i don't know if mastodon is ready for my stream of consciousness and liveblogging baseball games
i'll keep the baseball blogging as single threads.
@drdrowland If you respond to yourself, it's still visible in the timelines... I think a solution would be to make your responses unlisted (click on the world icon and change into unlisted). That way you won't spam the public timelines beyond your first post.
@trinsec unlist? like voluntarily reduce how loud i'm talking? hah. that's a good functionality.
@drdrowland Hehe, it's useful. Many bots are unlisted (or they'd get banned from spamming the timeline) for example.
So if you think you'll have a looooooot of stuff to say, maybe first post with normal visibility and announce a stream of consciousness incoming.
Then respond to that with unlisted, any responses to unlisted will automatically be unlisted already I believe, so you only should need to do that once.
Any followers you have will see everything in their home timeline still. Anyone checking out your toots in your profile will see everything as well. It'll just not spam the public timelines.
I'm just brainstorming along here.
@trinsec excellent brainstorming. i've practiced that a lot this year so i'm a fan. thanks.
