What if a social network were simply social instead of a platform for ROI hidden between fauxlksy conversational marketing?
WHAT IF WE WERE JUST WHO WE ARE IN A PLACE FULL OF WELCOMING AND KIND STRANGERS?

Mastodon is the only social network I've seen where posts get more shares than likes. Typically it's the other way around.

It might be premature to draw some pious conclusion about how Mastodon users are more interested in actively sharing other people's ideas, but that does kind of seem to fit with the spirit of the community so far.

Japanese love emoji because their language is already conveyed primarily through ideograms.

The Latin alphabet in a pictographic English could be used for supplementary purposes, like katakana and hirigana are in Japanese.

As a random bonus fact: hirigana was originally a script only for women in Japan, centuries ago.
