"So effort put into finding your people will not go to waste."
Well put, let me see if I can add this in there somehow.
Also, would you care to share your concerns about the wording?
Between not really being much of a writer, and English not being my first language, I would certainly appreciate constructive feedback!

@stefan It鈥檚 okay! As a fellow non-native English speaker I can relate, and you鈥檙e doing really well
What made me raise an eyebrow was that the center argument of the short post is the Mutual Aid culture, because even if the solidarity is a great thing it鈥檚 putting a lot of emphasis on the money/donation side; while I feel like there is room for plenty more arguments. Obviously I know you said this in good faith; and I think the paragraph would have been completely fine as part of a bigger piece, that might be just it
In any case, thank you for what you鈥檙e doing!

Some other arguments that speak to me:
- Less saturation: You鈥檙e not competing as much for people鈥檚 attention, which for me remove the pressure to join trends and challenges and just focus on the work
- Old content and reposts are welcome: since there is no algorithm to punish you for posting the same content people are genuinely happy to see your old art again or a piece they missed in their chronological feed. No need to grind to get something out
- More ways to express yourself: especially relevant to Instagram people, but the ability to post text, polls and links is really freeing; and all of that again without algo punishment

@NIGHTEN I see, this makes sense.
I'm a bit hesitant to make significant changes to something people have been adding their "signature" to, after the fact, but perhaps I can add some of this to https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/how-to-join-mastodon/, which I ahead link to.
Thank you for all your feedback, really appreciate it!

@stefan Ah yes of course I thought the same about the signature; it鈥檚 completely okay, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the topic
And that鈥檚 a cool blog you have here btw! Take care

@NIGHTEN Thank you, very kind of you to say!
