Remember: if you boosted something in the far past and you see it making the rounds again and you think it's still worth seeing, you can unboost and reboost it to share it with your followers again. You may have new ones that are interested in it, or old ones that missed it the first time.
I really don't get why sometimes the boosts I make from @Tusky don't seem to appear when I browse my timeline in the @Mastodon web app, and conversely, even when no particular error message appears. Caching issue or what?
Did I tell you about when my sister was studying in the USA and on one of her trips back there from home se brought 3kg of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP (the “real” parmesan) and they gave her trouble at customs because they thought she was smuggling it for resale and she had to explain that it was just her personal consumption reserve for her first month there?
I'm sorry but the take that search providers “have always been in a brutal war with SEO spam and ad farms” is —to be completely honest— total bullshit. Now, I don't doubt that engineers working on search engines would love nothing better than to do that, but when the entire business model of the company is to sell ads, you can bet your life that any successful approach to blackhole ad farms will be vetoed by management.
One of the issues with the forced reverse chronological timelines in Mastodon is that you end up seeing comments, replies and subtoots before the original post. Suboptimal.
Ho fatto il medio ad un motociclista che non solo non si è fermato mentre attraversavo, m'ha pure suonato per chiedermi di scansarmi, e mentre mi passava davanti m'ha fatto «aho!». Purtroppo non avevo con me una mazza da baseball per dargliela in faccia mentre passava o un'asta in titanio da infilargli tra i raggi di una ruota, quindi gli ho fatto il dito medio dopo che è passato. So che mi ha visto allo specchietto perché ha fatto il gesto italiano tipico del becco d'anatra agitato.
Yesterday we finished #WorldToTheWest. I'll do a more detailed review when I'm less busy with work, but overall it was … nice. Although was very obviously NOT professionally translated, at least not in Italian.
@pfefferle we're seeing a peculiar issue with the bidirectional commenting supported by the latest version of the WordPress plugin: the chain post > Mastodon comment > blog comment > Mastodon comment gets interrupted at the second roundtrip: the M comment to the blog comment seems to appear blog-side as made to a non-existing “main page” rather than the original comment, “disappearing” blog-side. Example of it in action here: https://www.matteozenatti.net/2024/01/10/delle-laudi-della-musica-09/
