Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm
It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.

This is how Mickey Mouse comes into creation
Every house essentially having a small storefront space attached. But it’s just to park a car
And those plugins are like beta release quality at best. Even the web searching capability is just meh

It’s in bad taste to speak ill of the dead
QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping
You cannot die, that would be amoral and unethical.
Instead you must live on with mountains of medical debt, sickly and defeated
Being upset about people’s water bottles is infinitely more boring than owning a water bottle
Well well well. What a pointless exercise in obstinance
