I need your help...

Every day I put out a post to encourage people to Toot about their lives. Mundane or interesting.

I do this is to keep the social aspect of Mastodon alive. It's easy to forget, in a world of niche content, all of the things that make us who we are.

When we share our lives, we can see ourselves in others. We can see what makes us different, and yet the same.

That's beautiful.

So PLEASE, if you see any of my boosts with #today in it, BOOST it.

Let's keep Mastodon social.

Remember everyone -

Although you may have had larger "follower" counts on the birdsite, not all of those followers will be active. In fact, a huge number won't be. They'll have just collected like dead wood over the years.

That birdsite follower count has a vanity factor to it. Ignore that - and look at your level of interactions here. That's the test of active followers and a vibrant community.

And then make sure you're chatting away with others too. It makes all the difference.

Apparently, Putin had funded several Ukrainian politicians to organise a Fifth Column ready to act at the start of #PutinsWar, sorry, his Special Military Operation against Ukraine. The corrupt blighters failed to do so, stealing his money instead.

Oh dear.
How sad.
Never mind.

It’s always worth reminding Musk’s fan boys that these are the brilliant men who founded Tesla. Elon was just a series-A investor who bought in, then sabotaged the company enough until these men were pushed out, then he spent the next ten years telling everyone he founded Tesla.

We’re going to pay for MP’s Xmas parties this year for the first time.

During the worst cost of living crisis we’ve ever known?

Tone deaf and out of touch doesn’t even cut it #costofliving #XmasParties
