"We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion. In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete, we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations."
— Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms, First Series (1845)

#Mastodon peeps:
I know it's in my profile, here, but I guess I need to #repeat myself here.
IF THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOUR ACTIVITY ON MASTODON IS BOOSTING OTHER PEOPLE'S TOOTS WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING ANY OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS THEN PLEASE DO #NOT SEND ME A FOLLOW REQUEST.
I am here to communicate and interact with #people. If I wanted to get involved in the #HateSpeech, #HalfTruth, #BirdsiteBullshit, I'd BE on #twitter
I do not care to read about what other people think based on your #boosts. I am here to interact with #individuals, and I do not need boost after boost after boost after boost diluting my timelines and reducing the SNR to an unmanageable level - like on twitter.
