meta trick 

# Do some accounts flood your TL while others dry out? Here's a trick

Put your followees in lists that group them by their pace (= toots per unit of time). I use the numbers relative to my own pace. A pace of one means, I have the same. A pace of 50 means, for each of my post they post 50. Yes, those exist.

Here is the script I used to measure the pace: hastebin.skyra.pw/kedajenijo.c

@neauoire and @rek - They report their discoveries of making games, art, music, nutrition, software almost self-sufficiently on their sailing boat Pico somewhere on the pacific ocean. I like their style and the idea of having a self-made, unique software ecosystem. 100r.co

Mit Mastodon ist es wie damals als ich durch vapen mit dem Rauchen aufhören wollte und am Ende einfach doppelt so viel geraucht hab.

As Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Stripe, Shopify, Lyft, Netflix, and Microsoft lay off workers, let it serve as a reminder that free snacks, beer kegs, and ping pong tables are not real perks.

I’m boldly going where I haven’t gone before, which is right here at this site. Apparently this is a “toot.” I would appreciate a follow!
