@david@mstdn.ything.xyz @aurynn @maegul Again: the problem is perfectly well-understood. You cannot prevent scraping on a technical level. It doesn't matter what you do. It's not fixable. This is known. Nobody is "pretending that it doesn't exist".
Quite the opposite: people are *very much aware* that it exists, and since it is not solvable on a technical level, addressing it on a social level. By throwing out people who seek to abuse it.

Any other #MastoAdmin notice that the Storj e-mail they got tonight didn't put the recipients in the BCC field so all 265 e-mails are visible? 🤣

If anyone has citations for the “fix retention before you try to recruit” argument related to institutions and inclusion of minoritized demographics, my brain is broken please leave them here?
Boosts appreciated.

I like that the edit function in Mastodon alerts people who interacted with the original post.
Not sure if it was the main purpose, but it means that if you posted something and want the correction to reach those who read the original, you can append an update and everyone who boosted the original will see it.

So at what point do we make the same link between Rails and DHH that we made between HP and JRK? Like I know a lot of people use Rails but I’m definitely starting to feel the susness
@david@mstdn.ything.xyz @aurynn @maegul This is *dangerously* close to the argument that you should allow bigots to exist in your spaces, because "otherwise they go underground where you can't see them". In practice, that policy just puts people in harm's way with no benefit to the community.
People are not shunned for carelessly building something either. They are shunned for doing so *and then refusing to take a step back* when it is pointed out to them that it is not acceptable.
If one feels so both willing and able to knowingly violate people's boundaries, then they *shouldn't* be allowed into our communities. Their behaviour certainly shouldn't be condoned, or tacitly permitted under the excuse of "oh well it was gonna happen anyway".

@aurynn A developer sees themselves more like a young person hacking away at something for fun. This is still held as an ideal. They don’t tend to see themselves as a professional contributor/operator of an important social system with serious responsibilities.
All of which is essentially unfit for someone trying to affect the culture of a social space that emphasises the importance of culture over convenience. Arguably, the archetypal developer struggles with that very idea.
@eevee tbh your blog design is one of my favourites as it is :p

Ooohkayy!! the first pre-release of PSD Importer for #GodotEngine !
worked a bunch on making the documentation and README as good as I can.
just remembered i'm not mentioning gdnative or godot-rust at all, something i need to definitely do, since there aren't compilation instructions yet 😅
i'll definitely get to that, but for now, enjoy this little prerelease! #GameDev #rust

thinking about "public transit strikes are universally evil because they affect people who rely on that service" when the ones in Portugal were happening
Y'know the ones where the drivers still worked but they just refused to take fares and just ran the system themselves with no fares
And it worked way better than it did with fares.
But hey let's ignore that so we can get angry about workers striking is bad

Time for a Completely Unscientific Poll because I am a wee bit curious. Please boost this for reach.
Writers of Mastodon: Have you ever gotten a false positive on tests that claim to detect AI-assisted writing? I have a sneaking suspicion that neurotype is a factor here, so I'm adding "autistic" and "non-autistic" separators in the options.

techbro: I'm gonna write code to take advantage of all this juicy Mastodon data!
Techbro, shortly later: wow the Mastodon people are really unpleasant to people who take advantage of all that data, and that makes me sad and now I won't make tools that unethically take advantage of all the data
Me: System working as designed.
@Canageek@wandering.shop Oh oh I think I recognize this one! (But I won't spoil it)

The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.
If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.
