As the user/follower counts continue to grow, I think Mastodon will eventually be my go-to social media space.

Still curating my feed, though, muting overzealous bloggers and silencing chronic rebloggers. I'm hoping for original content, not reblogs, except in special circumstances. We will find the sweet spot, thanks to the help from those who have offered pointers and tips to this newbie user.

So far, so good.

Complaint about too liberal hashtag usage

I like the (relatively new) ability to follow hashtags. But the hashtag "hamradio" is frequently used for non-hamradio-related content, or, to be more precise, content where I cannot see the connection to amateur radio. Maybe in the author, but not in the post itself. That I don't like.

I'm afraid I'll have to un-follow it because of too much QRM. 😢
