It's been a minute, #Mastodon Alright, I wrote a lil post for the #Obsidian forum on my crusade against #Dataview (not literally; it's a great #plugin ) Here's the link if any are interested:
@apolaine Could you expand on what you mean by that? I'm guessing that you are using it more as a supplement than a main component, which I think is wonderful, but if you could give me an example of how you go about that I would love to see it.
@spinecracker sure. So I try to populate properties/metadata in the YAML for notes that I know I’m going want to interrogate in future. I don’t really keep a proper PKM but for my coaching notes I always have date, coachee name, etc. Then I can use a small a Dataview snippet to list out all the previous sessions in my current session note, so I can quickly check back during sessions.
UI differences are a big factor in the success/failure of decentralised federation of diverse platforms and content
And this seems a good example: bridged #mastodon posts onto #BlueSky which has a lower character limit than Mastodon.
So, just like #lemmy posts on mastodon, you don't get the full content of the post (which ends with an abrupt ellipsis here) and have to take a link to the original platform.
However powerful the underlying protocols, this isn't far from screenshots.
It is very clear #mastodon will become like all the other corporate social medias, it is already happening as Mastodon social is following in Musk and Zuckerberg’s censorship shoes.
@LALegault While I have my own criticisms of Mastodon as part of the Fediverse, I don’t really see this as being an outcome. If you release a federated, open source platform that people can run themselves however they want, you kind of can’t really put the genie back in the bottle.
As far as the whole “censorship vs moderation” debate is concerned, any instance is free to set and uphold any policy they want. Sometimes, their moderation team will fuck up, or choose the wrong option based on a limited context. That’s not exactly the same thing as what a corporate, centralized system with millions of users does when it blocks someone’s ability to be Heard.
This is how #Mastodon will whitewash their censorship. While #MastodonSocial now actively bans and hides the profiles of people advocating for Palestinian liberation citing “Holocaust inversion” they put someone on their board to appear like they care, who does not in fact, have a mastodon account:
Are there any #mastodon apps that have built-in #gif integration? Giphy now serves an ad before letting you download and I am not here for it :blobfoxsad:
Just a reminder that the whole point of federated social media shouldn't be that you need to be on #Mastodon, AND #Bluesky, AND #Threads, AND whatever other platform
Ich wünsche mir in #Mastodon eine Option, mit der ich Beiträge mit Bildern ohne Alt-Text einfach ausblenden kann.
Automatisch.
Einfach als Checkbox in den Einstellungen.
Das ist wahrscheinlich viel effektiver, als die endlose Bettelei, doch bitte Alt-Texte an Bilder zu kleben.
@Looping : ha ! Though I appreciate both the offer and the suggestion, I'm not moving instances. Since we cannot transfer past toots to a new instance, and I intend to someday simply be on my own instance, for now I'm staying where I am. But yeah, otherwise that's really an accurate suggestion.
Hello #Mastodon! My name is Thomas and I am trying Mastodon again. I'm a graduate student finishing up a Master of Arts in Education. Meanwhile, I like acting.
@crmsnbleyd hm, no going back, posts are left under the old name, are those the only notable issues then? I remember hearing people complaining but they were server-> server and it was quite a while ago
primarily I want to share one id/account. we don't need separate private messaging here. when people try to do that, it should be a matrix conversation. etc.
This is the reason #Mastodon social blocked me from the server and this social media site is doomed if it has this level of reading comprehension. I once again, would not recommend a mastodon migration to anyone who asks.
LA Legault @LALegault Younger generations will only remember the Holocaust as the excuse that was used to commit the Palestinian genocide and it is a disservice to everyone who fought to prevent both. Apr 24, 2024 at 13:28 • 0•177•*8
Mastodon and @Gargron becoming a zionist mouth piece like every other social media site has absolutely ruined it and I am so disappointed in the promise of a better social media— #mastodon has joined its silicon valley Israel applogists with a new board and everything to show for their hard work. Best of luck. What a waste of time here.
@spla Ah okay, thanks! I do admit I tend to read between the lines. “advising and supporting the team on key strategic issues” seems enough to influence release cycles
Let's take an in-depth look at Kharkiv, Ukraine; from its founding to its current struggle against the Putin regime, trying to bomb to oblivion its 1,400,000 residents!
