Boosts
@evan Yes. Even if I blocked you it ain't personal and I hope you're doing well. We're all on a journey and what a place this is turning out to be!
@evan I follow people either if I know them well or if I look at their profile and am interested in their posts. Some people I follow are: @Kaliah , @Haven_of_dreams , @elliottman98 , @Ethan_edwards , @samtupy , @maysoncabo , @cartertemm , @Evdog1245 , @stevo399 , @lexipic , @grace , @MS26 , @MutedTrampet , @BrailleScreen All these people post really cool things. I have a small number of people I follow but like seeing everything that's posted on my home feed. All these people post really cool things.
@evan Most of them, a few crazy's like everyware.
Evan Prodromou The poll doesn’t show on my NoeBB-based site, so I’ll just answer via write-in.
Yes, but… There are a lot of really great, kind, interesting, intelligent, and/or engaging people here that I’m glad to interact with.
I’ve also come across an amount of vaguely revenge-of-the-nerdish behaviour, where angry folks show up in the comments and demand basic things be hidden behind content warnings or that I follow some rule from their instance on my server I pay for, and that they’re only seeing posts from because of some choice someone on their instance made, and they often don’t take get lost for an answer.
@evan I went with "Yes, but", but it could just as easily have been "No, but". I've met some truly great people here who I consider friends. It also seems to house more than its fair share of assholes. I find myself reluctant to talk to people unless I've known them for a while. These days, if I interact, I tend to keep things clinical.
@mike who are some good ones?
@evan Well, there are some that I've known since before I joined Mastodon, like @kev and @tatertot, and @matthartley. I've known them all for years now.
Some of the people I've met here are @adamsdesk, @rl_dane, @cmccullough, @haubles, @Gina, @joel, @Greylinux, and @markwyner.
I also have good relationships with the admin and moderators of this instance.

There are others, but that's a quick and dirty list.
Awe. How lovely to see this, Mike. I’m glad we connected here, too.
Hi, Evan! 👋🏻 I’m not an asshole. At least I think I’m not. I’ve been following you for a while.
@evan @Kev @tatertot @matthartley @adamsdesk @rl_dane @cmccullough @haubles @Gina @joel @Greylinux
Thanks @mike appreciate it mate.
@evan, unlike @markwyner I am an arsehole (just ask my wife!) but I'm a nice arsehole...I think. 🤣
😂 I love this thread. It’s why I love Mastodon. Community is rad.
@evan the vast majority of people I've interacted with on the Fediverse have been wonderful people. I'm aware this isn't necessarily representative of the Fediverse as a whole. I feel that my instance does a pretty good job of moderation, and I am somewhat selective of who I follow.
@keydelk any good people in particular?
@evan lots. Some of my favorite people to follow are @GeePawHill - always has great insight and seems like he would be a lot of fun to hang out with. @pluralistic, @WeirdWriter, @cstross and @susankayequinn are some of my favorite writers on here. And I discovered some awesome video games by @eniko and by @clarus
@evan@cosocial.ca only some of them
@anemone gimme three names!
@evan@cosocial.ca Hmm, hard to pick 3, but

subnetter@shitposter.world
Yes! So many awesome earthlings on here, nerding out on the weirdest topics. My ever-curious brain is so grateful for all of you!
@airwhale name some names?
@evan
I specially dislike the people who makes polls.
@paelnever That can be fixed.
@evan @paelnever
I'm the opposite.
There's nary a poll that I don't boost, Evan.
@Guillotine_Jones @evan
Sure, polls are boosts magnets, that's exactly why some people make it, just hoarding attention in the purest "influencer" style.
@paelnever @Guillotine_Jones it'd be more fair if everyone was really boring.
@evan @paelnever
Over time, I, for one, have gotten really good at being boring, Evan.
Bong hits 4 Jesus.
@evan Yes, but… no social platform isn’t without having awful humans participating.
@evan Yes.
Occasionally when a "but" gets in, so do the multiple levels of block.
Then we are back to plain "Yes".
@evan Yes, most of them are at least decent, but I've had to curate to find the ones I really like. I don't think this is very out of the norm though, so I'd say yes mostly.
@Kaliah who do you really like? Name some names!
@evan People I enjoy following: @FreakyFwoof @pawpower @KaraLG84 @BTyson @MariahL @lulu_bear just to name a few whose posts I enjoy seeing around.
Yes, very much, but sometimes they don't like me. It's usually a misunderstanding.
@evan yes but my god some people. Yesterday I saw someone "well akshually" defend the validity of the word race in a discussion about the genocide of non-whites in Argentina. Like really dude?
@evan Yes, but not all.
@virtuous_sloth who are some good ones?
@evan There are many, especially on our instance! I'll have to think about making lists. And checking them twice.
