"Mastodon seems so inactive" ... "almost no engagement" ... (Reddit post / feedback) 

My summary first / agree with these:

1 👻 "ghost town"👻

2 ⛔ "no engagement" (almost like it's bad past 1 reply / not the point of Fediverse to unite?)

3 :qoto: This server might be / too or name somehow not helping for historical reasons with others making name bad or other getting wrong idea.

"Mastodon seems so inactive"

💬 Is it just me, or does feel so empty? Sure, there are trending posts, but most of the posts from regular users you click on have no likes, boosts, or comments.

Even accounts with 1,000 have almost no .

On the other hand, BlueSky feels much more alive. What's the issue? I really enjoy Mastodon, but I feel like it's kind of ghost town.

EDIT:
Thank you for all the responses.

Some remarks:

✔️ I should work on my feed.
(follow more people + hashtags + make lists)

✔️ The amount of likes/favs is not shown from all instances, so it might look like no one is liking posts.

QOTO.org: an inclusive, STEM-focued instance supporting Academic Freedom

In light of many complaints that some Mastodon communities are excessively touchy and block-happy, I want to bring awareness to the excellent instance at QOTO -- "question others to teach ourselves". This is a STEM-focused instance that attempts to embody the ideals of Academic Freedom -- allowing users to listen to whatever they wish as long as they do not abuse others or spread hateful ideologies.

qoto.org/about/more

I'm promoting this specific instance because they have been getting pushback from the larger Mastodon community over their 'open federation' policy -- ultimately causing them to be dropped from the 'joinmastodon' directory. QOTOs only has a blanket ban on a few other instances, and otherwise provides users with the option to activate the 'fediblock' blocklist on their own account by importing a CSV file.

While many Mastodon users will value having a more heavily moderated experience that errors on the side of blocking inappropriate content, I think the social network as a whole benefits from having a some major nodes that error on the side of allowing speech.

Please check it out if you are interested in STEM. The server is functioning well, and I've had a good experience over there (but granted, I haven't posted much that would draw the attention of bigots).

Edit: STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

This post / thread also seems relevant and interesting

qoto.org/@QOTO/105585450020302

Mainly about:

➡️ Getting QOTO deliberately blocked by creating bad content here and reporting it

➡️ Method: Creating account here + + using those puppet / sock / fake accounts to post bad / Nazi stuff and then report it as evidence elsewhere to other servers and aiming to get entire QOTO server blocked and / or on list(s)...

❓ #QOTO BLOCKED ? ❓ Which servers?... 

➡️ 1-What servers are blocking / - @freemo or anyone know?

➡️ 2-Is there also site for showing blocks / defed?

TLDR version finished...

====================
More on that (but can skip it)...
====================

or people who can say "We are blocking you!" concretely to help QOTO deal with it ⛔

📋 Reasons why + any offending examples / links. 📋

🔗 Any page links saying is blocked elsewhere. 🔗

Honesty is great (not looking for any trouble).

Thanks

❓ Which servers are ?... ❓

OFFICIAL INFO - My Italy Dream Story
========================================

My book - the spontaneously spoken story - of how I came to my magical Italian Arthouse - on a mostly-non-existent

budget, and surmounting myriad challenges internally and externally:

how it was to immerse myself in a random, semi-abandoned medieval quarter and the rural culture of south Italy - and the explosion of house-hunting that our TV show seeded... How everything blew up in drama and controversy... and then settled down beautifully, into La Vita Agrodolce and then Eventually, how it all healed into the thriving natural life I now Am Living...

The 17 Chapters of the story of moving and feelings of reality:

the glen

the prayer

la degustazione

the drive

the full immersion

the separation

the dark night of the soul

the corrected prayer

the house

the first year

the arthouse

the landscape

the tv show

the gold rush

the renovating

the corrected dream

the living dream

During freshwater global crisis, Google's water surge

"Google’s data centers worldwide consumed nearly 6 billion gallons (22.7 billion liters) of water in 2024. The company’s “2024 Environmental Report” showed an 8% annual increase in water consumption, driven by advancements in search functions, artificial intelligence (AI), and other projects. AI remains the primary factor behind the surge, with Google’s water consumption having jumped 20% in 2022."

Capitalism? Problems & Solutions.. My recent posts as list... 

How to overcome capitalism? etc

[My recent posts as summary]

➡️ Minimise and maximise (for the human way more often)

➡️ Not every needs to be a one.

➡️ Need to expect resistance during any system of transition different from it

➡️ Increment help and trust of other kinds (between ourselves to ourselves)

➡️ Be The ...OR ... Become A New of Working (Simply called a system of )

➡️ We can imagine the end of the world, but we can't imagine reducing ourselves.

➡️ The 'next level' is to actually invest time to talk with everyone

➡️ People are not investing in people (not putting in time)

➡️ People prefer talking to / working on / working with and not growing themselves and others

➡️ in the opposite axis or another spectrum of extreme is called and .

➡️ When it's less clear and this is where I'd favour a bit of trial and error.

➡️ EVERYONE IS - Change Your

➡️ ALL seem to miss the unique individual from the equation, showing 'system' is something done *to* people, not so much *with* them or asking them what they think

➡️ Staying as victim too is by just watching and talking about etc

➡️ Watching and commenting on the etc doesn't increase and between us

➡️ It's upto us instead of waiting for others or mass movements...

➡️ = A place where corporations and makes Internet shitter [my own term]

➡️ thrives because it prioritizes community and collaboration over technical perfection

➡️ Real work is the users and admin together AND non-google / non-aws stuff... maximising the people-to-people work (p2p communication daily) rather than only mass storage mcdonalds tech and memes...

➡️ Humans change humans by respecting and believing in the individuals more often... (we see a lot of hate pushed around)

➡️ for the way and linking things - exploring to see they are multi-dimensional

➡️ MINIMAL TECH + HAND-CRAFTED HUMAN CONTACT

========== QUESTIONS ============

➡️ Ways to help each other people from start nearer to the finish?... Suggestions?

➡️ How to help / share / grow each other with less modern Capitalism involved?

Reverse psychology (don't :follow: me daily) seems to work :D

"Being the change" means doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity / Incrementing Trust) 

You become what you increasingly give energy to...

❓ - Are machines only what you develop? 🌀 💻 🌀

❓ - IS IT A GOOD OR BAD SPIRAL? HUMAN OR MACHINE SPIRAL? 🌀 📉 🌀

❓ - CAN YOU CO-CREATE / COOPERATE BETTER TOGETHER ? :boost: 🎆 :boost:

☑️ Be more yourself AND with other people develop THEM / EACH OTHER with what you do already!...

🎩 Politics & Profit 💲 is surly robbing us- but WE are also not really doing much more than repeating it (cooperating and complaining)...

People on the hashtags, can become them if not careful... in some lesser way by "following" their bad work

The spiral 🌀 storm they are in, is a bad spiral / it's not promoting co-operation

You are not creating almost at all !

You are not on as your daily driver right?

"Hashtag followers" can fall into the trap of perpetuating the bad 🔁 news and advertising the bad people, just reacting.

Not creating.

ALL publicity is good publicity for bad people...
Are you the repeater tool used to grow THAT?,,, and not grow THIS trusting stuff?

Trust is what needed to defend from bad people in future (don't wait for them to stand on your head or become nicer people suddenly).

So build each other up ⬆️
or die ⚱️ ⚱️!

"Being the change" means actually doing differently WITH other PEOPLE... (Humanity? Increment Trust?)

If you like and dislike everything else that attempts something similar ( / included)

then I question what the point of life is with that sort of devil and not trying to think about lesser ones.

While accepting we're inside this or that container - all are burning the planet, "naturally" or more excessively depending on your priority ladder...

Anyone looking to hire an experienced Staff-level engineer with over 12 years of software engineering expertise and 7 years of #elixirlang experience in a variety of architectural styles? (Me)

I have extensive experience leading teams. Workshop facilitation know-how. Hands-on experience in shaping team structures, crafting effective sociotech dynamics, optimizing delivery processes, and using a multitude of techniques to understand and break down complex problem domains into simple solutions.

I don't see myself as just an engineer, I'm a problem solver in tech. One that understands that simple beats complex and that you cannot ignore the human component in tech.

I'm looking for a remote position. Something where I can empower one or many teams and help you accelerate, improve, and simplify the whole software delivery lifecycle. 30h week. Preferably Elixir but if the conditions are right I don't really care.

Giving Humans Work and Using Each Other rather than the Machines-as-people 

The Human Equation / Challenge as I see it is mainly about:

1 ➡️ Giving humans more work with their feelings / expression / own work

And against tyranny (if you agree we have resistance):

2 ➡️ Working together with our own stuff

Machines today are doing the work mostly and Humans less processing things...

=====================
MACHINES-AS-PEOPLE
=====================
The politics behind machines are that the machines-are-as-people - think about Bill Gates a Windows machine in your home made with increasingly more power and political in mind as selfish bias like tracking and mining you)

=====================
WHY HUMANS AND LESS MACHINES?
=====================
Humans can fight it out verbally with a bit of a chance whereas machines just follow-only as an object / code and too fast for humans which ultimately life is for (and us serving planet too):

=====================
Another way to say the equation:
=====================
🐵 [Human's work & energy
➡️ with feelings / negotiation ability
VS.
🤖 [Machine's work & energy]
⛔ no feelings / no negotiation ability

I think #Trump has a great name... shows what we need to trump him / them / ALL those types 

His name reminds us all that the Fediverse and beyond -ALL- literally have to Trump him to get him off the podium.

Which means communicating between us (not just working with computers).

Nobody wants to deal with that.

TRUMP is a G.O.A.T (means "Greatest Of All Time") in some ways like the animal spelling of the acronym, which is relevant according to the will-power needed to topple those at any top level. I don't think he's the best, but he shows up/

The community have to truly be about community (err... yeah making remember?) which seems what people are TOTALLY MISSING here and we should be almost inundated with questions and active enough to do that 1 person a day or 1 message to give back to the world.

And not given that = no community. .
WINS. WITH AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN DO COMMUNICATION...

Trump and deserve to dance, because we're too scared of each other here!

No really! 👻 👤 👥

You're scared of others and don't want to invest the "time" in listening / working together...

Back to the hashtag you go dear virtue-signaller / feel-good stone thrower...
