@evan More hashtags than posts?

What's a good "scheduler" for Mastodon/Fediverse posts? Like I write 3-4 posts in advance, and schedule them ahead of time?

#askfedi

@deborahh @mayintoronto @PhoenixSerenity @evan that but also the docs mention that if your server subscribes to the relay, everyone on the server will get boosted

Here’s how to prevent it:

If your server is providing data to tags.pub, and you don't want your content to be boosted by tags.pub accounts, you can add the #NoTagsPub hashtag to your account bio. (If you've already got a #NoBots or #NoBot hashtag in your account bio, we'll also skip any boosts.)

@aral @b9AcE and in McGill when some student groups vote to stop partnerships with Israeli universities, it’s “antisemitism” and “discrimination”

Iran keeps hitting oil and energy infrastructure. This is how they got the US by the balls. Trump can't afford a forever war that brings gas price through the roof ahead of the midterms. He's in deep shit.

And that's the thing with drones.. easy to build in mass quantities and hard to defend against, there's no way they can have anti-drone protection in every country around Iran.

Iran doesn't need to destroy the US army or even kill US soldiers. They just need to make gas expensive. And there are many ways possible. That's what hurts the west. And they know it, it happened many times before! The previous oil crisis aren't exactly a secret.

Iran was also supplying tons of drones for Russia in Ukraine, it wasn't hard to guess that they would use their own weapons if they got attacked.

@evan we are already in 2026, did you mean 2027?

But yes I agree!

One issue with decentralization and the fediverse is that i know that for some topic we are entirely divided and isolated of each other. I don’t follow a lot of #latam people so following the #Venezuela hashtag leads me to zero actual Venezuelan users. My server is likely not federating with many Latino-based servers. Lots of talking about the fate of this country and but nobody from there are part of the conversation.

Was the same when I wanted to read more from the #philippines fediverse. Took me months and months manually building a list and going through people’s timeline before i could get to see a decent amount of posts (I was seeing absolutely nothing initially in the hashtags.).

Follow Pack might help fix part of this problem in the future.

Any Venezuelan on the fediverse? Living outside or inside #venezuela

@evan Threads, also on the fediverse, does the same

Been there for years with Instagram.

@shubhankar_91 Do you have an example

@evan you must be trolling.

@mayintoronto I thought we had imported squirrel from Europe?

@johnefrancis @mayintoronto i had my history wrong, i remembered they were introducing squirrels intentionally in north american cities but turns out it was intentionally bringing them from the country side to the cities. And then they started bringing them to Europe!

Great article:

@WarnerCrocker in that specific case no, they still haven’t won at the patent office, they just found a workaround around the patent (processing is on the iPhone)

Well color me surprised. Had no hope Cuomo would lose that one and lost faith in America quite a while ago.

Good job #NYC
