I did not expect to doomscroll this entire article. I doomscrolled this entire article.

Pretty wild to see Automattic acquire Texts, the interoperable messaging service to bring different chat apps together.

Here are some details by @johnvoorhees, who spoke with Automattic's Matt Mullenweg about it: https://www.macstories.net/news/automattic-acquires-interoperable-messaging-service-texts/

Couples of Mastodon! How do you handle emails for "joint" things?

Like utility bills, hotel reservations, and other domestic accounts.

Please 🔁 the 📊 for extra reach 🙂

Fellow #Hachyderm folks! If you, like me, have been patiently waiting to opt-in to full-text search and thought you couldn't yet because there didn't seem to be an announcement that it was ready after the announcement that it was not ready, rejoice! Turns out it was enabled a couple of weeks ago. 🎉

And if you're even more like me: don't expect to find the opt-in under Settings -> Preferences! It's Settings -> Public Profile, and it's up at the top, cleverly disguised as “Totally not a button”.

Hi @MonaApp! Is there a way in Mona to use these new features from 4.2.0? 🙏

• Show conditional search options; e.g. “has”, “from”
• Exclusive lists: stops posts in lists also appearing in the Home feed?
• See results button on polls

Scary has taken on a new meaning over the past few years

The chair’s cover has a zipper underneath, and it just occurred to me I could stick magnets in the arms, under the fabric, so my keyboard can attach to the chair. 🎉

I spent my first year on Mastodon following people like mad, now it feels like it's time to prune the ol' follow list.

Anyone have suggestions about the best way to do this? Best apps? Services?

Because older generations tend to be more conservative than younger generations, it looks like people get more conservative with age.

This is, thankfully, untrue.

People get more progressive with age.

It's just that previous generations get a little left behind. The jump between generations is bigger than the progress that happens within people, giving the illusion that older people become more conservative.

Some good news for once. 😊

I for one am working on trying to put things in place that will attract contributors (and maybe even a user or two) and I feel like I'm missing a lot but also lacking so much of this thing people are calling time….

Can I onboard onboarders and have contributors contribute to helping to get contributors to contribute?

W00t! macaw.social updated to Mastodon 4.2 (thank you @streamofron - you can read about new features at the link, but worth noting that you may want to opt-in (or not) to the search feature in your account privacy settings. https://shlee.fedipress.au/2023/mastodon-4-2-0-post-toots-everybody/

I wish #YouTube let people set up subchannels instead of having different channels for each of a creator’s distinct interests. Like if I made videos about tech, makeup/hair, and The Neuroverse, a person who hit “Subscribe” would be presented with those categories to choose from.

This appeals to me in “Let’s be whole humans” sort of way, and also because dudes will lose their entire minds if they subscribe to a femme’s content and they don’t feel like every bit of it is applicable to them.

I’m 100% certain that #Autumn / #Fall would be just as exquisite if it lasted twice as long. 🍁

Remember when we were able to eliminate entire flu strains when people were masking at the beginning of the covid epidemic? Fun times

#BlackMastodon only:

The debate about whether parents should or should not spend time educating their kids after school, or if that's the school's job, has strong opinions all around.

I don't judge any opinions on the spectrum, because I know that those that feel like "it's the school's job" say so more out of the reality of time constraints of surviving US racism as an underpaid Black person, and I know that Black parents are more likely to help their kids with homework.

And... 2 Sigma🤷🏿‍♂️
