My feed is way too quiet - I need more people to follow on Mastodon. Can I have some recommendations?
Esp interested in:
- Web apps / Open source
- Front-end development
- Startups / makers / sideprojects
- Journalism
- Dry humour
Actively trying to avoid:
- Political commentary
- Dogmatic views
- Social justice crusades
@ellotheth Oh wow, I had not, this is really cool thank you! :)
@johnonolan Social justice crusades are probably the hardest to dodge here. Here are some developers / makers of things.

@rpcutts Thanks! Except for the last one. I'd rather set myself on fire 😂
@johnonolan I've been tending to follow accounts with abandon. Then spend the next few days pruning back.
@rpcutts Yeah I think that's generally a solid strategy. Worked well in the early days of Twitter, too :)
@rpcutts @johnonolan @cj @bjoern @jdormit @dansup @peter @stephaniewalter @JPEG @amdt @mike @juliank @djsundog @makingarecord Thanks for the heads up. Blocked him here too.
Delete your account.

Hi I'm also a designer and a feminist so you can block me here too :)
@makingarecord @rpcutts @johnonolan @cj @bjoern @jdormit @dansup @peter @stephaniewalter @JPEG @amdt @mike @juliank @aral checking in as also having social justice tendencies, not sorry
@mexpat @djsundog @makingarecord Friendly reminder to un-tag people in threads they aren't responding to. Thanks!
@johnonolan, there’s the #ff and #followFriday hashtags where people make suggestions on who too follow.
@iiogama Nice, thank you!
@johnonolan I guess I match a few of these points. I'm starting a contracting business with my father. I'm very into free & Open Source software, and while I have some clear lines in the sand I don't like to be dogmatic about it. It's not effective.
And I've got three side projects: Odysseus, Memex, & Brix. The former two are web browsers.
When it comes to politics, you might see *some* in relation to climate change or encryption from me.
@alcinnz encryption and climate change are 👌🏼 with me 🤗
@tleydxdy @johnonolan I cannot disagree.
By the way I mentioned I draw a line in the sand in regards to free software, I'll expand. I think everyone SHOULD have the source code for all the software they run on the computers. But they have to be the one to value it, and I don't care at all about the software they have others run. That brings entirely separate concerns.
@johnonolan Have you seen #trunk? https://communitywiki.org/trunk/
