Why "Electrum" has no Wikipedia page? What's wrong with it to not be accepted to/included in there? #bitcoin

"Keyword subscribe" feature is not working. Is it just me or it is for everyone? Please comment if it works for you. I hope all problems with #qoto get sorted out in the next 15 days of the month.

I just found out that besides #Qoto and #Fedibird, #Misskey too has Follow keywords function. Misskey don't have (or does it?) Follow hashtags function but I think you don't need follow hashtags if you follow keywords.

@Linux reason for "quick un-boost" may also be that they want to push your post to other #Fediverse instances to give it more discoverability but do not want it on their user account.

The most absurd thing in modern social networks for me is that I can't delete posts from Home or Lists - just why? Because with #email "posts" from Inbox can be deleted, it's how it should be - why can't it be the same with #ActivityPub. Why should it be just endless stream no one care about - never to be seen or found again and everyone think it's okay to flood each other timelines with too much of everything? I don't think it's normal that we supposed to not not scroll back down to previous days and not care what we received before. #fediverse #socialnetwork

Are there some other #Mastodon instances which have viewing local timelines of other instances feature beside #qoto and #fedibird? I was surprised mastodon.social do not have it. #fediverse

I'm surprised #peertube is used for hosting hundreds of thousands videos no one watching but is not really used for movies #piracy. I don't think reason is because admins do not allow - I think users themselves don't want to, so they do not register and do not upload any movies. Though I sometimes time thinking about registering and uploading few movies.

@BeAware I think to avoid these kind of problem with moderation with wasting time blocking endlessly #Mastodon needs feature like "Block all domains except which are on Unblocked Exceptions List". #fediverse #activitypub

I wonder if there no-politics Fedi instances. It looks like all big instances and most of the small instances are aggressively political and news agenda centered. Smaller instances tend to be less about politics and news, but they also often just several people posting.

@malison @bookwyrm It is because books have different covers. To have another page for the same book but with different cover is advantage and very important so that people could have choice with which cover they want their book in their collections. #bookwyrm

How ever one may not like Truth Social it plays major role in decentralization movement. It just so much crazy that people are okay with this that they all chose to use just this one social network website and to make just this one person to be richest person on the whole planet instead of create their own social network websites and be rich/to have their own portion of the pie too. #Mastodon has shown it's not difficult.

@jupiter_rowland @mikedev I think #Hubzilla would have been more cool and successful if it didn't had #ActivityPub app and was its own alternative Fediverse. I wonder if there probably are Hubzilla instances without it. And actually i find the way Hubzilla does "Share" posts to be better than Mastodon in a way that you really give additional visibility to self and post you share by making it appear once again on public timelines. As well it can prevent ActivityPub posts from appearing on your instance in case you'd want your instance to be zot protocol-only posts. I actually like current version of Hubzilla and I prefer old versions of Mastodon like Qoto and Fedibird.

@tokyo_0 @danie10 that sounds very interesting to try out - so even too good to be true. #hubzilla seems to be so interesting software. Not without drawbacks for me though because I find "hashtags/keyword follow/subscribe" feature which my #mastodon instance has to be most important for me in social network website. In hubzilla defense hubzilla has instance search function which available even if you not logged in, kind of very slow but it works.
