Yeah, they start hallucinating, that kinda stuff.

@morph @evan
Not sure if you already knew or not, but the military already did that experiment. It didn't go well for the participants.

@BeAware @phocks
There's an option to exclude boosts from accounts - maybe you have that on accidentally and only see their posts?

It was recently announced that #Mastodon (the #fediverse?) now has (limited) ability to reply to #Threads posts (only tagged people can see it there, and you can only tag one person there) and I got a post today from one of the few people I follow there (in fact boosted by someone else I follow there), so hey, let's give it a shot and reply... and not long after they liked my post! Pretty cool to get my first like from another platform! 🙂 #Federation FTW!

@ricmac
I'm not a webdev, but yep, absolutely. The only time I post there is about the Fediverse, and I have my Mastodon handle in my Twitter handle

@phocks @voxpelli
And there's the catch - to escape capitalism you first need enough money to do so. i.e. you're trapped by the system. When people complain about capitalism, and the sea lions jump in to say "yet you willingly participate in it", that's like saying prisoners willingly participate in prison routine.

Sneak peek of a graphic I made for a talk I'm giving next week about the #Fediverse - choose your po... I mean UI for today's Fedi-mission 🙂

Is "far left" the new "Socialist"? 😂

@inthehands
So does this explain the failure of that NASA mission where one team was using Imperial and the rest were using Metric? 😂

@feditips @Joe_Hill
Ok, but does clicking on a public post open up all the unlisted posts too? That's what I'm not clear about. I'm not sure exactly how unlisted works.

@feditips
So, if you set the subsequent posts to unlisted, and someone from the public clicks on the first post, they will see the whole thread?

Also, I type it up in Mastodon until I near the limit, then copy to Notepad, then ditto for 2nd post, etc., then when I'm at the end I can add the right numbering (e.g. 1/9), and copy them from Notepad back to Mastodon and post them. This also helps with getting the right char count for each, cos of things like URLs only counting for 23 chars, etc.

@feditips @william_1844
So for example, first screenshot is what I see boosted to my Mastodon feed from following a Kbin magazine, and in the post if I click on the link it takes me to the original post (but separate login needed, but pixelfed supports using your Mastodon account, once you have gone through the set-up for that).

@feditips @william_1844
P.S. I also get all the text in my Maston feed, but clicking on that gives me the link to click on for the original content.

@feditips @william_1844
Hey @phocks I think you're on pixelfed too? Have you tried this thing with using your Mastodon account to sign-in to pixelfed?

@feditips @william_1844
Yeah, that was from this end, but then the article says that if you go to the other end you have the more appropiate UI for interacting with the content (in the case of Lemmy it's threading, in the case of peertube it'd be the various play controls, etc.), but also, I think(?) you can receive your Mastodon content there, in your feed there.

@william_1844 @feditips
Yeah, so the reason I ask is because I saw a thing even longer ago (I think from Feditips?) about how you can get for example #Lemmy posts in your Mastodon account, but if you go to Lemmy itself then you have a more appropriate front-end, where in this case you would have a better threading experience, etc., so I was wondering which of them also support this pixelfed feature.

@feditips
Right, but who else supports that? I'm sure I saw a list of other services that did the same thing.

@feditips
Right, but this hiding boosts but seeing their original posts, would this hide a boost of one of their original posts? e.g. you have something coming up on Saturday, which you post about on Monday, and then you boost your Monday post on Wednesday, would that Wednesday boost of your original Monday post show up? i.e. I'm not sure if this feature is hiding all boosts, or only boosts of other people's content (since it's a boost of their own post)
