Follow / pin active hashtags. I have 4, #news #nintendo #xbox and #playstation. I’m a simple man

There's some of that, but I prefer it for something like micro blogging. I want to see different things, points of view. By contrast, I'll go to a news site for specific info. I love Mastodon because there's a unvarnished stream of information that isn't curated by algorithms. :D
