Zen Proverbs (@ZenProverbs)Everyone is different, so it's hard to tell if someone's recommendation fits another person. Here's what I do though to manage my experience. I have a private list (that no-one can see) and add only a select group of people. That list changes over time as my own interests and other people change too. This weeds out destructive and negative content and helps interact with interesting people.

I intend to get back into it, but I am finding 99% of content to be utterly vapid, self serving and misdirecting.
In contrast, I have always enjoyed twitter links posted here, even on esoteric topics. So I wanted to ask - who do you follow on Twitter where you get true intellectual or emotional value?
Also happy to get recommendations for Mastodon servers and people!
