Idk why we can't just get terrazzo flooring like in every bathroom in base housing. That shit was the best.
[you probably can still get it if you're ordering 200 near identical bathrooms]

Neither of us got the name on your banner, but we thought this was very necessary and you explained that you get to set us on fire if otherwise. What I'm saying is I will be shocked if you're not on the fedi...

When I was a child, all I wanted to do was move to a warm place. I thought it was much more realistic to move to a warm place than the buy warm bedding and a warm jacket and warm shoes and thermals, etc, etc.
In my 20s I realised it's actually viable to buy a warm doona and sleep in relative comfort for a few years off that. Plus it's possible to buy a jacket that works better than multiple kmart hoodies on top of each other. So I decided living in cold climates was fine.
After waking up too cold to sleep enough times in middle age, I've flipped my opinion back. The place to be poor is a warm place.

Several comments along the general lines of "the fedi likes consuming celebrity content if the celebrity is cool about it". This would be logical and I can see why people would think this.
If you have tried this and found this to be the case with your content and your stage name, I love that for you.
I have found the opposite. The thing I produce and its associated stage name has 25k followers on another platform. People on the fedi seem to quite like me [producer of hot takes about farts] but no one is having a bar of me [producer of hot takes about farts who also sometimes shares polished professional stuff for free]. It just fucks up the vibe. We're not here for that, we're here for the farts and I respect that.

There's an elephant in the room here though: curtesy is rude when it robs the receiver of the opportunity to be righteously angry that no one ever helps them.
You never know when someone is setting up a situation because they want to complain about the hardship, tell their friends later that bystanders/shop assistants/other drivers didn't help and generally have a little martyrdom. If you offer them a courtesy of any kind during one of these episodes, you're actually ruining their game and dealing out a cruelty to them.
Edit: if you've seen how angry a middle aged woman not getting served in a posh shop is, just you wait until you see a middle aged woman who approached a posh shop certain she wouldn't get the correct service *then did*. The Horror. To be robbed of shopping centre martyrdom. How humiliating.

I find "do unto others" doesn't work well for neurospicey people.
I don't want any staff to talk to me in a shop, I don't want to be offered a cup of tea, I never want to be provided with a TV in the background of a waiting space.
This is a me problem, I know I still need to do all these things unto others. Because the actual expectation is "do unto others the assumed mean of what the population wants".
Going around randomly doing unto others what you genuinely want done to yourself is anything from confusing to criminal. It's not a great idea for anyone.

Accounts that claim there's no engagement on the fedi are, in my experience, some of the only accounts not engaging. The only ones not getting in other people's comments with similar interests and just shooting the shit with no other agenda.
You cannot go to a jamboree, sit around your own fire and complain that no other scout troops are coming by to hear your guitar. Your troop has to go to everyone else's fires, listen to their stories, sing along with their songs and of course answer enquiries about whether you can play Teenage Dirtbag.

This is what I mean when I say the fedi is a series of kitchen tables. Not a form of email, not a world of islands, just a lot of kitchen tables.
Everyone is happy to see someone rock up to the kitchen table with a bunch of cat pics, a recipe and a silly question.
No one wants someone turning up to the barbecue with a professional portrait of oneself with cat, a series of YouTube links to polished videos of yourself presenting recipes and constantly questioning why these are not getting enough attention.

I keep hearing "mastodon isn't good for [type of celebrity], they have to go to [other platform] for engagement"
It's not the celebrity type [scicom personality, journalist, author] it's the attempt to run a celebrity account at all that doesn't work on the fedi.
There are heaps of well known people on the fedi. Either it's not obvious that's their day job or they're just quietly being that in among posts about walking their dog. Coming to the fedi trying to sell your day job and hoping people will 'engage' is odd. Like going to the playground or the museum and being mad that bystanders didn't engage your about your day job despite the sandwich board you're wearing and your refusal to talk about any other topic.
Going into a social environment broadcasting [📢this is my content, engage with it📢] is an obvious recipe for disappointment. No one cares about the things you're broadcasting. Show us your dog. Did they have a nice walk?

My favourite thing about learning psychology is how well it explains psychologists.
I keep finding the part of the textbook where the psychologist is instructed to do something completely baffling then stare at me expectantly.

I'm watching people do horse sports in a local field and you couldn't convince me to do horse sports with a massive, massive stick.

People at the table next to us at the small rural town cafe, probably greatest generation, maybe older boomers:
-I don't go over there anymore. I want to of course, to see Emily and the girls.
-they'll be bombs falling there very soon
-there's a lot of smart people over there
-mhmm
-lot of snipers
-mhmmmmmm
-what I don't get is why they can't hit his damn head
-EXACTLY!!

I know I've said this before, but if you influence culture, you're an influencer and we need to start calling them out. Especially when they don't want to selfID that way.
Richard Dawkins: major spiritual influencer to my parents' generation.
Ricky Gervais: biggest body weight/wellness influencer of my era.
Jeremy Clarkson: major gender influencer to my father and brothers' generations.

It would be great of the media would stop using the word 'pounding' in a serious context. That word belongs to Chuck Tingle now.
