So, how's @loops coming along? https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112304702493157030

@loops I'd hate this to be a replay of Mastodon being so-very-close-but-not-quite-close-enough to really seize an opportunity.

If Post had federated it could have been a contender.

Maybe. I assume. Didn't really try it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@JoshuaHolland @lisamelton Appears to be unrelated to Trump - or anything really. He seems to have been quite unwell.

@vruz Nice to see layoffs not leading to a stock rally for once.

Thousands complain about Prime Video’s wrong titles, lost episodes, other errors

Business Insider reports of inaccuracy concerns that could hurt viewership.

@arstechnica @lisamelton Browsing amazon video feels like one step up from going through your buddy's ftp server of torrented movies.

It sucks that Instagram is the default place to live stream protests because it is terrible for sharing to other platforms.

@misc@mastodon.social avatar

A nice project for people with the skills to make such a thing would be a free and easy to use kit for streaming from a phone that could be channeled to Instagram Live but also other places.

@misc@mastodon.social avatar

I know there is stuff like this but it all seems to fail on the easy or free/cheap criteria. But it should be possible right?

Not even 24 hrs after making history as the first company to mass fire workers for pro-Palestine protests, by summarily firing 28 people, Google announced that the “(ir)responsible AI org,” the one they created in response to firing me, is now reporting up the Israeli office, through an SVP there.

Seems like they want us to know how forcefully and clearly they are backing this genocide.

what’s the least invasive/resource intensive way for me to use tiktok

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@exchgr @beep I try to use it that way and give it the minimum possible permissions and it's comical how much it tries to beg me for more access at every turn.

Sometimes I wonder if I really have adhd, but when I say that to people around me, they're like "lol"

And sometimes, I reflect on those times when I've felt those doubts … and also am like, "lol"

(Today is the latter)

We need to make (more) things on the fedi that aren't available elsewhere, that meet needs of specific communities that are still stuck on X.

Wish "general strategist for the people's takeover of corporate social media" was a job I could apply to and get paid for.

I kinda got a plan to get there tbh, it's just gonna take forever I think.

@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@knizer Sorry, missed this! So, this post was inspired by, on one side, a problem I see of unmet demand, and on the other, intriguing new projects, and a kind of tantalizingly narrow gap between them.

To get more specific, right now I'm laser focused on how to get the activist left less attached to X. It's one thing to try to narrow the gap on stuff people still use as excuses to stay there - breadth and speed of information, mostly. (1/7)

Another pain point I've found through my work with @ifnotnowboston is covering actions live. The tools suck. I think we've done a pretty good job live tweeting actions and streaming to Instagram, given the limitations of our setup. But I quickly realized that in order to have any hope of cross posting to Masto and Bluesky, I'd have to dramatically streamline the process.Of course, a simpler process is better, not just because it enables including other platforms. (4/7)

One example is events. Right now, Instagram seems to be the primary way people hear about local rallies. It sucks for that! But the alternatives I see are even worse.

At Fediforum I learned about , and it seems like a much better solution, so I decided to try making a Boston instance. Alas, I know nothing about hosting, so I'm slowly trying to figure it out in my spare time. (Actually, maybe this is something toot.boston could take on??) (3/7)

@misc @nowhereplains just out of curiosity, can you see this from threads? can you see that i’m following you from this account?

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@exchgr @nowhereplains Yeah, the only thing we can do on this end that shows up there is to like or boost Threads posts - on that end it doesn’t say who did, but it gives counts of those interactions that came from the fediverse. It’s weird!
