WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/

I highly recommend wandering over to https://brands.town/explore (which is a parody instance dedicated to "brand" accounts) for a good time. #Brands #Parody

Just a quick poll. #Boost ok.

Have you been infected with Covid-19?

2日ほどマストドンを使ってわかった　Twitterはカネを要求しない代わりに視覚や時間でコストを支払わせ、その負担はカネ以上にでかい

広告でなくても、「誰かの利益のためのツイート」というのが無数にあって、それを目にすること自体がコストの支払いになってしまってる　不快な広告をブロックし、転載botを通報し、PRツイートをミュートし、デマや扇動に警戒して、常に気を張りながらでは好きなことも引っ込んでしまう

雑音のない環境がこんなにもクリアで快適なものだとついぞ忘れていた　おかげで作業も捗るかというと、居心地が良すぎて何ひとつ進みませんでしたﾃﾍﾍﾟﾛ

Exactly a year ago, on Nov 16th 2021, I had a brain surgery for 6 hours with 2 surgeons.
Left hospital right before Thanksgiving with half of my body completely paralyzed.
Thinking about that, nothing is a big deal.
Where I stand today is pretty awesome.

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:

Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.

Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.

Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.

Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.

Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.

Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.
