For #FollowFriday, I want to highlight @economics@a.gup.pe, a new group that @GhostOnTheHalfShell is bringing to life to talk about, in case it is not obvious, #economics that goes beyond the bullshit and is actually useful.
Once you step outside the mainstream neoclassical (or orthodox) models, there really is a lot of value!
However, all too often people only hear about the terrible ideas from neoliberal economists (who are actively destroying the world, perhaps intentionally).
It's #FollowFriday: If you love #science and #STEM follow @animalculum !
He always has a fascinating mix of studies and articles that bring you back the big Aww!
@Flipboard has a variety of Magazines (topical collections) that you can easily follow on Mastodon. For science geeks, here are just a few you might consider:

In a poll we ran a couple of months ago, people said they’d love to see us feature more history-related content. So for this Follow Friday, we’re sharing a few @Flipboard Magazines (topical feeds of content) about the past, from @curiouscurator’s collection about the Roman and Byzantine empires, to @mental_floss’s quirky stories about medieval dog names and who discovered Uranus.
This week, we continue our #followfriday tradition. Each week, we introduce you to 5 random people and organisations who are on Mastodon, and whose blogs we follow on Feedle. This way, we can help great people discover each other more easily.
For #FollowFriday I warmly recommend @susankayequinn AND her #books.
I appreciate the author's posts very much. And she writes #HopePunk, #CliFi, and #SolarPunk. I had not really an idea what is hidden behind these labels. I've been tiptoeing around the genres for months, worried that it might be too pedagogical, not literary enough.
Then I discovered her #shortStories. Now I'm hooked. Try it, you won't regret it! I want more now. 😊 @reading
Made a second object for throws. This flare is not for lighting, because the protagonist has a flashlight... this item is a tool to distract the creatures that live on this planet
I know the real answer is reddit but I really don’t want to go back now that I’ve already grown used to life without it. I was hoping for Lemmy to be a viable substitute but it isn’t. I can see how this place is wonderful for the certain type of person but that person is not me. My experience during the past 6+ months has...
I didn’t want my feed to be an endless stream of news or other languages. So first I joined a smaller server, with a topic I care about.
Then I followed a few journalists, and followed tags I care about like cycling, my hometown, tech news relevant to me, and TV shows.
Lastly after I had that base of content… I went looking for people. When someone posts something I like, I check their other posts… do I like those too? If he’s then I look at who they follow. Big accounts usually don’t follow a lot of others. This is endless but really gave me a consistent group of people who I care what they think and say.
Not easy but worth the time over the course of a week or two.
Also I watched the #followfriday tag where people lost accounts they follow and why.
Also, look at the top accounts lists that exist. Threads accounts have millions of followers so it’s a good bet it’ll be good.
Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?
