Why, good sir, this is the only SM which doesn't use the souls of children to fuel its algorithms.

Hello #mastodon
Je suis sûr que vous pourrez me conseiller un VPN basé hors USA, no logs, bon débit et facile à utiliser.
J’ai utilisé dans le passé CyberGhost, je teste actuellement MullVad, vous en avez sûrement d’autres très bons voire meilleurs ?
Le repouet protège les données personnelles.

I've discovered something interesting about Mastodon: back in the early days of Twitter, before algorithms, when it was just a reverse-chronological feed, and hashtags and lists were been touted as pro strats that everyone should use, there was this rule of thumb that the average tweet has a lifespan of about three hours.
Meaning that if you posted something, and it hadn't taken off (seen significant engagement) within about three hours, you could assume it never would.
And I kinda liked that. I enjoyed the *immediacy* of Twitter, that "you snooze, you lose" aspect of it. It was about what was happening right now. Not what happened yesterday or last week or last month. I missed that a lot after they introduced surfacing algorithms.
And it's one of the things that drew me to Mastodon, back in November 2022. The promise of that same immediate thrill ride: there's no point in scrolling back. Just open it up and see what's happening.
But Mastodon is a bit different. Often, I'll post something, maybe get a boost or a favourite or something within the first 10 minutes, and then nothing. Oh well, it's gone now. And then two or three days later, BAM! I'm seeing boosts and favourites and replies to that post all over the show. Hell, I'm still seeing boosts and favourites and replies to toots I posted two YEARS ago.
I guess it has a lot to do with how Mastodon users in general (or maybe just those who follow me) seem more inclined to follow/search for hashtags, or organise their followees into lists. Maybe I'm on some lists with few other people, and the creators of those lists check them regularly? Or maybe -- and perhaps this is because there are markedly fewer people on here that it's actually feasible -- people are more likely to scroll back to see what they've missed. Even if they do only visit once every 2-3 days or less.
It just seems to be quite a different paradigm. People here seem much more free to use the platform in the way that suits them.

I think the product is just fine. Wonderful, in fact. I'm glad that Taylor Lorenz and Corey Doctorow and George Takai and Lisa Melton etc, etc are the local celebrities on this site. I also think scarcity and "being cool" (in other words, not trying) are the ultimate signifier of where folks should want to be.
It ain't broken.
Let's not fix it.

Deanna, Little One, I'm looking at your profile picture and I must ask: who chose that lighting? It does absolutely nothing for your cheekbones! I'm sending Mr. Homn to your quarters with a proper reflector and some glitter spray. Don't lock the door. #LwaxanaTroi #MotherlyCritique #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon
