I won’t be posting much, if at all, on this site. I’m here to read and learn. I left last year, fed up with seeing all the vitriol being flung far and wide. I came here out of curiosity, stayed because I’m now able to calmly read about current events from many viewpoints. Also for cat and dog pics, parody and humor.

More and more I use , the more I get it. I've never been trying to get popular on , just responding to people in comments and mostly never posting and just . Mastodon is kind of a distilled version of that, where I can just talk to people without trying to get . The people I talk to tend to be the same way.

There's not a lot of to chase on here for the attention seekers. That's what makes it genuine.

Just realized I've been and not posting anything. I'm an observer. Sitting back and watching is what I do best.

set up a listener, a webserver, a collaborator instance, whatever, grep access logs or what have you for user agent strings matching /http\.rb.+Mastodon\/[\d.]+/

update your profile with a url pointing to your listener and wait.
