@lanodan @chjara @tusooa @eri was mostly Vk and Yandex and OK everywhere when I was there. seemed almost more common then google services. Google maps didnt really work there too so less things to lock you into the google ecosystem. also I think all the phones people had came preinstalled with Yandex and and the like.

@tusooa @chjara @eri @lanodan yeah mail.ru is huge its like gmail for a good chunk of the world. when I was in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan thats what everyone had as email addresses

cc @laurenshof, @jdp23 the first few minutes mention the quip of whether matrix is part of the fediverse, which is the first time I have seen this mentioned "officially"

just ran across Matthew Hodgson giving a recent presentation about the @matrix project while I was playing around on BiliBili today

@noellabo [reading auto translated] this is interesting I didn't know they were any different other then the terminology. Does Fedibird let you renote things as well as boost them?

just came across the lovely work of Daniel Vega

@exahamza @dansup I think I filled out a early signup form. I didn't just make an account. it says I already have an account there for either my username @wakest or my email

@dansup no change :(

@dansup so what happens in 24 minutes now? Signups are open to all?

@dansup I found out what happens...

@pfefferle @mattwiebe @cheeaun @phanpy I actually had to look up what exactly the Mastodon setting for "Quiet Public" even does even though I have been using the fediverse everyday since like 2017 and was surprised to see that it marks posts as not searchable or viewable from the hashtags included. All I had remembered that Unlisted had done was make it not show up in feeds of people who are not following me like in a public timeline. But I see its now doing quite a few more things.

@pfefferle @mattwiebe @cheeaun @phanpy is the idea that this function will have the exact same functionality as what Mastodon does with this setting? Like if this is set will the post not be discoverable by searching its hashtags? And which platforms actually use this setting?

@pfefferle @mattwiebe @cheeaun @phanpy icon wise I think this looks remarkably better and much less confusing! Now we just need to think about whether "Quiet public" makes any sense as terminology 😅 :illufinch_gouldian_finch:

@pfefferle @mattwiebe @cheeaun @phanpy yay! glad it was worth taking the time to look into this, I think it makes more more sense then the eye icon since that one is already used for many other things that have quite a bit different meaning

@mattwiebe @cheeaun @pfefferle after reading this thread I had to re look into what @phanpy is doing vs what Mastodon is doing. The fact that everyone is doing this slightly differently is sort of a nightmare.

looking through the WordPress icons you have available you could do the same as Phanpy is doing

seems like there isn't a moon icon in WP icons but I think the one Mastodon chose makes zero sense for this either.

Having payed my very over priced hosting costs for my single user mastodon instance and https://autonomous.zone I am now 40$ short for paying my rent thats due today. I have the money but its in a European bank that takes 3 days to transfer which is too late. If you feel like helping, it would make my day much better. @wakest on venmo or @wakest@gmail.com on paypal

thanks internet humans

its sad that https://fediverse.space has been broken for so long, is there anything like it that shows off the connections of the fediverse in an interactive way?

hey @6543 are you still working on the rewrite of the-federation.info?
