Richard Porson (1759 - 1808) offers wisdom on Fediverse etiquette. Samuel Rogers in his Tabletalks and Recollections (1859) quotes this:
"Had I a carriage, and did I see a well-dressed person on the road, I would always invite him in, and learn of him what I could."
Clearly:
- "carriage" = "my Fedi account";
- "well-dressed person" = "a pleasant Fedi participant";
- "invite him in" = "boost their posts and follow their account".#SamuelRogers #RichardPorson #MastodonCulture
