Will we ever witness a #Bluesky #migration wave to #Mastodon?

#Question #AskFedi #AskMastodon #TwitterMigration

@undefined @freemo Thank you for the clarification.

#QOTO: I have followed a number of accounts recently. Some of them are through flipboard and others are private accounts. The toots from the flipboard account such as Flipboard UK (see image) are showing in my home timeline but still have the 'egg timer' sign and I am being asked if I want to cancel follow request. The other set of accounts (private) just have the cancel request with the "egg timer" and none of their toots appear in my home timeline. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve this situation?

Predictions are difficult but what is certain is that the future holds uncertainty.

@zleap @science @climatechange

You are welcome.

I do not know how this this story will play out in the end. From past experience I do not know whether to be optimistic or pessimistic, humans do not always do what is in their or their families best interests.

@zleap @science @climatechange

For some the need to tackle the climate situation is not dire as they can they can insulate themselves from its effects by wealth. If that fails, then there is always the prospect of a quick space hop over to Mars to start a new colonisation project.

🔴 How Streaming Elevated (and Ruined) Documentaries: A Statistical Analysis

"It's not as if Netflix conjured demand out of thin air—they just ruthlessly optimized the artform until it reached its logical conclusion—which is a four- to eight-part docuseries about a celebrity, cult, sports star, serial killer, or all of the above. And you know why they keep making them? Because we watch them (didn't think about it that way, did you?)."

@freemo It worked. Thank you.

@freemo Hi, I tired to access my account page by pressing the account name as suggested but it still does not work. I wonder if there is any other way to access the page? On a side note that is much appreciated qoto is working much faster than previously; however, it is still not putting toots in chronological order onto my home timeline. Is there any setting I can change that will improve this?

Thank you for your kind help.

@QOTO @freemo Thank you for the update.
