@ioletsgo this kinda behavior gets you blocked, and then you'll never see them. tagged or otherwise

@ioletsgo no? I'll post my shit with the (lack of) hashtags I see fit. it's frankly rather rude to demand this of random people (something you seem to do more often)

@library_squirrel@weirder.earth i've considered a bigger curved screen but I much prefer the (mental) separation two separate monitors give me

grumbling, activism 

If you feel that radical folks are "too radical" and "scaring off others", but "you agree with them in principle", why aren't you volunteering to do the job of explaining this to liberals/centrists/etc.?

Why are you instead demanding that the radical folks moderate their speech, look friendly, and generally shut up about the incredibly taxing and frustrating experience of constantly getting the same milquetoast subtly-bigoted shit thrown at them masquerading as progressive politics?

Why are you expecting the people who are *already* bearing the brunt of abuse and doing most of the work for social change, to do *even more* work to look less scary and more appealing? Why aren't *you* the one doing that?

did you know that Mastodon has a secret RSS feed for your account? Are you _also_ unhappy with that, as I am?

Annoyingly, that is not something that users can control, but you can block it at the webserver level if you don't like it.

There are two URLs per user: /users/username.rss and /@username.rss.

This stanza in nginx.conf blocks both for me.

location ~ username.rss {
return 410;
}

re: Search meta, actual serious opinion 

@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk because they (think they) know that actual consent would heavily limit the amount of possible search results. The whole thing about opt-out is that it's banking on the majority that plainly doesn't even realize there's an option to opt-out or doesn't care enough to do actively do something about it.

@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk your elaborate blogpost (link in bio) was quite informative

@kstatz12 ooh would be very interested in this as well. Some things I'd expect are (unobtrusive) marking of not-yet or not-quite consistent data, and ways of notifying older data has since become (more) consistent

Human Computer Interaction folks: is there any literature on designing interfaces for eventually consistent systems?
