 @dinandmentink @pluralistic @TechConnectify RSS. ETA: I should expand on this to point out using RSS to follow an account makes you a 'consumer' and not a 'participant' – which runs counter to Social Media ethos, but does fit into how people at the far end of the power-law curve often want to use Social Media; I.E. as a broadcast mechanism, sans the time sink of 'participating' with thousands. NOTE: Cory is an exception, in that he dives into the participation deep end. 2 comments
> Fwiw I see quite some larger accounts here engaging a lot as well. That was my point about Cory. And, no, he isn't the only one. But the main point I'm making is: the Fedi is Social Media and Social Media is BY DEFINITION conversational. When someone is popular on Social Media the time-cost of participating in the conversation goes up rapidly. I believe that is a good thing, because there should be a cost to popularity. Anything else is tantamount to a form of oligarchy. |

@jackwilliambell @pluralistic @TechConnectify I support designing technology for the least powerful of those affected. Eg accessibility. But as a guideline, not a straitjacket.
Over here I have interactions with quite some mutuals ánd there are quite some larger accounts that I just follow. I enjoy engaging with both at a different level and see absolutely no issue.
