There is only one way to get a ton of likes on your Mastodon post. You must find a decades old piece of technology that only 12 people in the world own and write a 10,000 word essay on how to use it.

@lowqualityfacts Objection your honor! Stumbled over the quote and shared it during a break. 😁
@lowqualityfacts You mean, like the Jinjo Ito pinball machine?
@lynessence @lowqualityfacts ... or post lots of cat pics.
@lowqualityfacts That won't get you likes so much as it will get you 24 people telling you how you're doing it wrong.
How you get 24 people when only 12 in the entire world have ever even heard of that tech is utterly beyond me, but that's what happens.
@lowqualityfacts I do that daily with Palm Pilots and nothing yet
@lowqualityfacts Me posting about something to do with obscure old tech: 6 likes and a couple of boosts (maybe double that with some well-chosen hashtags)
Me posting *any cat picture*: 20+ likes, 10+ boosts, and I don't even need the hashtags. Hashtags might put it over 100 of each.
@lowqualityfacts Well, or find a cool patch of moss
@lowqualityfacts At which point you will get
- a post from someone who is now running doom on it
- a post from someone who has it playing bad apple
- 8 posts from people suggesting you use Linux instead
@lowqualityfacts ...in a single toot, no less.
If only I had held onto my Exidy Sorcerer.
@lowqualityfacts Oh, I could repurpose my 7000 word essay on RS-232 into 500 toots. Onto it :-)
@lowqualityfacts AND don't forget to misspell something for ectra toots!
Throw in some unsolicited tax advice and I'm certain you will have a winner!
@lowqualityfacts
Add cat pics and double the boosts 👍
@lowqualityfacts Objection! That's a high quality fact.
