I will take reporting on anything at all numeric by #SocialMedia , #Mastodon , and the #MainstreamMedia seriously when each post or article clearly states if an "average" or a "median" was used, and if it is average, what the skew and kurtosis are
folks, that last bit about [#skew and #Kurtosis is a lame inside joke ]
#Mastodon's inability to properly thread through absent messages (e.g. deleted, or not federated because of privacy configurations) is rather obnoxious.
little #mastodon protip: due to how posts federate there's no guarantee someone will see a link/video preview when they see your post, especially on small servers. this means that you'll probably want to add some kind of relevant description in the post where you're posting the link, like repeating the headline or quoting a relevant excerpt
Ok I should really know this but can’t find the setting for the life of me. How do I get a little icon on the bottom right hand corner of my profile picture? #mastoadmin#mastodon just like below
I'm enjoying #mastodon more and more every day. Compared to #bluesky, which only provides a limited amount of features, this instance has granular control of the algorithmic impact of my own posts, explicit opt-in read receipts, and even mini-picture reactions! (I'm still holding out for #memoji support)
The biggest social media transformation is happening in our lives right now, and we shouldn't waste it on inferior platforms who are holding out features and ignoring their principles.
I hope that this trend continues to push out industry forward into making better software, for humans!
The max_id, since_id, and min_id parameters in #Mastodon's Timeline API assume that the post ID is a sortable number. (Is this correct?) #Hollo, the #ActivityPub implementation I'm building, uses UUIDs for post IDs internally, so I'm stuck on how to implement a Mastodon-compatible API.
