So

In exchange for not being found by any means, we don't get added into #Gargron's latest gimmick to push @Mastodon dot Social over 282,000 Active Users

For that's all this is: Gargron's obsession with "Masto is tooo hard to use" which got dropped on him by the @verge in very early 2023, and he's never recovered

Maybe the #ShortTimers and the #Weekenders need to spend more than 15 minutes on a Saturday so they can learn how #Mastodon works...

Ya think?

Or nah?

@davetron5000

Exactly, and link-pasting is exactly what I've done ever since I got on #Mastodon

#QuotePosting was an enormous #MoralPanic about four years ago because #Twitter had it and #Mastodon didn't and all the big techy-bro rags convinced #Gargron that he was discouraging new migrants from Twitter because Mastodon didn't have #QuotePosts

Took 'em about three years to do it, and everyone pretty much ignored quote posts when they were finally implemented, a lot because people could opt-out if they wanted and no one took them seriously

IMO, YMMV...

"This report, in contrast, is the opposite: It shows you 'account growth' and top x% Mastodon user' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""

Necessary edit:

"This report ... shows you 'those #DopamineHit' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""

I thought Mastodon was always about detoxing from #Dopamine

Apparently #Gargron et al want to join the Kool Kidz Klub and have #Mastodon be just like #YouTube and #Instagram and #Twitter and #Twitch and all the rest of the #Influencer hangouts

Here's me, 2025 from Twitch.

Whoopee!

Aren't I too cool for school?

@pieist

Just beginning to see #Wrapstodon / #YearInReview rear its ugly head

Apparently the bright idea of #Gargron and #Renchap et al to make #Mastodon more like where all the Cool Kidz hang out

See; "End of the year recap # 22658"

"It would be cool to make something like Reddit Recap or Spotify Wrapped. That say to you at the end of the year some cool stats about your profile during that year that you can share with your friends or your followers."

Here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22658#issuecomment-3655620471

Renchap: "This has been implemented and will be there for all users in Mastodon 4.6."

You seem to be on the #Mastodon #Nightly v4.6.0-nightly.2025-12-15

Doing a little beta-testing for the Mastodon devs

I've already transcribed it into a Filter

@ladyteruki

Yeah I was watching it and wondering what its scope and content would be

#Gargron et al have always been suckers for mainstreaming Mastodon by adopting the most common eye-candy bling

(See, as one: #QuotePosts)

Right now I *could* download my 2025 Year-in-Review for Youtube, Twitch, Twitter, Github, etc etc

So here comes #Mastodon, always trying to stay up with All The Cool Kids

BTW I haven't seen that yet: is this on mobile of some sort?

Or it may be in the nightly that Masto dot Social is always running

*Edit*

Yeah, here it is: "End of the year recap # 22658"

I think I need to work on

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64876086

querying is case sensitive...so if you query for

Mastodon address
=
[email protected]

then you won't find it if you searched for

[email protected]

Here, look at these 2 queries, attaching them both...

It's about how Mastodon address (P4033) property values are entered as data and how we can query them and how it works in case sensitive which could make querying easy or hard...

"…on our instances…"

Do note that this is utterly irrelevant to everyone *not* on our boy #Gargron's #Mastodon mothership instance(s)
