It is deeply funny to me that Mastodon is a place where AI bros cry because they can't get any traction, but a single picture of moss can give anyone, no matter their other content or follower count, positive feedback for the rest of time.

@paparatti #mosstodon is a thing.

@lysdexic @paparatti man that's good moss

[walsonde@antifa.style]

@paparatti The fediverse is good. That's why it will pass. Nothing good stays. Everything good goes away eventually.

@paparatti Next time I touch grass - or in this case, moss - I might try it ​

[skyfaller@jawns.club]

@paparatti Don't jinx it, they'll just spam AI-generated slop images of moss until people give up on following mosstodon

[brett_e_carlock@mastodon.online]

@paparatti
For real.

Or a windturbine.

Place slaps.

@paparatti @algernon my dude. It's moss.

@paparatti - I was talking with an #instagram friend about some irritating reply on Mastodon from the other day and they said "Oh, you need to give the algorithm feedback if you don't want to see that type of thing" and I just said ... there is no algorithm.. and you could see the mixed look of awe and horror at the thought. #mastodon

@paparatti lichen subscribe etc...

[wtl@mastodon.social]

@paparatti They're so used to algorithmic manipulation helping them get popular, they have no idea how to deal with out it.

[lrt_writes@mstdn.party]

@paparatti There's something so soothing about moss 🥰

[hungryjoe@functional.cafe]

@paparatti I've actually been sitting on some (previously unpublished) macro photographs of moss, so lets give this a shot

@paparatti If you insist.

[paparatti@phire.place]

@hungryjoe hashtag it! It needs the #mosstodon final touch!

[hungryjoe@functional.cafe]

@paparatti That wasn't part of your original pitch

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@mxchara @paparatti

now we must test the sound dampening qualities of moss

[paparatti@phire.place]

@hungryjoe that's the part you're supposed to work out by yourself! Everything gets a hashtag, for your own sanity and the good of someone else's organic search.

Enjoy the moss

[darkphoenix@universeodon.com]

@paparatti and I love it....

[leadore@sunny.garden]

@paparatti
How about a digital block of moss. It is moss, yet it is artificial! What will happen? What would John Mastodon do?
