No my example is perfect. And you used the right word to describe it.
CONCEALED.
Ok so maybe the owner knows about it. Not every body who rides or even drives the car is going to be the owner. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances.
You shouldn’t need to be instructed on how to open the fucking door when there is a power failure. It should be intuitive. It’s intuitive in literally #every single car on the road today except for teslas. Oh no. If you are driving in a Tesla you better be briefed ahead of time where the concealed door handle is incase of an emergency and if you don’t happen to know where it is then I guess you’re fucked.
No thanks. I’d rather just buy a car that isn’t designed by brain dead idiots trying to make a buck off a stupid gimmick.
just unfollowed someone because they #wont#stop#hashtagging#every#other#word, lmao. PLEASE STOP, OH MY GOD IS THAT ANNOYING. It's more obnoxious than old American comics that BOLD three words a sentence (which bothers me so much I struggle to even read the comment). Treat hashtags like you're shouting them into a crowded audience... do you really need TO shout random WORDS that ARE extremely COMMON and don't MAKE any kind of POINT?
The rate limiting on Twitter has impacted my day ... not at all. Because I'm pretty good not doing the socials on weekends. And pretty much nowhere near what I used to do since all the Twitter stuff happened. And that's been ... good! Like yeah, every little thing in my head doesn't need to be posted (yeah, I used to be like that). I feel more reflective, mellow, maybe more in the moment...
One but thing would be to improve #search on #mastodon so you don't have to #hashtag#every#word you want available for cross instance searching. And I know. I know. I know. All the reasons why some hate the idea of better Mastodon search. And yet, if new folks can't easily find things like people or interesting topics it's hard to get them sticking around.
the so called ((poa.st)) ((((users)))) with their GOREPOSTING show how DEGENERATE they are #every#fucking#day and I hope THEY will sooner or LATER grow up and become VALUABLE members of society and NOT continue to SPEW HATE and ANTAGONIZE other people who just want to be left in PEACE.
Ok, nice little social media experiment, how does the fediverse fare during an earthquake?
A midnight earthquake just hit my home city, which basically never gets earthquakes. Probably no damage at all from this one, but we all definitely felt it, which is unusual for us! (Prob ~4 on Richter scale)
Where did I go first to check if others felt it? NGL, the place I went last time there was a tremor … Twitter. And to be fair, on the top of my feed were posts from people I follow (who aren’t here) that live in my home city, tweeting about it, including links to official reports. This was very nice, as this time I was scared and thought my apartment building might be in trouble.
I quickly check #mastodon and #calckey. Nothing in timelines. Not surprising, I don’t really follow anyone or many that live in the same city as me.
Searching, mastodon’s hashtag search does ok, and surfaces a bot or two that also confirm the quake (@lastquake). But not many people, I’m not really finding a conversation. This is on an instance with ~50k users.
#Calckey’s full text search though (on calckey.social)?
Quicker. Just typed earthquake without worrying about hashtags.
And better results. More people were brought up, which is kinda what you’re after from social media during an event … reassurance. It was also surprising, as calckey has only ~2k users and therefore smaller visibility of the fediverse, but still gave me more connectivity just through search than my bigger mastodon instance.
Which is really an interesting demonstration of how hashtags can be problematic. Plenty of people were reaching out, asking “anyone feel that earthquake?”, they just forgot or didn’t think to use a hashtag, and so couldn’t find me through mastodon. And why would you in a (slightly) nervous situation like that. “Hmmm, is this the best hashtag, do you think people will search for it … I should probably check if it exists first?” … is not a thought goes through your mind.
I basically never visit Twitter since I left, but this was a nostalgic little episode. It was nice to see the fediverse wasn’t really behind big social. Though the lack of discovery facilities on mastodon really did show themselves here.
@maegul@lastquake this is a perfect demonstration of why I not only want to be able to follow hashtags in lists, but also keywords. People just don’t use hashtags consistently enough for them to be the only method of discovery. Nor should people be expected to; you can’t be expected to hashtag #every#single#word#in#a#post on the off chance someone might be interested.
