True.
Not all accounts are "talkative", but when a brand new account follows me, it makes me wonder if the account is just a pathway to other instances for the instance.
Following back is my typical behavior, but such a blank account (just a couple of boosts, no posts) makes me think twice. I try to engage with the new person, hoping for the chance to make a workable connection.
Just the way I roll, I guess.

You've followed, thanks.
What's next?
A profile...
Some posts...
Engagement...

Time traveling twenty years on:
The roadway we used to run
now is wrecked and rotten,
all potholes and rubbish
Someone more cynical
might make some connection
between that place and this
but all I remember,
upon return to the scene of the time,
is the first moment we kissed

Absorb its magnificence and then...
...write about it!

Wow!
That's a beast of a pillbug.

Let me tell you all a story
About a dog, a man,
And a magnificent promontory.
Well, that was the plan.
(I'm too busy right now.)

Even critters need love!

Certainly do not rush on my account!
Good luck with your projects.
Vai bene.

Ah!
I guess I cannot trust all that I read on the Internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The book offered me many ideas to ponder.
It was two years ago, so I don't have details fresh in my mind.
I did enjoy thinking about a world without scarcity, but one which seemed achievable.

Did she not care about Free Software?

LibrePlanet is very much a Free Software event. Actual people, not all with beards (though I do have one).

I guess you have never attended the LibrePlanet conference in Boston.

But, did you also see the 500 char. rhyme? Rhymes are hard to trim, don't you think?

It is not a linear track
As I daily wander back
To find the fine things written
While my brain, with sleep, was smitten.
Still, it's not random reading
Cool hashtags help with leading
Me through the thoughtful postings.
We use guideposts, as with most things.
There's frivolity and mirth
In that, I do find worth.
Mix in some metaphor and rhyme.
With that I'll take my time.
Because it is the fediverse
We're without the steady curse
Of harming words and hate.
Without a doubt that's really great!

Hey, I have a blind friend who might want to join us on the Fediverse. Does anyone have a guide to accessibility etc that might be more useful than me just sending her a link to an instance?

I do not know exactly why, but I cannot help thinking Ketel One Botanicals is a cosmetic product.
