@BeAware@social.beaware.live

Former #Twitch :twitch: and #Kick :kick: streamer. I post a LOT of #AIart with the assistance of #midjourney. I am your typical hippie and :weed: smoker. Follow me for a variety of topics like #gaming; comments and opinions on tech news; World news opinions; occasional self-loathing and #depression messages. VERY #ADHD. Sometimes my thoughts aren't organized. If this isn't your thing, just keep moving, or block, I really don't care :) #fedi22 tfr

Here we go! I'll try to keep up with live posting the Elimination Chamber.

This post being the start of that thread, replies will be unlisted so I don't spam my followers.

The ADHD urge to lie about why you didn't do something because "my brain refused to start on it" doesn't make sense to a lot of neurotypicals.

@adhd

This behavior has gotten me into a lot of shit over the years😬🤦‍♂️

My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.

There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩

So, I'm curious about exactly how much of Fedi is blocking threads.

Boost for reach please. So the poll gets good info.

PS. This isn't a debate post or anything. Just want info if you're willing to share. Thanks!

My greatest tragedy is that I literally always want a nap, right up until ten pm, when I feel utterly alive and electrified.

@adhd

I know I'm not the only one...right?😅

@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

Does anyone have a very detailed and comprehensive guide on how to scale up a Mastodon server?

I'm pretty noobish to Linux but I can follow guides if they have commands and stuff. Though, the only guides I could find were very light on the commands for certain steps.

My Sidekiq has been getting backed up every now and then with thousands of jobs. Of course they eventually clear out but I'd like to just mitigate it by adding more processes or whatever because I'm not even using 50% of my server resources🤷‍♂️

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS. My server is currently backed up so if you reply to this, I probably won't see it for a bit.😬

HIGHLY recommend Fediblock for user '@MKULTRADiamond' as they're tagging random users and spamming porn with no CW. Receipts attached in the screenshot.

Edit: The whole instance is Freeze Peach. Toss it in the trash.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

Apparently not many people believe me when I say that "normal" users using the "block this domain" option, is functionally just a mute....

There's gonna be LOTS of very mad people when they find out for themselves that meta/Threads can still see their posts....😬🤦‍♂️

To actually block Threads, you have to be on an instance that actually blocks them. As of right now, the biggest instance that blocks Threads is masto.to

So all this talk most of you are doing, means absolutely nothing because the majority of you are still federated....

Gotta love it when the pot calls the kettle "black".

@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

So, quick Linux Mastodon Admin question from a noob...

If I want to cronjob certain tootctl commands to run weekly can I just put them in the crontab with @weekly? I tried using the script from https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/ but it doesn't seem to run anymore after the last few Mastodon updates.

When setting up the script originally, I used the traditional way of setting it weekly, but I saw in the crontab that there's a few already in there with @weekly set so I was wondering if I could just set the commands themselves in the crontab like that.

Thanks for any help. Appreciate it.

So, it seems that mastodon.social is finding out, after fucking around :kek:

People are complaining about their dwindling count after mass defederation. Probably due to the frivolous handling of user content/data by federating with .

This is why is on the decline unfortunately. Why would people use a service that causes their follower count to drop massively due to one selfishness?

@Mastodon Isn't this the reason you exist? 🙄

BeAware, to bluesky
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

The more I look at the BlueSky documentation and try to make sense of their proprietary jargon, the more my head hurts.

It just doesn't make any sense to me how this is different from ActivityPub and how BlueSky doesn't control what federates.

I keep seeing people say it's decentralized, but if they can control who federates with bsky.app then is it really decentralized since that's where the vast majority would be anyways?

What the hell am I missing? Yeah, you have more control as a user, but that doesn't tell me a damn thing or connect their PDS, DID, NSID jargon to anything that makes sense to me. Maybe I'm just too dumb to understand this and that's fine.

Fediverse is where I want to be anyway. I just thought it might be interesting to try it out but if I don't understand it, then it's not really worth it.

The day when I don't have to "promote" those that argue with me in replies for no reason, will be a wonderful day....

The fact that blocking and defederating someone doesn't remove their replies to your posts is absolutely ridiculous....

Edit: AP creators in the replies talking about solutions to this!👍

So....I want to migrate from Mastodon to Sharkey. The catch is, I would LIKE to end up back on my current domain....is this possible at all?

I have a domain I could park a Sharkey instance to migrate to, but if I make a new Sharkey instance on my current domain after I shut the Mastodon instance down, will I be able to migrate back with little issue?🤔

PSA: If you're new to Fedi, specifically coming from Threads and hoping to see the Fediverse comments on your Threads posts, you either have to follow your Threads account from your Fediverse account OR copy the link to the post and paste it into the search bar of your instance (NOT your web browser search bar).

A link to a threads post specifically looks like this https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C4yMa0Gxxph

If your link doesn't look like that, then you've done it wrong.

Hope this helps and welcome to the Fediverse!

Browsing is quickly becoming useless. Even important ones for like and are filled with toots of random and . Some even promoting their or project. Even random or posts FILLED with random irrelevant hashtags. It's quite infuriating...if you know what I mean.🤦‍♂️😬

@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar
BeAware, (edited ) to fediverse
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

So....there's an instance that has defederated from like 21,000 instances including all the shitty ones and the biggest ones and me.

lol.lamp.wtf

I wonder who they actually federate with🤔🤣🤣

Edit: its a joke instance that's automated and not managed. See: 0 active users

BeAware, to fediverse
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

Ugh. I wish Fedi wasn't so reliant on domains....

Back when my naive self started Fedi, I went with the most known software (mastodon). But after months of dev incompetence, it's obviously not where I want to be, but I like my domain....

I guess I'm basically stuck with all these bad UI updates and no moderation features....😬🤦‍♂️

BeAware, to threads
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

And THIS is why I hate corporate social media....🤬

Literally made a Threads/Insta account and got InstaBanned without even doing anything....submitted an appeal.

30 or so hours later I realize I can actually login (they didn't send ANY email) and start setting up my profile and notice Fediverse option isn't there. After mucking around for 30 minutes or so, I'm banned AGAIN! I didn't even post anything or put anything in my bio...the only thing I did was upload my profile pic....WTF.

Threads apparently has enough users....🤦‍♂️🤬

BeAware, (edited ) to threads
@BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

Hmmm...wonder how long this has been a thing...if it's fairly new, I wonder if Threads is further along in their AP implementation than they're letting on...

To be clear, I'm talking about how Fedi handles show up as links on Threads. They don't actually link to anything yet, but they do show up as links.🤔

Edit: Not necessarily so. Here's a GREAT explanation on how this (probably) works by @m https://thias.hellqui.st/objects/bef3ad92-a688-4c69-80e5-a2e343877e10
