#equines — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #equines, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @briansullivan #donkeys can live to be 50 years old! Often parents get them for their kids, and they hang around decades longer than the kids do...and eventually need new homes, preferably with other #equines

  2. A #Fediverse tech idea I've been considering for a while.

    Hashtags can sometimes be annoying, right? Their primary application is finding posts related to a certain topic, including following one. Therefore, if I look for "horses", I want to find everything horse-related.

    The following hashtags should therefore lead to the same set of posts:
    - #horse
    - #horses
    - #equines
    - #equine
    - #horsetodon

    Right? But that's not a reality. Some people tag with one of them, with multiple, or with none at all.

    Similarly, #Döner, #Doener and perhaps even #Doner should lead to the same set of posts, right? And what about British-American-splits like how #Localization is #Localisation, and perhaps even #l10n as well? And #LGBT, #LGBTQ, #LBGTQ+, #LGBT+, #LGBTQIA and so on and so on also really should be one hashtag.

    So what to do?

    I propose:
    We should introduce a second symbol for something like "fuzzy hashtags". Not the '#' symbol, but another; perhaps '&' or '~'.

    That way I could tag my post '~horse', and it could appear on all hashtag feeds concerning the different spellings of horses! Or I could search for such a fuzzy hashtag.

    The different variants could be crowdsourced, or overridden by instance mods. You could also opt-out of that system - your posts showing up in fuzzy searches, most likely.

    This would also fix languages like German, where you have many inflected forms: #Männer #Mann #Mannes #Manns #Männern #Männers and so on should all lead to the same result.

  7. So, I have my own opinions on this, but just for fun:

    Which is better (in your opinion): mules, donkeys, or horses?

  13. Here are my 3 very unhappy ponies after having to stand still for way to long while I was plucking out ticks 🤢

    Donkey had to endure this too and didn’t have the time for a picture afterwards. He went off to do donkey business… or something like that :D

  14. Just came back from hanging out with my equine family members. Gave them some scratches and found their manes completely covered in ticks. Yikes 😵‍💫

  15. ''This is the first confirmed #human case reported after more than two decades, since the last reported human cases in #Argentina occurred in 1982/1983 and 1996. #WEE is a rare #mosquito-borne viral #disease that affects #equines and humans. Most human cases are associated with #epidemics in #birds or #horses.''

  17. We had pulled over on side of road to say hello to a #horse & #cows - at a #farm acreage near Thetis Lake #ViewRoyal area.

    I met my friend, Lyrica, when I was starting my competitive paraequestrian training - almost 20 yrs ago. She's a longtime horse person. We both have long & special connection to #equines ❤🐴🐎❤

  18. Owning a #horse is basically the price of a new #drone every two months though. 💸💸💸 I am a martyr to #equines. And #daughters.
