I use Ecosia, it plants trees with the profits from its ad revenue! Results are sourced from Bing and Google.

I’m sorry if I sound naive but what’s wrong with using a mobile?

I thought people use traditional music players like iPod and Tangara only because of their retro feel, is there something else to it?

Personally, I initially started with following accounts of some companies or softwares that I use or am passionate about like The Fedora Project, The Tor Project, Bitwarden, Blender, Proton, some game engines (and their creators) etc. You can usually find their mastodon handles on their website and/or somewhere on their twitter profiles.

After that I branched out from there gradually, following people as I found them in discussions, the explore page and through some 3rd party discovery tools as well like “Followgraph for Mastodon” which looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon and then the people they follow then it sorts them by the number of mutuals.

You only see posts from people you follow, you can just unfollow (or mute/block) whoever you don’t like to see on your timeline. If you’re scrolling the trending/explore page then maybe you should try switching servers or just stick to the home feed which has toots only from the accounts you follow.

Matthias Ott (@[email protected])! I personally find his OwnYourWeb blog/newsletter really helpful as a newbie (comparatively) looking to setup my own webpage and blog.

Oh wow, I didn’t know it’s used for research and policy discussions as well! That’s pretty neat.

Yup, it says 390 million for Twitter, you might have mixed it up with LinkedIn’s 930 million.

Surprised to see LinkedIn’s 930 million MAU! I might have heard someone mention it irl like 2 times my whole life? But maybe that’s cuz I’m not in the job market yet.

AA is just a discovery, curatorial platform.

It isn’t just a discovery/search platform anymore. Source
