I just realised by clicking on the three dots in your profiles and clicking mention, I can add all you great folks in to one toot, just so I can say
@The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @jneill @ParkinJim not in the iOS version it doesn’t. I have the Advanced Web Interface checked and the “three dots” only allows “block, mute and report”, none of which I wish to do btw.
@podgyfingers @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @jneill any "open in browser" option?
@podgyfingers @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @jneill
This is what I get for you on the Mastodon app on Android
@The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @jneill same on Mastsdon app
@ParkinJim @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @jneill
This is how you open it on Tusky
@Dunningkruger @ParkinJim @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @jneill
But does that let you just click the name to add to a toot, and allow you to repeat for lots of other people? No copy and paste?
If I'm on Tusky I do it that way, which takes a while!
Be good if there was a better way.
@The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @ParkinJim @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado
Now this is interesting. People on mastadonapp are unavailable in the Tusky preview for me and removed when I click the post. I'm on mas(.)to.
@jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado
It's not one of the blocked instances for your
https://mas.to/about
@jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado however if I add in @podgyfingers and @JohnWest_JAWS then you will see them.
It's because the initial post was from @The_Colbobs who's on mstdn.social and mstdn.social has blocked mastodonapp.uk
The "joy" of decentralised social media.
@ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS Hold up. Why has mstdn.social blocked mastodonapp.uk ?
@Gargron
@stux @Stuxhost
@stux@mstdn.social is this something you can answer/help with? Seems to me these federated instances all need to intercommunicate?
@LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux @Stuxhost @stux they do communicate, but they also have their own policies as to what is acceptable.
For example, there are instances like kiwifarms and gab, which are blocked by most of the "Fediverse"
@ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social Feeling a bit tech-thick here but why is not the poster @ the instance who is blocked - the whole instance seems a bit counter-productive..? Or have I misunderstood? Apologies if so..
@LittleGreyRab @ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social It's nearly impossible as a new user to know which server to pick so I just picked one at random. This server could be blocked by a server with my favourite users on and then we can't interact
@Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @ParkinJim @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social
So long as you don't sign up for an explicitly abusive server, you're fine.
If it's advertised on joinmastodon.org, then it's very unlikely to be widely blocked.
@paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux @Stuxhost @stux
mastsdonapp.uk is advertised there, however it has subsequently been blocked by mastodon.social
I think it is something to do with JK Rowling
@ParkinJim @paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @Gargron @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social that’s not very comforting. With the current mass migration of Twits maybe Mastodon.org will get its collective ducks in a row!
@podgyfingers @ParkinJim @paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux@mstdn.social Wait, what? I haven't kept up with this thread but mastodonapp.uk is not and has never been blocked by mastodon.social. Our list of server blocks is public.
@Gargron @podgyfingers @paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @stux @Stuxhost @stux
Ah, I think it was mstdn.social that blocked it for a while
@ParkinJim @Gargron @podgyfingers @paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @stux@masto.ai @Stuxhost @stux
Think I'm up to date now, with the toots, so what's the latest? Mstdn.social and mastodon.social don't have blocks on mastodonapp.uk?
@The_Colbobs @Gargron @podgyfingers @paulkgrimes @Dunningkruger @LittleGreyRab @jneill @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves@glasgow.social @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @stux @Stuxhost @stux I think mstdn.social did for a while
@ParkinJim @jneill @Dunningkruger @catvaxlax @Madmixchaves @kamado @podgyfingers @JohnWest_JAWS
Had no idea that block had happened.
@ParkinJim @The_Colbobs @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS @jneill it looks like not only server confusion but platform confusion! Almost certainly teething troubles but at least it keeps us all busy trying to figure it out 🤯
@ParkinJim @podgyfingers@mastodonapp.uk @catvaxlax @Dunningkruger @Madmixchaves @kamado @JohnWest_JAWS@mastodonapp.uk @jneill
On the desktop I just clicked mention [insert name] for each person I wanted to mention i9n a toot, using advanced web view. Nothing even close to that on Tusky.
