Oh great... As if it isn’t bad enough that I have to clear every single mention notification twice in Ivory (and there is no way to turn off the rest of the notifications)... now even going to each tab no longer clears them and I need to quit the app entirely to do so.
I think it's time I put all my computers away... in the trashcan.
I really dislike how Mastodon handles direct messages, as if there were just any other post with replies.
Twitter does this much better. Direct messages are grouped by person, as they should be. On Mastodon, though, it’s difficult to see your message history with a person, and it’s always unclear whether you should reply to an old, possibly unrelated direct message or start a new “thread”, which is more difficult than it should be.
Some other Fedi software pretend to do the above but within any server handling, like ELK, that seems worse as that makes it seem more safe than it actually is. Any wrong mention...
For Mastodon specifically, I believe they don't want to create a separate UI until E2E is also finished.
MKBHD is reportedly taking criticism for his honest and even generous review of a shitty tech product. The truth is it was just one guy on Twitter giving him shit, until journalists came to do a poor job with it and create outrage and attention, to then rewrite and report more.
Creating a honeypot for the usual outrage and response, only to walk it back later, saying US law makes buying big cars too easy (the politically correct thing to say in America in 2020s).
Creating an anonymous blog is easy for web developers.
For example:
create GitHub account with anonymized email address (e.g., Apple’s Hide my Email service)
use Eleventy or similar tool to create a static blog
publish on GitHub Pages (e.g., anon123.github.io/blog/)
But what about the people who don’t know how to use GitHub, npm, code editors, etc.? Like if somebody is a political activist, and they want to blog anonymously, what can they do?
