#mastodoncollections

Hey! I put up a quick Mastodon Collections directory! https://collections.mastoadmin.social Try it out, add some collections, use the search. Let me know if you find any issues! Thanks! #MastodonCollections #Collections #Fediverse

@cliffwade@infosec.exchange @poleguy@mastodon.social @mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @Mastodon@mastodon.social OK thanks for clarification. I have never encountered this collection thing before. And I'm not fully convinced yet, that muting normal words to avoid a rare encounter of something is a good strategy, but I will not tell people what to do. However using #mastodonCollections is not my favorite, because it's extremely long and it implies that no other fedi services could use collections (even if right now mastodon is certainly the only one)

@feyter@mastodon.gamedev.place I completely agree that muting normal words like this isn't ideal, unfortunately, that needs to be blamed on the game itself that uses that hashtag. It's not something we on the Fediverse came up. Rare? Far from rare. These posts are made by thousands every day, just like Wordle and Heardle and all of those. I personally choose what I want to see in my feed or what I don't want to see in my feed, and muting #Collections is one of the things I have to do to keep my timeline cleansed of the bullshit, for lack of better words. I also didn't suggest #MastodonCollections since again, you are right, it's a bit long. #MastoCollections or even #FediCollections would be good. On the opposite side of what you are saying about not muting common words, there's going to be tons of people that don't want to see these collections in their feed, and the simple solution would be to........guess what, mute the hashtag #Collections if that's what was used. So it's a total catch-22, as you might see. @poleguy@mastodon.social @mackaj@mastodon.me.uk @Mastodon@mastodon.social

To me #mastodoncollections is a failure. I can't create any collections since the feature "respects the integrity" (bunny ears) of users who are unfamiliar with Mastodon and don't know the setting exists tucked away in the web ui. I wanted to create a collection of social democratic accounts. No can do, buddy boy. Its for creating collections of power users who are up to date with the latest features. I just don't get why it can't be opt out instead of opt in. #mastodon #collections
