Poor Hershey; I wonder how their CEO will ever afford his fifth yacht now?

That's pretty silly; moaning on the Internet is a good way to raise awareness and support. No one can do anything about these structural issues as individuals

Because they already have a real job, and now they're being screwed by their employer, just like a real job

Of course there's an X in the name

Do you mean nothing as in your feed has barely any posts? Or nothing as is there's no one interesting to follow?

The police are the thugs and gang bangers; now they'll have to do their harassment without the sanction of the law behind them

Tech workers have no right to be angry. Unionize or shut up. (Excluding all the supportive tech workers, including those in the comments.) Source: am a tech worker

To get a good feed on Mastodon, you have to set it up yourself. The best way to do this, as others have mentioned, is to choose a few hashtags of interest and follow them. This will show posts from accounts talking about those things, at which point you should start following accounts liberally (you can always unfollow later). Those accounts, in turn, will "boost" posts from people they follow, which is how you get exposed to the conversations happening there.

It's this process for populating your feed with content that's interesting to you that many people find intimidating. The down side is that you don't automatically get fed content like on Twitter; the up side is that you have a lot more control over what content you see.
