One of the best ways to grow your #Mastodon experience is to treat this place like a party. If there's a popular Toot, climb in and meet the people replying. You get great follow ideas that way.
Ask a question about someone's Toot. People appreciate the genuine curiosity.
Remember, you can follow hashtags.
Ask people if they know anyone following others with the same interest. Check out their followers. It takes time ... but it's so rewarding.

THIS IS RUSSIA!
Russian propagandists rejoice about strikes on Odesa and call to repeat them many times.
They are happy about deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure and prospective global food shortage.
Despicable, Vile Creatures

No voting in this town for the last 60 years, specifically to prevent black people from voting. Locks being changed to prevent the one black firefighter from saving black property. Illegally preventing the black mayor from taking office, changing locks burning documents.
This is Jim crow shit happening right now.

Let me explain what I mean by "Same 50 dudes."
Yes there are 1000s of local people that disrupted school board meetings. But the PB leadership travelled and was present at many of these, instigated much of the violence, and was at the center of it.
There were thousands of people at Jan 6. The violence was precipitated and agitated by members of 3 or 4 very specific groups.

Trying to tell the story without mentioning them is not good journalism.
Poll for fellow neuroscience-adjacent researchers: Where are you spending most of your #SocialMedia time?
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
