So, with all the major platforms going to $h1t as they chase the AI hype $$ dragon...
How safe is the stuff we post on #mastodon from data scraping?
I mean, I think there's probably no way to safeguard against it at this point, but for now I don't feel great about posting eg. WIP lyrics and stuff like that on meta platforms, seeing as they have made it clear they WILL be scraping all your posts.

Je vois plusieurs comptes qui me répondent et ça fait toujours plaisir (même quand je ne suis pas d'accord) mais qui n'ont pas rempli leur bio ou fait un pouet de présentation. C'est mieux de le faire, ça prend 2min, allez!

My biggest #gripe with #Mastodon is reach and the ability to discover stuff outside of chronological scrolling. Lists in #BlueSky make that better. Imho the algorithms in #Threads are too intrusive.
If there were simpler ways to connect with different topics on here it would make it excellent, to me at least. I guess it might come down to why you use different social media.
@Cstnskld I second hashtags. Fedilab lets me follow those I find interesting. Works well for me. When i find someone I like, I dive into their feed, often finding more interesting people thru their boosts.
@MonaApp is just getting better!
The sever tab (to add a list of instances) became explore, where you can look through trending hashtags, find similar accounts to that you follow or see news that are shared at the moment. #MonaApp#Mastodon
#Mastodon doesn't directly support quoting toot like the bird app. Support (Literally) Quoting Public Toots https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22793 is still open. I hope they release support for this. This is killer feature.
@nixCraft I never have understood why this wasn't considered a priority feature. It is very hard to talk about a post you are referencing when people can't actually see the post.
there really aren't that many good looking #mastodon desktop clients sadly (outside of #macos but then they all look more or less the same because of #swiftui, not to say they don't look great)
@wgrav I’ve been using https://phanpy.social and I think it’s phenomenal. It’s a web client, but I think it’s the best design and usability wise by far @phanpy
Yes, Junior is sleeping like this, stretched out on a cool surface on a very warm day! Happy #Caturday#mastodon 😻 #cat#cats#catsofmastodon His tail takes this shape often 😸
