I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with those much, it's mainly either PDFs I import and edit, or documents I create anew.

This is so cute!

I rarely have need for an office suite, but when I do I mostly use KDE's Calligra suite of apps. Not sure if they're as feature rich as LibreOffice and others (I think not), but Calligra apps are always stable, fast, and they don't mess up the documents the way LibreOffice often does in my experience.

The .DS_Store files are from #MacOS, not a Windows thing.

#Windows cruft is more of the desktop.ini and Thumbs.db variety.

Eating the products of factory farming. We willingly have our blinders on about it, make arbitrary distinctions about suffering (eg. dog vs pig), and engage in a lot of doublethink around the whole thing.

People in the future (esp. if they have factory-grown meat or other protein source) won't be as willing to take part in those mental gymnastics.

For messages you post, there's bridges like moa.party that let you post to Mastodon and automatically have it posted to Twitter.

But if you mean your feed (i.e. people you follow), I don't think either of the websites make that possible. I don't know if there's some third party app that combines and displays both feeds though, it's possible but I haven't heard about it 🤷‍♂️

It seems like the list of servers is manually added by @terry and not automatically determined? https://mastodon.world/@terry/109398050989076174 says "Added a few more server (instance) names to the Mastodon word cloud." so maybe they're adding ones as they come to know about more (large) instances.

I'm interested in what numbers these sizes roughly indicate as well, for eg., Qoto has about 10k active users, what's the server on this cloud that's closest to that?

Hi, do you ever stream on Youtube? Or plan to?

I've seen posts from people using #screenreaders saying that inline hashtags don't really bother them. They're already used to filtering out the extra stuff the screen readers say that this is practically a non-issue - that's what one screenreader users whose post got boosted to my timeline said anyway.

Still, I find overuse of them annoying even as a sighted reader, and try to have only one or two inline and the rest at the end of the post, just as a matter of preference.

I think adding a few more general hashtags like ccg, cardgames, etc. could help a little.

But tbh I think people just haven't settled down enough yet to search for and follow fun/entertainment hashtags like this, most are still getting used to hashtag searches and are using them for "serious" topics of interest as of now. It'll take some time for people to relax and start looking for their entertainment interests here. (That's my theory anyway.)

Yeah, I've seen more meta-discussion about Mastodon in these past few weeks than I had in years of being here before that, and by now it's getting kind of stale (even though I understand it's useful for the non-stop stream of newcomers, and have contributed to it myself).
I'm hoping it's just a temporary thing, and I do already see it slowing down in my timeline.
