Here on #Mastodon, I don't ask people to subscribe or #follow. I encourage people to *INTERACT* (following is one tool to facilitate that). My measure of enjoyment of the #Fediverse isn't my follower count; it's the kind of interactions I've had.

So to all the new people that follow me that I haven't interacted with: that's totally fine! But I'd love to hear from you - reply to this and say hi!

Mastodon smaller than Twitter, but the quality and FUN of interactions here is SO much higher!

Please don't derive any kind of signal from who I #follow on the #Fediverse. Absolutely feel free to at-me, DM me, whatever, whether or not I follow you.

There are a lot of ways to see conversations on #Mastodon: tags, lists, instance timeline, federated timeline, and of course, following timeline. Just because I manage one screen in a particular way doesn't imply anything about my level of openness to your thoughts. The great thing about Fediverse is the good conversations we have.

Well, for #introductions, I'm #newhere. Looking into #Mastodon and the #Fediverse finally. #Facebook and #Twitter are damaging to democracy and it is time decentralize the large social networks.

I like to talk about #Linux, #Rust, #Programming, #Music, #Hobbies, you name it. Thanks @downey for hosting this server.
