0.12.0 what?

They replied to me directly in the thread after I had posted that I'd reported the OP

Last time I'll make that mistake

It was quite an eye-opener as to how impregnable a very small, single-admin instance can be against reports or complaints

@firecat

Speaking to single-user or small instances, I reported some pretty offensive behavior by an account on one to that instance's admin, who literally laughed at me in reply

And then proceeded to brigade me via *my* instance mods and admins

Took some fast talking and screenshots on my part to get my own instance admins to climb down off *my* case

@profoundlynerdy

Wait

There's a bug open at where? Github?

For news: not working? -- which it shouldn't

Or for news:// not working?

@feditips

Ditto for me, also on sfba dot social, Firefox browser tab

Whoa

Wait: check that

It *does* begin to play in a newly-opened tab when I click "download"

At the end it doesn't ask me to 'save' anything

And no mental health professional would have the faintest idea what it might mean, because it's "cutesy" and "marketable"

Yeah

Got it

Oh

A video game

Well, that certainly settles the matter

"These aren't VC startups trying to build up hype machines ready for the stock markets, these are FOSS projects patiently improving their functionality over years."

Wow

Apparently you've missed the hype I've seen

Or you're following the wrong hashtags

Or you have an entirely different definition of 'hype'

That #wordpress is the new feature that is going to save #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is the lastest hot-techy-take

So far all I've seen is:

1) people talking about how their blog is now "on" Mastodon -- but with only words

2) people talking about how their blog is now "on" Mastodon and posting a link that is no different than any link to any web site anywhere

3) a very few people talking about how their blog is now "on" Mastodon and posting a link that takes me to their blog, where I can read but cannot comment because it's not connected back to Mastodon in any way except by my 'back' arrow

I've seen one case where apparently I *could* comment but I did not -- mostly because the content was pretty uninteresting

So there's a long, long way to go before Wordpress "saves" Mastodon, to put it mildly

IMOO, of course

YMMV...

I'll just repeat my earlier reply here:

"You know, most people's comments are going to be predicated on the assumption that Musk gives one sh1t

Musk does not give any sh1ts about any of this

It's just more fodder for a shit-posting edgelord troll

Which ia all Musk is"

#EU #DSA #Musk #Twitter

@mastodonmigration

No

Elon Musk does not care

Musk could watch Twitter burn to the ground, at which point he'd walk over and piss on the ashes

He doesn't need Twitter except as a stage for his floor show

The idea that he'll rush to comply with the EU is unrealistic

"See ya in court!"
