@duco @EU_Commission

It is not that by not being directly on #Twitter they miss out on participating in the valuable discussions they have over there. From what I have seen most responses are just toxic blurts and trolling every msg.

@duco

Indeed. Now it would be a quite a statement and an up-yours to #BigTech if @EU_Commission ran a #Fediverse-to-#Twitter bridge instead.

Might need to take #Birdsite :birdsite: char length into account, and maybe minus no. of chars to add an extra "Cross-posted from #EUVoice" to each message ?

@duco @EU_Commission

Indeed, those results would make excellent *toot* series ? ? on the #Fediverse.

@bob @emacsen @hans

Oh wait.. there's a difference in the URL's used in the Mention..

Mastodon:

- "https://emacsen.net/users/emacsen"
- "https://federate.hopto.org/channel/hans"

Epicyon:

- "https://emacsen.net/@emacsen"
- "https://federate.hopto.org/@hans"

For Hans there's also a difference in the "cc" property..

Mastodon:

- "https://federate.hopto.org/channel/hans"

Epicyon:

- "https://federate.hopto.org/users/hans"

We’ve done the research and we know that a phone’s biggest environmental impact comes from making it in the first place. So, it makes sense that the longer you keep your phone, the more CO2 you avoid.? Repair, not replace! Kudos to the @EU_Commission@twitter.com ?

@minimaldotclick

Thanks ? My view is almost the same..

@bob @emacsen @hans

Difference that I see when querying with curl is that Mastodon escapes the html in the "content" property.

@bob @emacsen @hans

I can see beforehand which mentions I have to manually add, as they are rendered differently. More as hyperlinks in a toot blue color.

@bob @emacsen @hans

In this reply I had to manually add hans and emacsen. They did not come automatically on the reply because they were mentioned already.

@asteroidrainfall yes, you are right. That'd be more interesting I agree.

@edendestroyer yea, indeed. The aggregate review rating is in almost 100% of cases utter BS.

You need to go into user reviews and look at the distribution of individual ratings to gauge if a movie is worthwhile. Movie has a rating 8 but you see reviews be all 1's and 10's --> utter crap awaits in cinema ?

I remembered that I wrote this toot to follow up and mention federated-imdb: https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/108934213621370961

It is not a project for me, but I gladly advocate the idea :)

@emacsen @hans @csddumi

There are those incompatibilities between #mastodon and various other app types. Where I mostly notice this is when replying to Bob of #Epicyon. Then manually adding in other mentions on the thread is often required.

@bob since federated services are immune to centralization and user lock-in, sustaining their development requires innovative business models.

@gna is trying to come up with a new one, never tried before AFAIK. A federated forge hosting online service is run by a collective of independent Free Software service providers. It is a showcase that reflects well on their reputation.

The key is "collective". A showcase run by a single service company, is not new ? And toxic.

@dachary @bob @gna

There's space for that within the current forum categorization, and that's within the #FSDL category as additional sub-categories.

But there are potentially very many of those, and many ways to break down the Free Software Development Lifecycle into separate components, so I've left that for later.

Other than that a good forum topic might be dedicated to explore particular advantages and opportunities that exist.

@BreachCat angry isn't the right word. Outraged may be better. Though I should expect all kinds of shenanigans by now.

@BreachCat other than that other stuff sees me cranky today, so good rant always helps to blow off steam :D

@BreachCat because of how much these megacorporations encroach on our society and into our daily lives with their ruthless hypercapitalism, etcetera.

Reminder that #IMDb is owned by #Amazon

That #Amazon is your regular everyday shitshow #BigTech pile-a-?

And that #PsychoBillionaire #JeffPesos runs that hellhole.
