@mc Oh fuck yes, just found it! Shit man, this is ancient! I'm going to bed early and read this. :D

@mc Oh, memories! I've read this a loooong time ago! :D
I wonder if I still have it somewhere.

@customdesigned Huh, mastodon.org isn't related to the Fediverse? It's an empty domain?

And even then, every server is independent. They can defederate or federate with anyone.

But yeah, the people from that cast don't seem very well informed.

@apoorvalal Latex is a bit broken, best to stick to normal (or markdown) text or images if you wanted to display some math stuff.

@lijn Het is net als een emailadres. Je kan op gmail zitten of op ziggo. Dat moet dan dus in het adres staan.

Just finished reading the latest Suske & Wiske comic (365). 'De Boze Boleet', and it's all about (fantasy) mushrooms. I know a few of the Dutch people here are bonkers about mushrooms. Well, this one was a fun read. :)

Ik heb net de nieuwste Suske & Wiske gelezen (365). 'De Boze Boleet', en het gaat helemaal over (fantasie)paddestoelen. Ik weet dat er hier een paar Nederlanders zijn die compleet gek zijn van zwammen. Dit album was leuk om te lezen. :)

@drdrowland I've seen other people reporting on games (soccer mostly) with certain hashtags so that can be filtered out if people don't want to see it. So that's the other possibility if you don't want to go unlisted.

@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.

@drdrowland Yeah, or respond to your thread with posts marked as unlisted. That way only your followers would see everything. And if you wanted to spare your followers, a hashtag on every post they can filter that one out. It depends on how you want to approach this.

@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.

@drdrowland If it is any consolation, anyone can block and/or mute you? ;)

Though it probably helps if you give your stuff certain hashtags so people can filter it out.

@pj I should have waited a little bit longer. Yeah, they breached water, it indeed looks like it's filmed from above.

@peterdrake Yeah, subscribing's possible. Their posts can come with a delay and might have some missing. A server block makes the whole thing a bit iffy, but it's something.

I am also subscribed to somebody from that instance. He can't see my posts, but I can respond to them. And others from other instances who also follow him can interact with me. It's kinda funny. :P

@pj Oh they look vertical. If I recall correctly, that means they're asleep.

@PawelK Not surprising, they're opportunists after all.

@pj It probably would go PSSSSHT, or PSSSSSSH, or CRACKLE (And then a blackout).

@peterdrake Yeah when a server blocks Qoto that one might be hit or miss. If you don't mind me asking, what account would that be so I can see it too?

@josemanuel There's a difference between crossposting TO Twitter (which we likely wouldn't notice) and crossposting FROM Twitter (which we likely would notice).
