So anyways I'm back on mastodon.gamedev.place, hello again @aras !

Migrating back and forth between mastodon instances is surprisingly weird? In case anyone else finds this useful (from a Reddit post)

Woaaaah

#Hololens is toast. And if they've backed off, all those other #XR attempts are completely fucked too.

#Microsoft was, far and away, the one most likely to pull it off. They not only had target customers, they had a contract! With the military (who are idiots who buy just about anything even remotely viable cus it makes them look fancy)!

If even that backing couldn't get them to find a compelling use case? A market? Ain't nobody gonna find it.

@Migueldeicaza @nholzschuch um

Like I'm not suggesting VR is going away, just that XR / Metaverse sure looks to be crumpling like a tin can.

Ah, the Mask group that bought out the huge 800k user #Mastodon jp instance?

They've specifically stated their intent is to embrace, extend, (and presumably extinguish), with this purchase being their first major move. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mask-network-acquires-pawoo-net-070000858.html

That official Mastodon client which recently hit? Guess who was involved with that. Presumably because they were already making one of the more popular 3rd party clients. https://masknetwork.medium.com/the-first-official-application-of-decentralized-social-media-network-mastodon-will-come-online-e7742dd30d9d

@MereLeFey @dtgeek Tusky also has drafts, wait, does web client not save drafts either?

God, I need to compare features, or I'm gonna sit down at the web client someday for actual work on here and just be shocked heh

Tumblr joining Fedi WOULD basically mean you can just use your Tumblr though, kinda? You'd be posting from a different account, but, Masto folks could see/follow/boost them, you could even just boot yourself and like, use it as a second account? Hmm

Anyone know if any of the wrapper/replacement web clients for Masto add toot scheduling capabilities? Tusky has it, but not the web client, and @dtgeek was looking for a way to make the web client do that too.

It's weird, precisely opposite how the birdsite client worked. Specifically HAD to use the web client to schedule anything, heh.

Ok this MIGHT be instance specific, but, who the heck is this little man in my tootin UI?

Is this like a server thing, a customizable thing? Is it just a little crayon man who's judging my toots?
