I like to do difficult things and make them look easy, and I publish a weekly newsletter on
LinkedIn
Aral BalkanOptimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.
A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

@tante would be odd to leave Twitter and want something precisely the same and offer a better experience. Strange, but very human as well.
This is a great explanation of what it takes to do great (creative) work:
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good.[..]. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.

I decided to step in and become support Mastodon through Patreon. I think it is healthier to pay for something than to use it for free and that some megalomaniacal billionaire and his friends take it over.
I wonder if we get free feet pics on Patreon from @Gargron. I am asking for a friend, of course.
Support them here: https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘✨:
If you feel overwhelmed by your Mastodon unalgorythmed Home feed, you can use Lists to create separated feed of followers in categories.
For example, you can create a VIP List for the people you want to follow more closely, you can create Lists per topics, for your friends, family, etc.
Browse your Home feed when you want a big melting pot of it all.
Browse your Local feed when you want to see what your community instance shares.
Browser the Federated feed when you want to see the World 🌍🐘

My #introduction.
I am Rick from 🇳🇱. I like to do difficult things in big companies. Though when I am not doing that, I do some #cycling 🚴 , read some #books 📚, or I am #learning and #writing about what I read or experienced.
Twenty years ago, I swam marathons (25km, 5-6 hrs), and ten years ago, I worked on recording a TV series in Bollywood. So I guess in the upcoming years, I will be doing something else remarkable, or maybe Mastodon is the next big thing for me 😅.
