For those who miss doomscrolling on Twitter:

what's the most despicable tech company, retoot for exposure

Hi, I am Heydon. I am named after the village Heydon in Norfolk but was not conceived there.

I am a web interface designer, frontend dev consultant, and technical writer for design systems. You may have read one of my books or learned algorithmic CSS from https://every-layout.dev. I write, narrate, and soundtrack videos about the web here: https://briefs.video.

I also record antifascist sludge/garage punk/blues/doom metal as Death Garage (https://deathgarage.bandcamp.com/).

Quick tip: if you've found someone cool on Mastodon, no you haven't, you've found SEVERAL cool someones — go through their retoots and follows to populate your timeline.

You can always unfollow later 😎

Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.

Ah I forgot about pinafore.social
