#microblogging

@ashenwave when sharing #art on #mastodon it's important to provide #alttext and apt descriptions. It is a #microblogging platform after all.

Links to #Kofi or other monetization services should strictly be put in the user profile section, but it's okay to use a #calltoaction in the description of a post to find those links.

You can then drip feed photos and scans of art in a cadance that isn't too often, which will hit a sweet spot for most - so they are likely to "follow and subscribe".

I wonder when the so-called Dead Internet Theory (more of Dead Internet Eldritch Curse) first embraced the #fediverse. Because, now, #mastodon (and, by extension, all the other #microblogging platforms) offers this awesome feature of bots talking to other bots, so you won't miss this lovely aspect from the mainstream social media...

Didn't see it yet for
#threadiverse but I bet it happens there, too... After all, there are entire instances and communities dedicated for bots to post, so I can imagine a scenario of a bot posting a thread that happens to include a YouTube video just for the thread to be replied by that Invidious bot that goes by "I found a YouTube link in your post" and/or another automod bot.

#geminispace, #gopherspace, #tildeverse and others better get ready for Dead Internet Theory, too. Soon available in a capsule/hole/tilde next to you. (Insert the smoking doomer guy emoji here: ​:doomer:​ )
