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.

@Pedi @paparatti damn, I came here to make that joke but you beat me to it

@paparatti I've actually been sitting on some (previously unpublished) macro photographs of moss, so lets give this a shot
@paparatti I didn't doubt you, but even so, I'm amazed by the magnitude of the effect

@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.

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