I like your username.

In my case the algorithm bored the heck out of me. I stopped using Facebook since 2015. Even the youtube algorithm has started boring me now and I am happy with newpipe.

I just started using Mastodon. It’s been around 10 days or so. I am already having a lot of good engagement there. I guess “no algorithm” works best for me. I used to get bored of scrolling twitter or even reddit within 15 minutes or so. On Mastodon on certain days I can easily spend 45 minutes or more.

I agree with you on this. According to me the writing and character work is subpar and so I have stayed away from other works by the author. But this series is very popular and I don’t get why that is the case.

So cute. Boop the snoot!

I personally do enjoy world building, but not at the cost of characterisation. So I guess this series is definitely not for me.

Will try that out next.

My day’s going well. Sat for my first online live lecture, which went well without a glitch.

Thanks for posting Bik’s link. Another account to follow!

Me too. Tried the first. Didn’t make much progress.

Red Rising. I tried to like it. Couldn’t get through more than 20%. Seemed very YA and characters seemed very flat.

I started watching star trek in my late thirties. Tried TOS, couldn’t tolerate more than one episode. Then started TNG and fell in love half way through first season. Now I am on Voyager. According to me, it’s a good replacement for me for TNG. Not sure what I will watch once I finish this.

Yes that must have felt great!

Aww that sounds so cute! He boops back!

I have started following hashtag, like books, reading, technology, cats, dogs, etc. I have also started following a few people that I have noticed share content that I am interested in. I am finding interesting content. Also, certain amount of engagement in the comments. So far, a good experience. It’s only been a few days, however.

I either watch a couple of episodes of some of my favourite sitcoms or of star trek TNG/voyager. Or I just open a book like discworld on my ebook reader and listen to it with my eyes closed, through ear phones, especially if I am experiencing eye fatigue.

Look at those radar ears! I want to boop the snoot!

Aww looking like an adorable derp!

I hardly use reddit at this point. I never used twitter. In fact, using the Fediverse got me curious and decided to check out Mastodon. Just been using it for a few days and trying out stuff and must say I am kind of enjoying it.

He is so cute! He is extremely adorable in the third one!
