@gargron I just saw this on joinmastodon.org: «Without an incentive to sell you things, Mastodon allows you to consume content you enjoy uninterrupted.» I wondered whether we can change “consume content you enjoy” to something more human like “read posts you enjoy”. Or “see the things you enjoy: posts, pictures, videos, comments, it’s all there.”
@kensanata
Perhaps "engage with content"
@Gargron
@kensanata @Gargron
I don't like "consume" 🤔
@saper Maciej Cegłowski’s blog posts/talks are great and this one is, too!
@kensanata looks like there are a couple of new ones I need to read/see!
@kensanata is 100% right. No content. No consumption. We are having conversations here. And many if not most a true creators.
Maciej Cegłowski has an excellent description of the problem:
