I mainly post about:
• #transit and #urbanism
• #retrocomputing and #retrogaming
• #Apple (#iPhone and #Mac) things
• Life in #Montreal (often from the perspective of a #Brit)
• U.K. and Canadian politics (sorry)
• Photos of my #cats

So apparently Friday was the coldest morning of the year, so naturally I spent the AM hours taking a hike through one of the city’s urban parks.

First time I’ve been published on @lonrec@mastodon.london which is quite the honour! Give it a read if you’re wondering what fate has in store for one of England’s oddest transit systems: https://londonreconnections.com/farewell-to-the-stansted-people-mover/

Question: When sharing something on Mastodon, do you tag the creator or not?

Heliomass
@heliomass@mstdn.ca

My own thoughts on this (please read after voting)

I feel for me I want sharing content to be an altruistic act, because something you saw was cool or thought provoking and you want more people to see it.

I used to tag the creator, but realised I don’t want sharing something to be a thing which draws attention to myself (I should be making my own stuff to share if I want that!)

That said, sometimes the creator likes to know people are appreciating and sharing their hard work?
