@bcrypt @theoutrider posts a good doggo

@bcrypt @ninja

@bcrypt lol if you don't want toots about Mastodon go back to birbsite

@bcrypt er... I was picking them up from your follower list :/

@bcrypt Try: https://botsin.space/@emojis ..And: https://botsin.space/@AutomationOfStyle

@bcrypt I am not doing that. Though I don't have many jokes either.....

@bcrypt I also want a few suggestions.

@bcrypt sorry that was a joke but also I don't know anybody good to follow, no

@bcrypt we've got a bunch at securitymastod.one like @r4stl1n @zacharykeeton @adonis28850

@bcrypt Now I wouldn't want to toot my own horn-- so I won't.

@bcrypt There's a lot of folks on the toot.cat instance that post cats; there's some neat folks at witches.town; @djsundog
has some fun stuff;

@bcrypt

There's @HerraBRE

(One thing that is funny about Mastodon is that I can't see who you're following if they're not on my instance. Your follower count reads 0 to me, so let's hope someone on your instance is following someone on my instance, or you can't see this? But they probably are. Think I got that right.)

@bcrypt @drw is lasercutting things

@bcrypt I've been looking for hashtags and checking the TrendingBot https://mastodon.social/@TrendingBot to see what people are chatting about

@bcrypt It's strange: a lot of the people I follow on birbsite who tweet, there, about many diverse and interesting subjects, have come here and only toot about Mastodon here.

I'm finding myself without much to say here, because the conversation is so one-note. And that's a shame.

@bcrypt I recommend: @sydneyfalk, @aprrrl, @NinahMarie, @shivian

@bcrypt It takes time but the search is worth it.

@bcrypt Me! *waves*

@bcrypt @rowlet

@bcrypt also @body @SexyCyborg are good (hello those people!). I cannot find other people because I am on my phone I just randomly click on folk on the federated stream it's all I know how to do

@bcrypt Me. By the way, I used to follow you on Twitter. I knew about Mastodon because you shared a link. Thank you very much. This network is beautiful. :smile:

@bcrypt Gotta join up with oulipo.social. Toots in that instantiation all focus on that community's crazy constraints.

@bcrypt @tonks is my cat who definitely does not tweet about mastodon.

@bcrypt Mostly I toot about how my Avatar isn't broken, lately.

@bcrypt I think the core problem is that most users are conditioned by birdsite to expect that a "successful" toot is one with many stars and boosts. The current common ground for the community is interest in Mastodon, so those toots are most likely to get a response. I toot about whatever I'm working on or thinking about, but no one gives a shit about that (at least in a star/boost manner). I have to remind myself that getting favs/boosts is not the actual point.

@bcrypt myself? 😅. Nah but seriously check out some of the people on my 'following' list, I keep it short but full of quality tooters 👌

@bcrypt me, I don't toot at all

@bcrypt Well, if it interests you, @flourish is trying to start up Mastodon's One Direction fandom...

and also @blackle is... highly suggested.

And also @acw (if you aren't already following him) is, like, an APL programmer that somehow isn't mythical (maybe).

@bcrypt I'm good :-) I don't write all that much though...

@bcrypt Personally I can only advice you, since you're the only one active in my feed... sorry!

@bcrypt people who use it like Twitter. 😊

@bcrypt *reluctantly raises hand* only one meta-toot from my side so far. With regard to 'good': that judgement is up to you, necessarily.

@bcrypt what's this "Mastodon" thing you speak of? :grin:

@bcrypt @scanlime

@bcrypt i'm gonna say @algernon and his keyboard account @kbp for making it harder to wait for keyboardio to ship (:

@bcrypt Me. I'm GI Jack, the All American Zero. Biker, Hacker, rocker, and all around lousey drunk. #NYC2600 and #DEFCon201 founding member.

@bcrypt Me?

@bcrypt cool freeens: @SexyCyborg @maxkreminsky@mastodon.social @Flaccus @plexus

I supposed my birbsite aesthetic is cs & gender but these days I'm hitchhiking in eastern Europe so mostly I'm posting nature photos and sketchbook stuff :'D
