tbh, I work in programming and only vaguely understand the underlying tcp/ip mechanism of http; if I can give advice about learning programming, try to avoid feeling like you have to grok every layer and piece, you'll burn yourself out trying. It's hard to know where the line is where you should stop going down the rabbit hole, but if you're a complete beginner, I recommend keeping a tight focus: Android or iOS dev, or web dev, or systems dev, or game dev (and all of those have subdomains worth specializing in as well). I constantly come across new ideas and technology, probably an equal mix between foundational or innovative ideas; keep a list, focus on your current goals, and every now and then laugh at how long that list keeps getting

- Instance admins can block registration based on email domain; registration can also be semi-open, requiring a registration request that needs approval before the account is made
- Users can mute and block accounts
- The nature of the home timeline is such that it can't be spammed without a user's consent

@micahalex @Mastodon
a. imo, paid toots are antithetical to the decentralized, no-ad-revenue based model of Mastodon; that being said, it's entirely possible that a specific instance would implement it, in which case, it would be up to that instance to control the content
b. Good ol' common sense.
c. No technical solutions, with than possibly Keybase integration
d. I think the main mechanism Mastodon has to avoid over saturation of an instance is turning off open registration.

Oh, and ActivityPub is a protocol, meaning it's not a specific technology but a specification that other technologies can implement in part, whole, or extension. Check out http://activitypub.rocks/

Ruby on Rails, Redis (with Sidekiq gem), Elasticsearch for full text searching if enabled, with Postgresql for the db

@soum
Not at all! That's like the effect they're going for, imo

@Warhorse
I don't think so. Some accounts are half-jokingly referred to as "fedi-famous," because they're prolific within the fediverse, so they're celebrities within this domain, but this domain only

@mayuresh3787
I'm not sure this toot will have the your intended effect, but I don't want to assume what that intention is. What are you trying to do with it?

@Tejas
Closest thing I can suggest is keybase.io

tbh, this is how I've seen consciousness for a long time; a function of the brain rather than something that arises from it. It's exciting to see a philosopher outright propose it!
