@davey_cakes @scottjenson Agreed. I'm reminded of a science journalist who turns up about once a year to post one-way toots for a few days before disappearing again. Last time, she complained that she was 'screaming into a void'. Literally hundreds of people replied from 'the void', welcoming her. She responded to 0 of them. 2000 people follow her. She follows 0. She's never replied, boosted or engaged with anyone. Fediverse held the gate wide open for her, but she just shouted at us and left.

@scottjenson I'm not sure this is the best example of Mastodon gatekeeping. I suspect the person you cite (I won't tag him, to not bother him. I follow him. He doesn't follow me) has a different definition of 'engagement' than many on Mastodon. He has 19,000 followers. He follows just over 200. He never ever engages with anyone. He posts one-way toots. He never uses Alt Text. The Fediverse is a chatty place full of engagement, if you choose to take part yourself, to chat, to boost, to reply.

@KalleWirsch Det bliver en blæsende tur! Men smuk - Lolland er så smuk. Tak, og dejlig dag også til dig

@hanktank61 It's big. Well worth a visit.

@benjaminlj @superball Those grass planters on that roof are my laziest cheat for taking a photo of the city. Instagrammable grass. Or rather, Mastodonable.

@KalleWirsch Tak til jer og alle andre, der arbejder på disse helligdage og holder alt kørende. God arbejdslyst, og jeg håber, du får den bedste eftermiddag og aften derefter

@hanktank61 They do. There are more bells than this single one, I just happen to a photo of this one surprisingly handy.

@lykkebrammer Hvor er du sød - that was kind of you, tusind tak Happy Second EasterDay - I hope you have a good week

@superball The clouds look a bit fake, I think.

Glædelig Mandag. It is Monday. Easter Monday. Or if you want to be Danish about it: Second Easter Day. 'Anden Påskedag.' In case you don't speak Danish, that's pronounced 'I've Got Monday Off'. Here’s a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.

@plwt Perhaps!

@Devils_Rancher

@pilum Precisely!

@eniatitova 1950s - a great decade for graphics and posters. I assume the Cornwall seagull warning sign is much more recent, as I think seagullduggery is a more recent phenomenon.

@eniatitova Oh wow, they really do echo one another. Assuming the San Francisco sign is older, maybe someone at the council in Cornwall knew it and was inspired by it. That Scenic Drive sign is cool - I love the graphics of it. Thanks for sharing it.

@notsoloud That'd keep me away. Scarier than dragons. So much more screeching, and less interesting.

@KatS Not a bad auld life, really. A nice screech, some chips, relax and enjoy the view.

@McSquank This is it

@NousZLD Ha yes, it would be!
