   French educator Luois Braille was born #OTD in 1809. He was the inventor of a reading and writing system named after him, braille, intended for use by visually impaired people.

   At just 15 years old, Braille began refining Barbier's system, developing a code based on a six-dot cell structure that allowed for efficient representation of letters, numbers, and even musical notation.

   And I guess what all of this has revealed is the brokenness of our political culture and government, the corruption, and the extent of the apathy and contempt they have for ordinary people.

   At every point in this system, there are veto points for preventing progress. But corruption and authoritarianism breeze right on through.

   I'm not using twitter/mastodon commercially, so i don't want to come down to hard on people who are worried for their income.
   But i've had similar experiences re followers: it grows pretty fast when you write some toots and follow some people.

   At Twitter i had to build from scratch, but here i could start by following a few dozen other accounts from the twexodus, who alerted me to other cool accounts, etc etc.

   There will always be some people who somehow 'hacked' the twitter-algoritm to perfection and won't find the same succes on mastodon. But i think that most people will find the mastodon-experience equal to or even better than Twitter.
