Here for the technical talk, stayin' for the pizza.
Humor, liberal use of #CW. Mostly on-topic what you #needtoknow to use Mast. keeping it safe & fun.
This account posting mostly Mastodon-related techie stuff, tips and tricks for dealing with the Mastodon User Interface mostly on desktop.
I will test the #Android & #Windows #apps but mostly interested in Linux.
I have a Mac but seldom use it.
ICYMI: full-text searching is already here on Mastodon. Just, through google and probably other #searchengines.
All the fuss going on now is really getting out of hand as the developer who is announcing next week doesn't really deserve quite the level of villification he is receiving. IMHO.
So here is proof. I will search on this domain name and this hashtag. May take a non-zero finite amount of time for the webcrawlers to take root...
Done with Twitter? Read this guide by @consumerreports on how you can safely preserve your data and your security. https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/social-media/how-to-quit-twitter-a4587748654/
I'm so lucky to be part of this important thing, at this crucial time, with all of you.
It's perfectly reasonable and possible for *both* of these statements to be true:
* it is better here than on Twitter
* this better *isn't good enough*
Federation and decentralization *as currently and inconsistently and idiosyncratically practiced* while better, are not good enough.
Digging in and saying that decentralization and federation *is* good enough is really, really unhelpful.
Also, the potential for better does not mean the practical experience is better.

Damn! The usual F-whatever keystrokes on boot-up not working on HP laptop.
There must be a way because I installed linux on this box before.

If you don't know what #slowmode is you will need to look at this micro-tutorial sooner rather than later.
Otherwise, the #federated and #local timelines may whiz by you too fast to read.
Picture one: the preferences panel
Picture two the slow mode check box checked.
Please #boost folks will need to know this, thank you.
OK so I boosted and commented favorable on Ro's remarks and reflectively questioned the other dude's remarks.
This is a tech- positive instance, but I anticipate a tirade in my mentions any minute which will overlook my support for Ro and laser-focus on my issue with the other cat.
Good points.
Thank you.

Ir seems you are free to bring up whatever you want to bring up. No need to give advance warning that it might "abut internal discomfort and biases".
Who said that it was the "minoritized person's responsibility to educate, coddle or do the work"
But yes of course we intend to create spaces "where Black people are [NOT] marginalized or silenced".
Do you feel marginalized? Silenced?
By whom? Mastdn,social? Chase boosted you.
It seems that you are projecting a frame. No?

Where can I find blocklists in .csv format (so they can be uploaded to user accounts on smaller instances?)
Aside from individuals making their personal user account blocklists, which I know is possible.
Trying to replicate platforms we already have is a losing game.
This is the future, man. We can do cool shit that doesn't even have a name yet.
The legendary Joanna Rutkowski - can x86 platforms ever really be safe?

Every time someone posts pictures of #northernlights I want to move to live in the Artic.
Every time it gets cold outside, I want to move to live in Ecuador.
If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden
