#TheAutopsyOfJaneDoe is the second most trending subject on Twitter right now, Mastodon is way behind on this

#MutantFam #TheLastDriveIn

@evan Crazy how close this was! I became a boring Paul guy as I got older.

I finally left Bank of America and moved my checking to a local mutual bank, feels good.

@evan Are you supposed to be able to follow folks on there from here? I can’t seem to.

@WagesOf I support instance admins' freedom to limit/suspend Threads if they want. But I also support users' ability to know that this is happening, and to move instances if they disagree with the decision.

@evan Just a limit, not a suspend.

@bacteriostat You can see it on your instance’s About page. But people by and large never go there, or know to look there. The messaging should be there when you try to do the thing you’re not allowed to do.

“But everyone said it didn’t matter which instance I joined.”

If you search Mastodon for “threads.net” you’ll see a bunch of people wondering why they can’t see President Biden’s account, unaware that they are on an instance that did a full suspend on the threads.net domain.

And people say Mastodon isn’t confusing 🙄

The messaging on Mastodon needs to be a lot clearer.

“You cannot view this profile because your Mastodon server, example dot com, has suspended the example dot net domain.”

If they made Back to the Future today (heaven forbid), what car model would the time machine be?

@GottaLaff I think there are two things going on here. (a) What was Trump literally saying? And (b) Is it missing the forest for the trees to focus on what he was literally saying?

I understand the argument that whether he was promising literal physical violence is beside the point; he has demonstrated again and again that he has no issue with political violence on his behalf.

But I also think citing this truncated quote as proof that he is calling for violence *is* arguably disingenuous.

Let’s say you’re trying to decide between two Mastodon instances, run by Sandra and Billy.

You agree with some of Sandra’s moderation decisions and priorities, but not all of them. Same with Billy.

Which do you join?

In the #Bluesky/ #ATProto model, you can opt-in to *both* of their moderation systems, and set custom warning/hide levels for different categories of offenses.

Then if one of them starts getting weird or shady, you just unsubscribe, no need to migrate your account anywhere.

@oppen

Alan Parsons didn’t say this; a commenter on Slashdot on a post about Alan Parsons said it:

https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2663265&cid=38987087

The Slashdot post links to an Alan Parsons interview in which he says nothing like this.

@tchambers You need to "subscribe" again in the TestFlight version. It won't charge you.

@craigmaloney You shouldn’t use those anyway. You should be using FlargBuxton, a federated Last.fm you can run in a Docker container, and Goorf, a federated chat protocol with no frontend.

@annika This feels so backwards to me! Left here is an "affirmative" ("I do need to look at this message"), right is a "negative" ("I don't need to look at this message.")
