They are going to make them twice as relevant. I’m sure the advertisers are going to LOVE hearing how badly targetted their money is

@zimpenfish Think I will wait until I'm ready to go out of my comfort zone. It's only an extra £10 a month and 🤷♂️
Just had a nasty cold and a cough that's not gone but has at least moved into the distance a little.
Post covid booster, but I think I was going down with it already and should have moved the appointment. Just wanted to get it done.
That'll teach me.
@zimpenfish (because I knew what I was doing)
@zimpenfish I initially did Digital Ocean's smallest machine, but had continuous RAM warnings so doubled it. Warning were just that, though. Still ran.
If you're not a linux/Rails head upgrading to the latest is interesting. I used a prebuilt one and it was alright.
@zimpenfish Is pleroma better? I find Ruby masto a but resource hungry.

Greetings and Welcome to the Fediverse.
Your first mission, should you choose to accept it, is to start finding people to follow.
You really don't have to be super picky right now. You just want to start getting your feed busy so you can start organically finding content.
Additionally, if you've decided to use the Tweetdeck-style advanced interface, make sure to set up one or more columns with hashtags you want to follow! That's another big way people discover content on here!
Mastodon doesn't default to having an in-your-face content algorithm, which does mean that you need to put in a _little_ more work to find stuff you want to engage with. This is a good thing!
Your second mission, of course, is to actually _engage_ with stuff you like, instead of just liking and walking away. Having conversations with "randos" is a lot easier and less awkward on here, and people are more likely to respond to you. Talk to us! Even (especially) if we have a lot of followers! This is how you get the other end of the puzzle (people who follow _you_).
Enjoy your stay and I hope it's safe and cozy <3

Who would make the best PM
• Starmer 30%
• Sunak 28%
• Neither 42%
Anyone know Neither’s position on a wealth tax on the billionaire class? Asking for a friend.

When authors sent a piece on Margaret Hodge’s profiteering from apartheid South Africa to the Guardian, they strung them along for months before refusing to publish this exposure of a key Corbyn critic as an apartheid profiteer, preventing its publication elsewhere for months https://twitter.com/jmcevoy_2/status/1588609914305646592
The Musk fans disagreeing with this but not actually being able to explain why they disagree with it in this timeline or a treat.

Elon Musk is single-handedly destroying the myth that the rich are smarter or more talented than the rest of us.

Who could have predicted that @afneil/@FraserNelson's Spectator, which has spent the last decade publishing and platforming racists and fascists from the UK, Europe and the US, would use this sort of imagery?
Shocked, shocked, etc.

Wild how absolutely none of the three main parties are suggesting the one thing that would actually save the NHS; building capacity into the system itself with good pay and working conditions to attract and retain staff. https://twitter.com/MichelePaduano/status/1588454849037103105

Bloody hell this is really magnificent from @asda Chairman Stuart Rose (formerly @marksandspencer)
More of this. Much more. It’s vital that business leaders speak out in this way. Bravo. 👏

capitalism and the market economy are such brilliant system in theory, too bad they just don't work for actual human beings

Check out all that immunity debt in states that... *checks notes*... didn't have as strict pandemic measures.
