@trinsec @freemo Yeah, it's hurtin'. It was very slow when I first took a look, I got one or two 504s browsing around.

@trinsec @freemo Ah, all the way at the footer on that page. Got it. https://git.qoto.org/qoto/qoto/-/tree/qoto, yeah?

@freemo Is the forked source for the qoto.org instance available? I wanted to see how something works. Expected to find details on https://qoto.org/about/more. Looked around https://github.com/qoto-org a bit but couldn't find a particular branch that looked likely.

@nelson The svelte jogger sweats yes, the Rocky Balboa grey ones with 17 knots in the drawstring that look wet even when they're not, no.

@georgetakei Thanks for joining and everyone cross your fingers this thread alone doesn't break the whole thing.

(Here's the authoritative issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/309 - making it easy/elegant to QT makes it "immediately actionable", " very often invites the followers to join in on the conversation, and whoever has got more of them ends up having the upper hand " - Gargron. Totally agree.)

(Oh OK, Mastodon doesn't expand linked toots. So there isn't easy/elegant QT, but there still is QT, and without search and data, hmm, that's not great for abuse I think. But such is the case with anything linkable.)

Trying something

(With a side of "the cable company sold you a VOIP addon, was it?")

Getting a lot of email lately from local businesses telling me phones are down.

As you give your email out to trees, you hear an increasing number of forest sounds. Sometimes falling noises. I wasn't going to call y'all anyway but thanks!

(Those pesky forgotten denominators!)

@jdekstrand Yeah, it's very good the warning gets passed on to conversations/replies by default (I think it can also be removed, as I did with this reply?) although I've often wished these systems wouldn't inline replies into the feed no matter who I follow that's involved. (I prefer to see the post being replied to first, then go from there, rather than reversing it.)

I like the implication here that people are diagnosed having trouble focusing often because they have to focus often. As we in aggregate increasingly don't need to focus, it does suck to have to be one of those who does, and sometimes I can't, but it's also easy for me a lot of the time w/ no chemical help (noodly music does help.)

I'd like to understand more about why people apply CW vs. tagging. Maybe CW is appropriate as the opposite of tagging? - "this content is not meant for anyone to find, it embarasses me, it is the opposite of tagged/searchable?" (That is not how I'd like to see titled posts go down!)

Emergent/unexpected use of software features is to be expected, but I'd roll out a title mode for this pretty quickly in response - I suspect most people don't want to read/dismiss what people are writing as title (but it's fine if people want to write a title.)

The thing where people use Mastodon content warning as a title is questionable. Once people are accustomed to ignoring a warning it's broken.
