My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Hello new people! A friendly reminder that image descriptions help make this site accessible to all sorts of people! They can be as short or as descriptive as you want them to be, but including them with your visual posts is important.

This project has been on my executive dysfunction pile for literally 2 years so, y'know

We're not ruled by corporate overlords any more.
That means I can say...

A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:
If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!

new people I do promise that outside of new user influxes, we do talk about stuff other than just activitypub design and how twitter is bad, like, uhhh, jorts and meowing

listen, i'm glad everyone is here/back but platform metacommentary alone won't be enough to make this stick. you need to start posting inane nonsense
what did you eat today. did you see any cool bugs

Don't you love it when you do the first 90% of the problem in planning only to find out there's another 90% of the problem left in finding out what the problem actually is and yet another 90% implementing it

okay nog een paar vragen rondom mastodon:
1 wat is een beetje de cultuur rondom favourites, 'k zie mensen van twitter elke reply favouriten zoals ze op twitter deden maar mensen die mastodon langer gebruiken schijnen het conservatiever te gebruiken, althans ik zie constant posts met meer boosts dan favourites?
2 hoe te verdelen welke info in bio, metadata en pinned posts te zetten?
3 kan ik dat bloep geluidje van notifs uitzetten (ik zit direct op het webadres van todon.eu, die ik op m'n telefoons home screen heb gezet, en kan het in settings zo gauw niet vinden)
Sure, package management is hard, but have you ever tried *packaging* management with ADHD??
(This toot brought to you by me finally cleaning out my office)

I find it kind of fascinating that there's a massive influx of new users to Mastodon and it seems that it's *not* a complete disaster. This is very rare for (comparatively) small communities! I'm very curious about why it's different from the usual "community norms overrun" in this case.

Next on my "Getting rid of Google" list is the calendar. Would like a cloud calendar that ideally is zero-knowledge. Which ones do you like?

I really miss the Ambassador bots, they were so good and useful for getting good posts into diverse federated timelines. 😭 Can we have those back please?
[ Context: An instance, let's say example.flowers.social, would have an Ambassador bot that RTed any public post from that instance that got over the average number of likes. If I on another instance followed that Ambassador bot, then all the good posts from that instance would also be shared into my instance's federated timeline. ]

Asking "how do I find people to follow" around here is a bit like asking "how do I find people to email" or "how do I find penpals" - people come up with ingenious ways to find each other within and outside of a decentralised system.
A good way to find cool people on the Fediverse itself is posting something like "boost if you like [hobby], I want to find people to follow," ideally including a couple of hashtags. Instant list of active users with similar interests. :D
