@kissane @w7voa It’s amazing how different my experience has been. Rather than read the instance’s firehose or follow hashtags, I’ve done the same thing I’ve done on all other platforms — I’ve followed a few people I know or know of and then followed people whom they boost. Eventually, I carve-out the experience I want. Scoldy or boring people don’t get followed. I take responsibility for my own feed and don’t blame “the culture.”
