   People over on #Bluesky are talking about following everyone who follows you like its your duty and bigger account NEED to follow back smaller ones. Its a whole weird ethics code of conduct I've never heard of before. Here on the #fediverse (#mastodon) we don't do anything like that, maybe because of the lack of an algorithm so nothing goes viral (using a bridge to bluesky). We follow and promote who we like, and people who chase clout here are sorely disappointed. Too many good boring ordinary people here to follow for that kind of things.

     @anubis2814 I've mostly been seeing messages to block the trolls and don't give them traction, also to check out block lists of bad actors arriving from the birdsite. Also, how not having an algorithm is nice. Guess it depends on who you're following?

     But, I remember here a few years ago when people where encouraged to follow everyone who liked your toots/posts to help fill out follows. Maybe that was just a Mastodon thing?

     @anubis2814 Yeah, definitely lots of ideas floating around in those days-- workable or not. Seems to be a thing with new social media networks or networks getting a huge surge of new people. 😅

     I will say, I'm not eager to recreate the big following I had on the birdsite. I'll let that die with my account.

     @silver_huskey Yeah I don't remember that but it might have been a twitter carryover, so much crazy was happening during the migration some ideas people were pushing for never lasted because it wasn't feasible.
