Anyone else think Paul Graham moving to mastodon is some kind of bellwether?

@freakazoid I am guessing it probably went out the window when they decided to embrace zero-cost abstractions.

I wish #mastodon had reaction icons ala slack. Sometimes you want to express something without adding much noise. Boosting and favorite isn't quite the same.

@dannyman shitposters, famous people turning into man-babies, conspiracy theories. I'm curious did mastodon filter your own toot?

@ViljamiSairanen @trinsec I think what trinsec means is put hashtags in your posts. People you are not connected to will see those posts because they have those tags in their profile. For example #mri and #brain. You may need to experiment as to what tags bring the right people to your posts.

@fourmajor Tested that myself, it's in fact true. I won't be deleting my account though, I want to make twitter host it until they shutter the damn place, and I will check in from time to time to warm my bones next to the nice warm dumpster fire.

@freemo Ok, subscribed, I guess I can see who I might want to follow someday...

@freemo We are listed as "limited" on hachyderm.io, (aka the new "silenced") but I've been trying to follow several people on that instance, and on the qoto page I get when I click on search results (and where I did the original follow), they are all in a wait state with "Cancel follow request".

Is this normal when we are a silenced server? If not, could it be a qoto issue? Or is there a workaround?

@tonic @freemo I dunno, I like to think they just made a mistake. I prefer to think most people are basically good, but are also error prone meat machines.

@fourmajor

I don't see those responses in your timeline, so I'm guessing it's because I imported the blocklist in the link below and can't see them.

@freemo I hope not, I just want to be able to follow some people on hachyderm, there are a lot of #rustlang people there.

@radehi @lemire The color is close to Germany, but it looks like they (Sweden) were the first to hit +10% to me. I'm not sure what point is being made if so.

Well that's progress at least. Hachyderm.io is going to move qoto.org from suspend to silence. @freemo

@liquidthex I use both #rust and #rustlang, I haven't seen any thing about the game, but I do see occasional interesting pictures of rusting things. I consider this a plus though.

@timbray I feel like that building should be on fire for some reason. 😀

@wilfredh I low key prefer shorter keywords at least for things that are used a lot, because you will quickly learn the meaning so you don't need a whole word to help with that, and there's less to type and scan over when reading.
