 Eventually, if you post enough about your nerdy obsessions, people will start pinging you with news and developments in that area, and I (completely unironically) think that's beautiful 
 @e7f76f0d I live in anticipation of finding something useful enough. 
 @e7f76f0d That would be great! Although even back on twitter I felt like I was shouting into the wind most of the time. That's why I moved over to Reddit. But now that Reddit has gone the way of Twitter. Lemmy has taken its place, but Lemmy has a different GUI and only a few GUI enhancements that change it to look like Old Reddit, and the Lemmy apps are all still in their infancy... So I end up back on Mastodon, which is great, but feels like Twitter again. 
 @e7f76f0d @88dcfa17 It’s one of my favourite parts about Mastodon! 
 @e7f76f0d this is funny - someone just an hour ago posted “just do your things, quit posting about them!”, but they used a lot more scoldy words. I personally think it’s fun to share my things. Haven’t gotten pinged yet but maybe someday. 
 @e7f76f0d disclaimer: your mileage may vary.

 @e7f76f0d It's how I learned about Space Station 13/14 (see? I'm doing it right now!)
