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.

@skyfaller @paparatti I have some hope that our federated moderation practices would make something like that a lot harder to pull off than on a centralized platform.

@paparatti Sadly I don't have any moss around me to take photos of, but I find that posting silly photos of my dog has a similar effect.

@paparatti are you trying to say that what people like in these pictures is the moss?

Kate Moss in 2025, aged 51.
We're all getting older and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

@jef @paparatti Thanks! This reminded me of the round patch of orange lichen at the bottom of a wall I had to photograph last week during a trip to Belgium. And the moss strip just over the waterline in the canals of Brugge! Is there some subtle fedi influence going on? I can not remember taking any #lichensubscribe or #Mosstodon pictures before.
