Once Twitter started injecting tweets into timelines based on likes, Retweet became a redundant feature too. Liking a tweet had the same basic effect as RTing it.

Here in elephant land a decision was made to have these two things express a different intent, and with no algorithm that makes sense.

But I do think Mastodon can give the people who miss QT what they want without breaking Mastodon.

You could even have a "Quote Toot" button, it just does a reply and self-boosts it automatically.

What's up next for Graze for Mastodon in 2023?

• Remote replies, mentions, and direct messages, #QuoteToots (kinda)

• Toot this page, toot this image, and toot highlighted page snippets from websites

• Compatibility with non-english Mastodon instances & Localised interface (I'll need some help with translations!)

• A lot of other fun stuff....

So I still have no idea what I am doing over here, but am trying my best. Anyway if you want a medieval historian of sexuality and apocalypticism on here, now you have one, I guess? #Introduction

The medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen's was a polymath & force of nature. And right on eels! Most medieval thinkers believed that eels regenerated asexually. But Hildegard suggested that eels mated at sea, where we can't watch. No one listened to her. But she was right!
#History #Medieval #Eels

Whoever did this wins winter.

#BlueChristmas by #TheLumineers is haunting & lonely & sad & just so utterly *tragic* which is exactly how it's supposed to be. Different enough from the Elvis version to merit its own spot on #TheVeryMerryGENTmasPlaylist. Mournful, beautiful harmonizing

Time for a new #Introduction post.
Hi! I'm Kelly. I like #StarWars and #DoctorWho and most other usual sci fi universes. Weapons-grade nerd and pharmaceutical-grade goofball. I spent many years covering #Apple at TUAW and The Mac Observer. I host some podcasts and appear on others. Day job is IT. An originator of #pdxtst and a long suffering smart home enthusiast. When not applying profanity to technology I'm probably playing Pokémon Go, at karaoke, or doing something fun with yarn.

It's a little wild to see people on Twitter embedding their mastodon handles in images like folks used to hide text to hide from Chinese censors on Weibo.

Well, #twitter's last move is nuts... ???

New episode! waywordradio.org/big-bang/ A many-named Sicilian sausage, the blurb and purple cow guy, book recommendations, bang in sick, salts through a widow-woman, gumple-foisted, como uña y mugre, Marco Polo word game, skipping school, a box with five handles, and more.

Next time no people.

A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:

1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.

2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.

3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.

Émilie du Châtelet, who hypothesized conservation of energy, established kinetic energy as distinct from momentum and proportional to (speed)², and combined work by Newton and Leibniz with her own original ideas in "Institutions de Physique," was born #OTD in 1706.

Du Châtelet is an important figure in the development of classical physics, but she is not nearly as well known as many of her male contemporaries.
