Title: More Social Media

I've really been enjoying Mastodon. Compared to
other social media, there is undoubtedly more of
an initial effort to be made in uncovering
interesting people to follow. I've been dropping
into a few other instances to find those
interesting people; FOSS and gamedev related. I
guess it'll take a while to understand and refine
the process, but it's fun to follow the chain of
people and topics ever-deeper.
I'm using Mona, which seems like a nice client,
and it syncs everything between my phone and my
Macbook. It's fast and mainly invisible which I
like, after I turned off a lot of annoyances in
the sidebar which I didn't understand or want.
I've also been liberally using the block button,
mainly on bot feeds which are just polluting the
water with low-effort RSS spam. I imagine that
with the uptick in interest in federated social
media, a lot of marketroids are needing to tell
their boss "yep, we use Mastodon" even though the
sum total of their contribution is just to use it
as a Twitter replacement and shout into the void.
