Seems about right. I wish I added "Lists" as an option, that might account for a big chunk of "Something else", I'd imagine.

Thanks everyone for voting and sharing!

@josemurilo Ah, I have to get into habit of using them again.

I stopped for a while when it was discovered that on Mastodon, when an account moves, they're removed from any lists you added them to. (That should be fixed now.)

I mostly just see older posts boosted into my timeline. Sometimes I browse hashtags, but being on a single user instance, this typically requires third party tools, or going to mastodon.social to be useful.

Every month, magazines such as PC Pro carried CDs from faceless [Internet Service Provider]s desperate to bag sign-ups, but there was one ISP that was radically different from the rest, spearheaded by a man who was used to shifting millions of CDs of his own."

"The people of the Fediverse - compared to people on mainstream social media - also exhibit a high degree of digital media literacy: they are keenly aware of surveillance capitalism, adtech, and the harvesting of private user data to train AI models."

On 26 September 1983, Stanislav Petrov, an engineer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces, prevented an all out nuclear war.

"First, it was just one missile, but then another, and another, until the system reported that a total of five Minuteman ICBMs had been launched."
