Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Monday, 14-Aug-2023 08:04:54 JST Chris Messina @feld By "using it right now", do you mean you're able to stay in the same thread w/ me w/o mentioning my username? If so, that makes sense — since Twitter had the concept of "in-reply-to" threading that allowed posts to... be in reply to another thread, and it wasn't necessary to mention the OP.

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Monday, 14-Aug-2023 07:48:41 JST Chris Messina @Gargron I think the person I'm citing is myself?
Will clarify re beta 1.
Do you have a set of tests I can look at to better understand the behavior you've designed? I was relying on the screenshots in the Github issue.
Also, I was unaware of this: "as tags authored in non-Mastodon software that are not included in the body of the post would become visible for the first time"; are you saying that ActivityPub already supports non-inline tags on posts?

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Monday, 14-Aug-2023 07:19:12 JST Chris Messina Is it time for hashtags to evolve?
Well, they're about to on Mastodon due to an upcoming change in v4.2.0, advanced by @Gargron himself.
I have some thoughts.

So much for 𝕏 being the "best place on Earth for great content creators". 🙄

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 03-Aug-2023 06:08:41 JST Chris Messina I'm not sure how this will be feasible any time soon:
*We’ll also ask whether the creator has consent from owners of the works that are used to produce the AI-generated portion of their project.*

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jul-2023 10:06:46 JST Chris Messina Well shit... Meta just entered the W3C Social Web Incubator chat:
"What can Meta do to support the fediverse? How can we ensure our entry to this ecosystem is a positive thing that helps grow the community? How can we support this standard? These are the questions in my mind, and I'm really keen to start discussing this with all of you."

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 08-Jul-2023 05:04:04 JST Chris Messina TIL what happens when reports of CSAM hit a federated instance of Mastodon — with implications for any platform hosted on an .xyz domain.
Here's how my Mastodon account went down along with the entire mastodon.xyz instance:

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Jun-2023 06:56:20 JST Chris Messina I agree with @gruber. Not federating is certainly a choice admins can make, but it's unlikely to have an impact considering that Threads is being bootstrapped off the Instagram social graph.
Would you rather keep the fediverse restricted to its current population of ~8M people or scale it to ~2.35B+?

Chris Messina (chrismessina@mastodon.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Jun-2023 06:56:17 JST Chris Messina @glider85 @gruber they're not "Facebook trolls", they're just people (and bots) on the internet. It's not like Facebook is paying people to act poorly; it just happens to be the platform they're using because that's where the most people are. Solving for better humans is a problem bigger than Facebook.
