I feel a bit sad that I have to open a browser that spies on me just to watch Netflix. The only way to stream content privately these days is through piracy.
The state of the web these days… smh.

Mastodon Pro Tip: Ever miss "that good post" you made a while back? Just search for it! Type in the search bar:

And there it is.
Can we get rid of the Fediverse Chick already? This is starting to get on my nerves 😅 :mastodon_oops:
OMG the Mastodon issue about fetching whole conversation threads finally got completed after 7 years!

My Lemmy use case from Mastodon:
1. Create a list
2. Search for @lemmy.world and @lemm.ee
3. Add your preferred communities
This makes it easy to follow, comment, and interact with topics from a single list.
I can hear it.
@whataweekhuh Is it though?

In 2009, Mark Zuckerberg insisted Facebook would never sell your data.
Feels like it's from a different timeline when viewed today.

@LivingCooki You scared me! :blob_sweat: It's good that I have used to opening the original post.
One significant way Mastodon and the Fediverse have transformed digital culture is through the use of alt text. When I look back at my older images online and in my blogs, I rarely included alt text - even though I actively work on accessibility. For some reason, I simply overlooked it.
Now, every time I post something online, I take a moment to write alt text. Mastodon has changed my mindset, and I believe its impact extends far beyond this. The Fediverse encourages a level of consideration for others that no other social networking platform has before.

@Technogourmet @codinghorror Here's the explanation and context for accessibility and inclusivity: Jeff donated one million dollars to Internet Archive and they sent an automated email like they do for anyone who donates regardless of the amount. So the post is kind of a sarcastic, humble brag. Hats off to Jeff.
I see that in 2025, I've been posting in Finnish 90% of the time and in English only 10%, mainly due to the huge influx of Finnish users this year. In previous years, it was the opposite - 90% English and 10% Finnish.
The best part? It doesn't matter here in the Fediverse. With language filtering and translation features, it's truly a top-tier social media.
@cratedigger It's under Preferences → Other.
Here's the direct URL for you: https://mastodon.xyz/settings/preferences/other
AFAIK, it should affect all posts, including boosts.
@cratedigger Oh, OK. I noticed there's a bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20241
I hope it will get fixed in the future.
I personally don't filter languages.
