    Twitter or any “microblog”.

    I don’t understand why “following” a person/organisation would be interesting. I would rather follow a topic/community.

      You can do that. But certain voices carry extra weight within communities.

      I followed today’s Formula 1 race on both Threads and Mastodon. Both platforms allow you to follow topics and that’s what I did. But then I follow the people I find interesting as well

        I was really rooting for Yuki the most and he lost so many places 😭
        granted they did switch something up on him without preparing him for it but still

        otherwise man I hope the FIA learns something from this race, it was bloody horrible. I would’ve had a more entertaining time going to church with my father and listening to someone preach for an hour and a half 🙃

          You can tell it’s a shit race when the coverage is mostly showing people in 14th-18th position. Normally I like Spa, and I like wet GPs because they’re unpredictable. But this was a procession. Not as bad as Monaco, but nearly.

      Agree. When I was on Twitter I followed local bars, restaurants, and music venues for info on events and happy hours. No humans.
