WTF #Universeodon !!! it defederated itself!!! fuck that shit!
Doc Freemo 
@ClaraListensprechen4 What do you mean?
@freemo
I mean that the menu doesn't have a Federated selection. Everything on there is local OR people I've already followed, ergo I can't follow new people or read new posts.
I am now in the process of downloading my particulars and I'm bugging outta there.
@ClaraListensprechen4 interesting, the opposite of what fedibird did.
@ClaraListensprechen4 its a japanese server, not popular outside of japan
@freemo @ClaraListensprechen4 Looks like #Universeodon is still federating as of yet
@realcaseyrollins @freemo
realcasey if they're still federated they're keeping it to themselves. It's no longer a menu selection.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @realcaseyrollins
Thry are federated just not showing the tineline is all.
@freemo @ClaraListensprechen4 The timeline is still active though
@freemo @realcaseyrollins
Yeah. Might be federated for admins but not for accounts.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @realcaseyrollins
Its federated for eveyone, just doesnt have the federated tineline, but it still federates for all
@freemo @realcaseyrollins
I know and that's exactly what the problem is for me. Federated only for Follows to the exclusion of all else.
@ML2 @freemo @realcaseyrollins
The menu changed and every option on it excludes Federated. It's either Home or local, so federated just enough to get stuff from people I follow doesn't cut it.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @ML2 @freemo How come I was able to access it via the menu then?
ADDENDUM: They have the federated tab it seems, at least on the web interface. Check Live Feeds under "Other Servers".
@ML2 @ClaraListensprechen4 @freemo Yep, I think it’s a new #Mastodon change. and a good one IMHO
@realcaseyrollins @ML2 @ClaraListensprechen4
The federated feed is a bit useless, cant remember the last time i used it... that said i like our users to have the option
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @ML2
I'm happy for you if you never use the Federated feed. I use it primarily.
So it's a new software change that simply left me hanging. Lifting a glass to stuff that doesn't leave me hanging.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @realcaseyrollins @ML2
Yea i will make it a poi t to keep it in qoto for sure.. i may not use it but it makes sense to keep for those who do.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @ML2
Thank you very much for that, Dr. Freemo. I fully expect I'm not the only one who goes to read Federated first. It's how hashtag games get done, among other things like news feeds.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @realcaseyrollins @ML2
I have always been very against the idea of removing and blocking features just cause you want people to control the user expierence. Let the users choose, its also one reason why we open federate.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins @ML2
Yeah Dr, I like your attitude. When I use Block or Mute I use it on sports and Wordle things, and bots whose topics I'm not interested in. It's handy that way.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @freemo @ML2 Yep, I use the federated tab the most!
@realcaseyrollins @ML2 @freemo
See, I just knew I wasn't the only one, ha! Good to know!
@ClaraListensprechen4 @ML2 @freemo It’s a great way to find new people!
@ML2 @freemo @realcaseyrollins
Ahhhhhh, that would explain stuff. More explanation than I ever got from Universeodon. I'm already packed up to move out tho.
@ClaraListensprechen4 @ML2 @realcaseyrollins
Seems as good a reason to move as any
@freemo
Not familiar with fedibird.
