the "+" button.

Many of these folks are shy. Often they're not big posters anyway. So they're not crowding my Home timeline.

And when they do post?  So cool. And I think, "There's my new friend! I wonder what they have to say?"

I’ve had a lot of people ask me recently why not stay on Twitter and fight.

The reason is because Musk controls the algorithm. He could ban you tomorrow, and he could also just deprioritize every one of your tweets so no one sees them.

You can’t fight and win when the opponent has complete control over the field of conflict.
