Wouldn’t that be a similar but less efficient version of a starter pack?

I’m definitely “taking it slow” on Mastadon. I think I’ve followed less than 10 people in the last 2 years. My feed is dead.

Yeah as an American that’s basically what I’ve been saying for the last 20 years. Now we are at the part where the worse results either become apparent or we lose our democracy.

Touché

I didn’t read the article but I’m pretty sure reject is the right answer.

keeping them out and the win in the courts is a start.

I only trust physically weak men who have a complex and nuanced view of things and have a hard time making decisions.

It’s been a good run lately, we’ve eked out wins in Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Croatia, and Romania

This is the right answer

While I don’t disagree with you in principle, the reality of having only 1 political party after this also doesn’t look particularly good.

True but he exceeded the existing bar by a lot.

I’m actually sad about this one. He was by far the best pope of my lifetime.

It’s investment vs payoff. I want to get a feed up and running, then I can tailor it as needed. My feed from using starter packs at Bluesky ended up better than 10+ years at Twitter trying to follow people individually, mostly because I was able to oursource the work of finding people with an interest in certain things to people who have put in the time to do this manually which I don’t have the desire to do.

It may just be that the Twitter format isn’t a good fit for me, but it worked at Bluesky in a way it didn’t work anywhere else using that style of communication.

That takes a long time. I tried the same on Mastodon and ended up losing interest. I went to bluesky and just followed some starter packs and was up and running in less than an hour with 1000+ follows and a nice feed. Within a few weeks I had more than 700 followers myself.

Building up a good list of follows on Mastodon is orders of magnitude harder than on Bluesky unfortunately. They need to address this if they want adoption.
