my mastodon's routine:
1) open the notication tab
2) reply to all new mentions, sometimes only boost/fav those when i couldn't think of any reply
3) open the local timeline
4) welcome new users, react to people's toots (reply, boost, fav)
5) open the federation timeline
6) do number 4
7) do everything all over again from number 1-6
8) (optional) toot something that comes accross my mind
@Samizdata wow, you answer all the toots in this fediverse? interesting. i assume that you spend more time on this site rather than on the other social media networks, as exploring the whole fediverse is pretty much time consuming.
@y This amused me greatly. A festive of repetitive feast.
@Michael_Spencer yes, but i don't usually reach toots that has been posted more than 2 hours (except in my local timeline). how about you? what's your routine on this site?
@y I'm too new to have a routine, but I suspect it would be similar for sure.
@Michael_Spencer yeah, this routine is a way to engage with the other users in fediverse imo.
@y I pretty much ignore my local stream, I'm a definate Fed watcher. I appreciate the randomness of the people watching.
@Michael_Spencer why do you ignore your local timeline, though? yes i agree that exploring the fed timeline is fun, i've learned so many new things there.
@y Typically because my notification tweet is ringing. And if I spam the Fed, I'm finding it's not so more ridiculous than the stream of randomness, luckily for me. So the lefty local feed gets ignored by default of my speedy rapture, rather than any form of true neglect on my part.
. @y I love watching the feed flow in. I know that the content:spam ratio will decline in time, but for now, it's *lovely*! 👍✅
@Wikisteff i agree with you, the number of spam is growing but we can still read the real toots comfortably. :D
@y Mine is pretty much
1] Open the site.
2] Boost anything that catches my attention as good.
3] Answer ALL THE TOOTS!
