Notes on starter packs: what I like about Mastodon (and previously on Twitter to some extent). I like the community building as an active process. That is, discovering people by reading hashtags and interacting with them (or hoping to learn from them). This is an active process, which runs counter to the parasocial influencer stuff you get elsewhere. In this context, people are free to follow, but not free to expect interactions with me if they are not constructive.
