Mastodon needs a way of automatically populating your feed for new users, like the “All” button does here on Lemmy if your instance has done the work.
I consider myself somewhat technology literate and I got frustrated/bored after trying on my phone to find popular accounts elsewhere to follow on the smaller instance I signed up on. Still stuck with an empty feed, but mostly out of laziness*. New users don’t stand a chance.
Kinda odd that a US state official is talking about this in language implying it’s the US’s war? Removes the whole facade that this isn’t US+Ukraine vs Russia that everyone’s pretending isn’t happening.
