"His qualities were beauteous as his form,
For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free;
Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm
As oft 'twixt May and April is to see,
When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be."
"Now for our mountain sport: up to yond hill;
Your legs are young; I'll tread these flats.
...
O, this life
Is nobler than attending for a cheque,
Richer than doing nothing for a bauble,
Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk"

What have you lovely people got planned for the weekend? Perhaps a #SilentSunday, a walk with your #dogsofmastodon or maybe watching your favourite #MastodonFC side in action? After a loopy #ChampionsLeague week with work, I hope to be doing all of the above and more! Here’s to some ☀️! Enjoy peeps
Unlike the commercial platforms, there is no algorithm here pushing things into your feed (including trolls & bots). So what you see is 100% based on:
who you follow
what you RT
what hashtags you use and follow
(Yes, you can follow hashtags here!)
It's customary to post an #IntroductionToot using that hashtag. Tell a bit about yourself & your interests. (You can hashtag keywords for better visibility to other accounts.)
It can take a while to build a following, but your feed will be more positive than on other platforms, with NO ads.
Posts here are called "toots" (because the logo is a Mastodon)
