   Power structures won't collapse *solely* because of new models, but I definitely see them as a way to help change the system by providing a new path to follow.

   To highlight this, I'd point to the move to abolish the police. I think that was held back by not having a good alternative model to the broken system we have. I think that stalled that movement in many ways.

   New models give us a direction to make progress towards and point out issues of the current system.

   A good way to discover interesting posts on here is to follow hashtags. When you do this, posts with the tags will start showing up in your timeline even from accounts you don't follow.

   To follow a hashtag, just search for the hashtag and then click the "Follow" button.

   This works on the web interface and most apps, but not the official Android app. Android users will need a third party app like Tusky or Fedilab or Megalodon.

   Lots more info about hashtag following:

   If you see a padlock icon ? next to someone's name on Mastodon, this means they've got follow requests switched on.

   When you try to follow such an account, a follow request will be sent to the account owner who will have to manually approve your follow.

   To cancel a follow request, press the follow button again (it will have turned into a "Cancel follow request" button when the request was made).

   You can switch this feature on for your own account by going to Edit Profile > Require Follow Requests, tick the box and click "Save Changes". (To switch it off, untick and save.)

   People do this to restrict who can follow them, sometimes just to weed out spammers but sometimes because they only want certain kinds of accounts following them.

   If someone has specific requirements for their followers, they'll usually state them in their profile biog text. It's worth reading this before sending a follow request.
