@MonaApp is just getting better!
The sever tab (to add a list of instances) became explore, where you can look through trending hashtags, find similar accounts to that you follow or see news that are shared at the moment.

@eWalthert@typo.social avatar

@MonaApp I do appreciate the filtering a tabs of other servers but doubt their accuracy.
and being big on https://blacktwitter.io seems off.

@MonaApp@mastodon.social avatar

@eWalthert It should be the same if you open the trending hashtags page on that server’s website.

#Mastodon doesn't directly support quoting toot like the bird app. Support (Literally) Quoting Public Toots https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22793 is still open. I hope they release support for this. This is killer feature.

@nixCraft Aren’t like some clients already doing this when there’s like a Mastodon link within the post

@nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft I never have understood why this wasn't considered a priority feature. It is very hard to talk about a post you are referencing when people can't actually see the post.

"Just 10 "superspreader" users on were responsible for more than a third of the misinformation posted over an eight-month period, according to a new report.

In total, 34% of the "low credibility" content posted to the site between January & October of 2020 was created by the 10 users identified by researchers based in the US & UK. More than 70 per cent of posts came from just 1,000 accounts.

This amounted to more than 815,000 tweets." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-23/twitter-misinformation-x-report/103878248

there really aren't that many good looking desktop clients sadly (outside of but then they all look more or less the same because of , not to say they don't look great)

@wgrav I’ve been using https://phanpy.social and I think it’s phenomenal. It’s a web client, but I think it’s the best design and usability wise by far @phanpy

I'm amused by what a great slogan for leaving twitter this is:

And the irony of it being a screengrab.

I saw two posts today both identical with the image. One had alt-text the other did not. Guess which one got boosted by me?

@Seth@bdx.town avatar

J’ai jeté un œil à Bluesky (vu qu’apparemment c’est trop woke pour Jack)

Alors oui c’est super simple (centralisation oblige) et y’a des bonnes idées :

  • personnaliser l’ordre d’affichage des réponses (chrono ou anté chrono)
  • bloquer par défaut les players externes (youtube, spotify…)
  • masquer son compte aux gens non connectés

MAIS.

Ben c’est vide. Au moins autant qu’ici. La seule diff c’est que quand t’arrives l’algo te pousse du contenu. Alors qu’ici ta TL principale est VRAIMENT vide.

Je me dis que si c’est un des freins à l’adoption (en plus du choix de serveur) il suffirait de charger la TL locale voire la fédérée par défaut à la création d’un compte.

Ou mieux peut-être, un message qui dit “votre home est vide pour le moment, mais viendez dehors c’est animé”

My old instance/server is shutting down and when I requested my Archieve I see that it does not include my past posts and they didn't migrate over to my new home.

Is there any way to get an archive of my past?

Are there any API clients that only implement the Private Mentions part?

I’ve been curious about an app that looks and feels like a messaging or email app, but just for PM’s. Having played with the APIs before, I feel like a basic thing might not be that difficult to write? 🤔

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

@SuitedUpDev @Dianora I've found this page from Perkins School for the Blind has some good basic tips. The graphic at the bottom lives rent free in my head.

@thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social avatar

@Dianora Adding my voice to this. Until late last year, I was effectively blind due to cataracts. I couldn't really see the images too well, but Alt-Text made them accessible to me. Anything accessible to the disabled is automatically accessible to the abled, so PLEASE use Alt-Text so we visually disabled people can enjoy the pictures TOO!

"Elon claims that X is now up to 600 million monthly active users, and around 300 million daily actives."

"X also reported reaching 500 million monthly users in March 2023, so based on these stats, X seemingly added 50 million more users in a year, but has now added another 50 million in just eight weeks."

😂😂😂

Highly doubt X gained 50 million users in only 8 weeks.

This site is magical, bitch about the current state of politics, get branded as a Trumper and a bot from the "Self Appointed Evangelist of Mastodon"

Then after people started to call them an asshole for a being a dick, they double down on the trump insult and blocked me.

Love the Internet and boomer libs who think are helping but just pushing people away by telling the younger folks to shut up and deal.

I see you not actually wanting things to really change.

cosvak, (edited )
@cosvak@mastodon.world avatar

@NaturaArtisMagistra not either, I Guess I should of said, "not all boomers"

But the "YOU KNOW NOTHING SHUTUP!" Mentality is not helpful either.

Or just being dog piled on by a bunch of neo libs calling me a fascist for demanding better.

My apologies to anyone who is older and actually tries to connect and has or is actively helping.

cosvak,
@cosvak@mastodon.world avatar

@NaturaArtisMagistra Not trying to be a dick or anything, honestly interested and want a conversation where there isn't name calling.

Why did you feel compelled to respond with what you did? Did you feel as though I was undermining you personally, allies that actually helped in the day, or are you afraid of being lumped in neo-libs who took up liberalism to protect their own assets from facism?

I took huge offense being immediately lumped as a fascist bot troll, got defensive and now this.

Please let us know what do you think!

This is out first version with full Mastodon support so there are definitely some bugs and features missing:

  • media alt text (coming soon!)
  • private mentions
  • custom feeds/lists/bookmarks

Thank you for understanding, we are working hard on making Openvibe fantastic 🐙

openvibe,
@openvibe@mastodon.social avatar

@mstankiewicz thank you for the feedback!

You can swipe between the timelines (combined following, trending and separated Nostr and Mastodon). We definitely want to add multiaccount support, but right now our main goal is to have Mastodon+Bluesky+Nostr support in a single app. After that we have a ton of fixes and additional features we want to add 🐙

"Twitter Is Dead, Long Live the Portal"

https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-musk-new-york-dublin-portal/

"TWITTER IS OFFICIALLY dead. Last week, twitter.com became x.com, marking the final step in a rebranding effort that the company’s owner, Elon Musk, announced last year. The change marks a shift for the now birdless app under Musk’s reign, which has welcomed Nazis and white supremacists back to the platform, dissolved its Trust and Safety council, and has become a cesspool of disinformation and conspiracy."

A cesspool indeed, looked at it last week for old times sake and yes...
