A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Will we ever learn to use reason instead of force in the world, and will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1939-10-16), “My Day”

@elsua54 Agree on that also.

I think we do have plenty of people "already there" (in my eyes) and "made it" as far as #software, #tools and having enough #fans, a #tribe, #following etc -

But somehow the people-loving side or ironically communication sides are still the vital Tetris piece missing from all these below!

A quotation from Hoffer

The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves. Surrender to a leader is not a means to an end but a fulfillment. Whither they are led is of secondary importance.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 94 (3.14.94) (1951)

#Following the world today, preoccupied with the war in Iran, Gaza is once again left on the sidelines. The crossings are opening sparingly, barely enough to sustain the people and meet their most basic needs. There is no new development in the Gaza Strip file… silence prevails, as if the Strip has been erased from the world's calculations. Temporarily, until the war in Iran ends, there is no talk of withdrawal, no solutions, and not even of the fate of more than two million people living under

I don’t try to cultivate a big follower list, I didn’t do that on Twitter, and don’t do it here. Regardless, in 3 years on Mastodon, I have managed to nearly double the number of followers that I had on Twitter. So that’s cool. Thanks. :)

I don’t really understand why that result is different as the way I interact is basically the same… following people that follow me and vice versa. And occasionally, a yearly basis?, I find myself unfollowing people and resources for various reasons.

On Twitter, the unfollowing was mostly because so many accounts seemed to be fake or bots. But here it is more about curation. It is so much easier to get good content on the Fediverse from many vectors, people yes, but also hashtags, lists, federated blogs, aggregators, and the like. Following people is less crucial.

It is an under appreciated advantage of the Fediverse and #opensocial web that starts to break what I feel is one of the most destructive aspects of traditional social media I call: The Illusion of Popularity

From adolescence we are often taught that being universally “followed” or “admired” for good or ill means you have more worth.

But is that really true? In Real Life, is a person with one good friend automatically better than one with many friends? Or is it more about your impact in the community or just impact on yourself and those you choose to interact with?

Afterall there is nothing wrong with cultivating your own obscurity. Some people seek that out.

Perhaps, if the #opensocialweb is truly successful, there will be little nooks and crannies of it that will host those folks who just want to… be.

Introverts, hermits, lurkers, “the silent masses”….whatever you might label them, there is nothing wrong with them, they just are. Traditional social media was built to convince us that everyone has to be important, an influencer, a leader, when many many of us, just want to be.

I hope the #Fediverse can be a place where both of those types of people can thrive.

It's the end of the year & the time when I cull out the dormant accounts from my few followers.

Just did it & reduced my small following from 215 to an even smaller set of 185 by deleting all of the followers on my list who have not been active since July 2025.

I require manual approval of all follow requests & have gotten some very odd (to me) follow requests recently.

I am NOT a "collector of followers (aka "friends")" & I am not interested in allowing anyone who appears to be one. So, I automatically reject any request to follow me who has what I consider an inordinate number of accounts that they follow.

I also only approve follow request those from people or organizations who have posted anything of interest to me & with whom it appears that I have something in common.

This has resulted in a very limited & IMO much more interesting list of followers.
