    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?

  3. @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!

    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."

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

    Doing a little beta-testing for the Mastodon devs

    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

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

  17. I think I need to work on

    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...

    i saved it because i figured it was an important piece of fedi history, and it's now a regular feature on my pirate radio station #vantaradio lol

    [I'm already hating myself for even bothering to beat this damned dead horse again]

    "Making quote posts opt-in basically means that it will be hardly ever used, so why even bother investing all the time to develop it in the first place?"

    #QuotePosts on #Mastodon have been made opt-in (the user decides whether their posts may be quote posted or not) thus preventing (as the most prevalent example) the dog-piling by armies of angry misogynist incel males who used to broadcaast a woman's post to a cc list of their angry misogynist incel male 'brothers' so the bros could execute a wholesale assault

    I witnessed this scores of times on Twitter

    You missed it? Or didn't care?

    None of this may concern you, but at least #Gargron and the Mastodon devs had the sense to make their concerns known (what? two years ago?) and not just rush in to unleashing this weapon on demand

    The 'demand' coming from 99% males, not surprisingly

    You can still quote post; just opt-out from any controls, or don't use them

  26. CW: Asking good people to make more good people, but not quite getting there... #Quote + My life aims explained...

    #Quote from a measurably good person 🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 @freemo showing well what I mean:

    :airquote: "I agree that to really improve #society it requires one on one #care, #help, and #attention between people.

    The only thing to keep in mind is QOTO, and the greater #nonprofit around it, has a mission that has always been very STEM oriented.

    What you propose (@freeschool) is great, and if you ever do it ill be happy to support you in what little ways my bandwidth might allow.

    But ultimately as a place with a #FOSS #STEM mission that is ultimately where our focus has and always will #lie.

    I'm always happy for a chat when I can find the time, I appreciate your views." :airquote:

    ====================

    (#Quote is with permission and used to show the many similar DM's I've made to many similar higher levels of intellect or those responsible for instances / tech or even a conscious soul *anywhere* on the #Fediverse.

    Many can't even reply to these "bettering-people" parts of messages (Freemo is always good at replying) and even people answering are ironically not about the "not-just-machines?" parts - and only the parts they want.

    I constant see measurably that have some decency and morals, and want for it - but not putting in the time. Even they are going for some very aims of bettering people according to their own sites or profile descriptions! But question why you even message them (not a good start / shows bad faith from beginning).

    =========================

    Below explains more why this quote is here and perhaps why life is not working in a longer sense of nobody solving it (Tech can be as the assistant while people do the people work but not expecting Tech to do the people work)....

    THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS POST - WILL CLEAN UP AS I RE-DO / IMPROVE BUT MOSTLY ALL IS HERE...

    =========================

    ...And a minor play on words for the word "lie" helps me start to explain things hopefully more memorably for any reader...

    To help me explain the seemingly 'strange' phenomenon of making better people daily as a daily habit, I decided to added a hashtag on the the word #lie above (in the quote)...

    ⬆️ Did you notice that? ⬆️

    ...This #lie helps me start to explain that I think all the code / machines / external #tech in the world is really becoming an increasing #lie to people and measurably so as results - directly and indirectly...

    And even if people can also "lie" or choose to be bad, people can't do it so often if they themselves don't believe in it . AND THAT IS CRUCIAL.

    With tech you can do a lot more or a lot quicker or lie about it differently as a cover for many more reasons.

    I can plug your code into other things and even run it all day and the tech doesn't know the difference - becoming a horror of code eventually (even if it's great now) like a horror of the #Transformers cartoon series as too many transformers have been added together and didn't know when to do more quality code and are lop-sided code production became #human #dysfunction (forgive a bit of poetic license).
    It was always going to be human #destiny from over-doing machine code even without those putting it together deliberately in their own order as another weapon. We see from #history enough that we had lots of chances in life for not using things for bad or solving other things, but we have to assume all tech is going to be used for same bad eventually and in many more ways. The wars definitely didn't stop and computers are largely part of that and human ignorance.

    So while I'm not saying "don't create anything" and not saying that "bad people will never exist after this". still it's better people, practice and do more regularly the examples we wish to see which means less of this abuse, or more checks, and limits it to individuals who even if they are bad have much harder work for them to maintain that bad which things like Tech helps them to do easier and even hide behind.

    ⬆️ Can I rest my case or do you disagree totally what need more time? (people or tech)

    That's why Tech can be MUCH more of a lie than people lying to each other.
    Because #Technology has nearer-0 ability to #care and no matter how much you tell #hammers (or hammers of code) not to be used badly on others someone else can insert it to do bad.

    'Bad' also in another sense that depends on two people or people in the room respecting those personalities and souls of the people not just a rigid "standard" set of rules even of a moral kind because there are 100 ways people can do things and achieve same result still good for everyone. Binary fascism or just inaccuracy from listing all of attributes / we're not just a number or 1 category of people as "White" etc etc...

    Tech is not good at customising in these ways or that between people (tech becomes the incorrect focus instead)..

    Humans learn from Humans... and adapt too...

    People have some ability to feel / see what's happening and learn to care... so once people play that game a bit more (even in business) then I'm sure more will care and share more often too and start to accept change of priority (people over profit sometimes) because it makes sense for them (and not needing to screw everyone all the time)..

    In the non-physical or non-hardware sense the modern day #warfare continues as #war on people today (it didn't stop since WW2) as the virtualised #economics and #politics (stuff from distance used to cheat people for #money / #profit) so it only makes sense for us to slowly align back to ourselves / teach ourselves better politics between us... so we don't end up with the same leaders or snakes and equivalent #economic #hammers such as:

    ❌ Linux adfarms 🔨 or
    ❌ Mastodon google links 🔨 :google:

    You see adfarms or google youtube links also serve them from us.
    I asking @Gargron years back to make some posts even unofficially / personally to say 'you can also use... (anti links below)

    yewtu.be/ or
    redirect.invidious.io/
    nyc1.iv.ggtyler.dev/feed/popul

    ...so instead of direct links on Fediverse we use @invidious links as just a suggestion to millions of users (Invidious was working for years but recently down) Following what seems we all came to Fediverse for avoiding (feeding the bad guy / bad tech).

    Not showing google adverts indirectly or by proxy is just 1 half.

    The other half is helping people use open source Invidious which didn't seem a priority for #Gargron even as a mention (not just future betterment of Mastodon as a potential feature or plugin) for his or #Fediverse users (which OK it's not all on him but he seems more against it a bit which was strange).

    A lot of it good things overlaps (or naturally do) which is why we're here, but more on that in another post and just an example - not hating).

    People can learn and see better IF WE WORK ON IT.. and see who doesn't want too. Tech is all so covered. You'd trust TechIncX but not trust me.

    ⬇️ EXAMPLE ⬇️
    HOW YOUR PRODUCTIVITY / WORK IS MADE BETTER WITH PEOPLE / USERS INVOLVED

    People told me to install Ubuntu / #Debian etc but TO START it took a nice person to do a walk-through to help me start.
    People are not always "lame" or dumb... it's motivation + human brain(s) needing to do computer work and co-operate to get things done 🔁 (either for themselves 🔁 or the other and both 🔁 in the end).

    THIS is all part of it (and not just leaving about leaving ISO somewhere on the web for people to download and stop at hurdle 1 or 2, or poor documentation).

    ⬆️ THIS help (above) the best 'forever' work in my eyes which turns any I.T. or operating system into more human-used and co-created work (measurably).

    People "hands-down" need people much more than more tech. So in this case you get more installs and win against your opposition purely because you took the time with people. You find a lot more other things at the same time (bugs, places of improvement, beginner's opinions, expert advice in other fields etc)

    The best "slowly-but-surely" work is work with people more often rather than 100 more tech #Rugpulls and mini-Google's destined to be eaten / bought up by Google or similar.

    No matter how non-profit you or QOTO intends to be (all is still profit in some way) the state is not stupid to make fair containers or keep things fair / not pulling the plug somewhere / unruggable.

    The million stories daily from all companies or state itself (that we are still learning) we need to step out of completely sometimes and see further that as entities people themselves (*the individual* container) holds better their own values in themselves than tech as main reason and with others too this formidable in a different way.

    Risk of deception is always there but more often clearer in people over time rather than a general tech extension replaced by another head of snakes always leaving people quite empty in their wake and us having no choice over it. Sorry for the #USPol vibes but all crosses everything.

    ❓ Even on individual level, doesn't life seem too empty or over-reliant on Tech? ❓

    ❓ Isn't it like we have to have something switched on draining energy? ❓

    People who played Super Nintendo or PlayStation in younger years (or still now) know that Linux PlayStation can be the same when you power down, empty and alone (again). Just passing time into yes a seeminglt 'perfect' 'logical' machine.

    But people are possibly in worse position if not improving others in any deeper sense and create themselves or others as "just another user" or another "crazy genius tired broken down admin"
    (like #GrapheneOS developer maybe who is making the best thing since mobile operating system but so terrible as person or in people skills).

    People are measurable and repairable and we can be accountable without needing to punish, but hardly without more deliberate time given or as we do things with that integrated.

    What / who is behind the bigger pipe of tech is an increasing #lie very false provider / less true to people things as that root trust is changeable to some extent as things can be bought and sold.

    Something that might work today later doesn't or is over-done too often. all while people are left almost helpless or not helped in the personal sense of enjoying and learning directly with people or frankly having a normal kind of regular "therapy of life" during our struggling time "repairing" ourselves as a therapy instead of thinking focusing on more code is the way or doing things many don't understand on a simpler level.
    Co-creating life and being more exposed to more types of "strangers" helps us be friends with the work even with a bit more of a measured approach and making time for it.

    Various scales of lying means it's either people not being genuine or people not understanding what's behind the tech (US storage space and traffic as basis for everything able to be switched off / snooped on / #Amazon #AWS #Google)
    not to mention what your servers run on #datacentres (unless you're not outsourcing it and #DIY)...

    ...and then seeing that anyway... (away from the usual hate for companies):

    ... Simply heading for each other's fellowship and company, using tech as only a basic medium for maximising growing of each other, is much better way for incrementing trust and helping others do the same (while even some tech projects continue but hopefully more people orientated).

    Because we have enough tech do we not? We can di whatever we want mostly (talk, text, call, video, audio etc)

    Tech can't do much more for us now to make better people... Or can it?

    Or do you think we need more to make good people suddenly?

    Past more videos and more media. I personally need people who are failing me all over the place. Not really code other than very basic maintenance of the existing.

    Only people can actually do the people work WITH other people... !... else they are left for dead / alone almost and with uncaring #state / #bank partnership penning them increasingly all the while (#fascism is instantly nearer than you think it is once things switch off).

    Isn't it about people developing people, not just machines... ?

    =====================
    Fuck this was a good post. Right?

    Keep it. Bookmark it. Happy to amend.

    Better yet get in touch and let's work on #IT (better people...) more often or as higher primary focus than only FOSS or STEM.

    ( yes even at the same time as whatever you're doing as long as you're not all-in machines ).

    People for the priority (and then everything else) to help people finding their place and even free work !

    Attentions are largely on machines - and that's largely perfectly playing into those pumping it and scraping all the new 'useful' discoveries. We're losing that way.

  27. Федерация #Mastodon базируется на открытом протоколе #ActivityPub, что позволяет независимым серверам (нодам) взаимодействовать друг с другом.

    bastyon.com/kolibristudio?s=6e

    Каждая #нода может иметь свои #правила, модерацию и тематику, но #пользователи одной ноды могут общаться с пользователями других, создавая глобальную, но децентрализованную сеть.

    #Связанность в Mastodon:
    Локальная связь:
    Участники одной ноды взаимодействуют напрямую.
    Общий временной поток доступен только пользователям этой ноды.
    Федеративная связь:
    Нода "подписывается" на обновления от других нод.
    Пользователи могут подписываться на учетные записи с других нод и видеть их публикации в своём фиде.
    Децентрализованная структура:
    Отсутствие единого центра управления.
    Каждая нода автономна, что делает сеть устойчивой к цензуре и сбоям.
    Кому это нужно?
    Индивидуальные пользователи:
    Тем, кто ценит приватность, контроль над своими данными и свободу выражения.
    Для тех, кто разочаровался в централизованных платформах (Twitter, Facebook).
    Организации:
    Ноды могут использоваться как внутренние или внешние коммуникационные платформы.
    Бренды и сообщества создают свои пространства для целевой аудитории.
    Активисты и #СМИ:
    Децентрализация позволяет избегать блокировок и цензуры.
    Возможность распространять информацию независимо от централизованных платформ.
    Разработчики и энтузиасты открытого ПО:
    Протокол ActivityPub позволяет экспериментировать с новыми подходами к социальным сетям.
    Возможность интеграции с другими платформами на основе ActivityPub.
    Плюсы и минусы
    Плюсы:
    Контроль над данными.
    Отсутствие рекламы и #алгоритмической ленты.
    Возможность выбирать "идеологически близкую" ноду.
    Минусы:
    Требуется разбираться в устройстве федерации.
    Возможна изоляция при закрытой политике некоторых нод.
    Сложности для новых пользователей.
    Mastodon привлекателен для тех, кто стремится к свободе и децентрализации, но остаётся нишевым продуктом из-за сравнительно высокой кривой обучения и отсутствия массового охвата.
    #Проблематика федерации Mastodon
    Фрагментация и изоляция:
    Разные ноды могут придерживаться различных идеологических и модерационных принципов. Это создаёт барьеры в коммуникации между пользователями. Например, если одна нода блокирует другую, пользователи из этих двух нод не могут взаимодействовать.
    Иногда пользователи испытывают сложности с выбором "правильной" ноды, особенно если она слишком узкоспециализированная или имеет строгие правила.
    Управление и модерация:
    Ноды управляются администраторами, чьи решения могут быть субъективными. Это приводит к спорам о справедливости модерации, удалении контента или блокировке пользователей.
    Администраторы несут большую ответственность, включая техническое обслуживание сервера, модерацию и защиту данных. Это может быть избыточной #нагрузкой для небольших команд или отдельных энтузиастов.
    Сложности #масштабирования:
    Рост популярности Mastodon увеличивает нагрузку на популярные ноды. Это требует дополнительной инфраструктуры, что может быть дорого.
    Многие ноды зависят от #пожертвований или энтузиазма #администраторов, что не всегда устойчиво в долгосрочной перспективе.
    Технические барьеры:
    Новичкам бывает трудно разобраться с концепцией федерации, выбором ноды и настройкой аккаунта.
    Интерфейс некоторых клиентов менее интуитивен, чем у популярных централизованных платформ.
    Проблемы с децентрализацией:
    Хотя децентрализация защищает от цензуры, она же делает невозможным централизованное регулирование. Это позволяет некоторым нодам распространять незаконный или токсичный контент.
    Отсутствие общего авторитетного центра затрудняет координацию работы между нодами и защиту пользователей от злоупотреблений.
    Низкая узнаваемость и адаптация:
    Несмотря на активную нишевую аудиторию, Mastodon остаётся малоизвестным для широкой публики. Это делает сложным массовое привлечение пользователей.
    Пользователи привыкли к централизованным платформам и алгоритмической ленте, что снижает интерес к федеративной модели.
    Отсутствие #совместимости с привычными соцсетями:
    Mastodon сложно интегрируется с централизованными платформами, такими как Facebook, Instagram или Twitter.
    Федерация позволяет интеграцию с другими платформами на основе ActivityPub, но их тоже не так много.
    Выводы
    #Федерация Mastodon сталкивается с вызовами, характерными для децентрализованных систем: баланс между свободой и ответственностью, сложностью управления и масштабирования. Для успешного развития необходимо:
    Упрощение интерфейсов и повышение осведомлённости пользователей.
    Улучшение инструментов для модерации и взаимодействия нод.
    Стабильная #модель #финансирования для #администраторов.
    Тем не менее, Mastodon остаётся перспективным решением для тех, кто ценит #свободу, #открытые #стандарты и #децентрализацию.
    Потенциальные улучшения для Mastodon
    1. Улучшение пользовательского опыта (UX/UI):
    Упрощение регистрации:
    Сделать процесс выбора ноды более интуитивным. Например, добавить рекомендации на основе предпочтений пользователя (#тематика, язык, активность).
    Объединённый #поиск:
    Улучшить глобальный поиск, чтобы пользователи могли легче находить аккаунты и публикации на других нодах.
    Интуитивный интерфейс:
    Разработать более дружелюбный интерфейс для мобильных и веб-клиентов, чтобы конкурировать с привычными платформами (Twitter, Facebook).
    2. Укрепление федеративной связности:
    Лучшие инструменты модерации:
    Ввести стандартизированные механизмы для управления федерацией между нодами, чтобы избегать конфликтов и изоляции.
    Механизмы разрешения конфликтов:
    Разработать общие рекомендации или протоколы для решения споров между нодами.
    3. Образование и популяризация:
    Обучающие материалы:
    Создать простые гайды и видео для новых пользователей о том, как работает федерация и как пользоваться Mastodon.
    Партнёрства:
    Продвигать Mastodon через #коллаборации с известными брендами, активистами или открытыми проектами.
    Маркетинг:
    Акцентировать внимание на преимуществах Mastodon — приватность, децентрализация, отсутствие рекламы.
    4. Технические улучшения:
    Оптимизация производительности:
    Разработать решения для масштабирования крупных нод, чтобы они справлялись с нагрузкой при росте числа пользователей.
    Интеграция с другими протоколами:
    Расширить совместимость с другими федеративными платформами, такими как #Matrix, Pixelfed, PeerTube, или даже централизованными сервисами через API.
    Фильтрация контента:
    Улучшить возможности пользователей по фильтрации нежелательного контента, используя гибкие настройки.
    5. Финансовая устойчивость:
    Поддержка администраторов:
    Разработать универсальные инструменты для сбора пожертвований или других видов монетизации (например, премиум-функции).
    #Фонды и гранты:
    Создать фонд поддержки для администраторов небольших нод, чтобы те могли оплачивать хостинг и развивать свои сервера.
    6. Сообщество и взаимодействие:
    Поощрение разработчиков:
    Поддерживать разработчиков, которые создают новые клиенты и плагины для Mastodon, через гранты или краудфандинг.
    Динамика общения:
    Ввести дополнительные инструменты для взаимодействия, такие как голосования, опросы, или системы обратной связи между пользователями.
    7. Этика и стандарты:
    Прозрачность модерации:
    Рекомендовать нодам вести прозрачные отчёты о модерации и блокировках.
    Универсальные кодексы поведения:
    Предложить шаблоны для создания правил поведения на нодах, чтобы минимизировать конфликты.
    Примерный план действий
    Создать "информационный хаб" для пользователей и администраторов.
    Активно привлекать разработчиков для внедрения новых функций.
    Искать стратегические партнёрства для популяризации платформы.
    Поддерживать ключевых энтузиастов и администраторов для сохранения устойчивости.
    Ожидаемый результат
    Эти улучшения могут сделать Mastodon более доступным и привлекательным для широкой аудитории, не утрачивая духа децентрализации и свободы, которые являются ключевыми преимуществами платформы.
    Термины:

    I'm unsure if I did post one but I just took this screenshot of mine.

    There is no built in option to share it and on github there are three posts about "taking it down". #JoyToTheWorld went down the drain.

    Oh look at what I #found! They had bigger plans and the one we got was not their final piece. So glad about that! Take a look at what #Gargron wrote:

    github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p

    I'll quote parts of it: "Even though we were planning a more extensive recap feature we will likely not"

  30. @iron_bug I am afraid I still don't understand. Perhaps you should elaborate on the GH issue which was created by (creator of Mastodon) himself.

    This person (Eugen #Rochko), intentionally referenced by his ridiculously immature account name, has to be purged from the #Fediverse. His proverbial gloves against us are off and so are mine, now. Hence: "#Gargron" has to die — digitally. That's all I'm saying and I'm not advocating for anything more, except that Rochko's ties to '#Israel' should be thoroughly investigated (his extremely malign influence on #Mastodon and the Fediverse might amount to the crime of aiding and abetting #genocide which, by the way, is a capital offense in 'Israel' and as such, punishable by #death). Of course, that doesn't mean in any way whatsoever that I don't despise Rochko and his racist clique to the core. As a compassionate being, I most certainly do, for he's an #enemy and a #disgrace to #humanity. #EndGargronNow

In this case, there's much room to improve:

    #Gargron must die‼️ #GargronMustDie

    Zionist and pro-Zionist instances, even those who 'tolerate' Zionists and #Hasbara, must be blocked. Leave those #fascists to themselves and help creating a human rights oriented network where their cultist #supremacy and genocidal ways have no place!

    Meanwhile, I have been locked out of at least indieweb.social and mas.to, too. Those " #indieweb " cunts obviously prefer to side with racist bastards (aka. Zionists): https://indieweb.social/@louis/113153793047102920. If you can, please leave a comment for " #louis " and his shitcunt admin " #tchambers ".

    Some time ago, I have also been kicked out from mstdn.social for completely arbitrary reasons. Unlike here, I was completely tame there but I guess Zionist puppets and cultists like " #stux ", " #Gargron " and so on will always find an excuse for censoring us. Those two (and a few others, including some non-English 'communities') basically control the mainstream network in the 'West':

    mstdn.social Masto.ai Pixelfed PeerTube.TV Gram.Social AllTube

    mastodon.social mastodon.online

    Let's keep calling out their #censorship and racist #bigotry and free the #Fediverse from #Mastodon.🇮🇱 — or drop it altogether! As it stands, " #Federation " means nothing more than having many #Nazis instead of one. Right now, Elon #Musk clearly looks like the "lesser evil" here and the #X system and crowd beat Mastodon and the "Fediverse" by a trillion times. Whichever system you use, remember that we provide the content. The #revolution will neither be televised nor "posted".

    I seem to understand more than you do

    Threads is *not* "federated" with anything in the #Fediverse in any way

    That's all a #Zuckerberg / #Gargron PR lie

  42. @johannes.ernst

    "All the things one learns. Vint Cerf talked about "permissionless innovation" (in quotes!) that the internet as a whole enables in an editorial for the NYTimes in 2012."

    Interesting (and perhaps telling) that you provide a link that requires the #NewYorkTimes' permission for me to read

    Which I will never receive, because I don't subscribe

    Also interesting about how many learned #Fediverse debates require re-using or re-defining words already in common usage

    Keeps the discussion within the #WalledGarden(tm) of the select few, while everyone else goes "What the hell are they on about now?"

    Of course, since I've replied to the cloned copy of your original post from over on #Threads, here on Mastodon, you'll never see it

    Guess #Gargron and #Zuckerberg haven't settled on the correct set of permissions for you to see my Mastodon reply back over on Threads

    Sorta ironic, no?

    "Already disliking New #Mastodon "cards on hover" feature."

    The new #HoverCards went through considerable discussion on #Github -- part of which I myself participated in

    #Gargron didn't care, and doesn't care

    This is yet another example of a Good Idea(tm) that someone has convinced Gargron SImply Must Happen(tm) and that's the end of the issue

    This was my final, never-answered comment:

    "And the second half of my question:

    "...and how many times do people need to see the same unchanged user profile pop up, again and again and again when user profiles almost never change, only because the user was careless about where the mouse cursor came to rest at any given moment?""
