hybrid havoc

@rbreich@masto.ai trickle d is a very unflattering nickname

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services No, what you said was "Users can't really block instances unfortunately." You then used incredibly weird reasoning to explain that. That's not a FediTip, that's a FediMisleadingYouToPushAdminsToDefederate

@artemesia@techhub.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @kevinrns@mstdn.social Also mostly unnecessary since we're no longer in pre-emptive territory. If you're a user that wants to block the domain, just search for any threads user and do the block from their profile.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I'm sorry, I'm having trouble following your reasoning here. Your complaint is that a user blocking an instance still leaves posts from that instance visible to other users? How else would you possibly expect that to work?

This is interesting. I’ve been using Fakespot for years to improve online shopping. Wonder what is in store for its future. From @mozilla@mastodon.social https://mastodon.social/users/mozilla/statuses/110299696021174355

Great article from @mmasnick breaking down the three front-runner decentralized social protocols. For anybody interested, check it out. Loved seeing shoutouts for #Calckey, and for alternative Mastodon web clients like #Phanpy. https://mastodon.social/users/mmasnick/statuses/110278258978335092 I’m still betting on #ActivityPub of course, and have tried #Nostr. I look forward to getting invited to #Bluesky at some point, and in seeing what their federation actually looks like. Until that’s in place it’s all kind of moot.

@anderspuck@krigskunst.social The only problem with this is that having it implemented by the app means it also may only be supported for viewing by the app. Having it built into Mastodon standardizes how it’s handled and presented. IIRC The Ice Cubes approach is just a different handling of link previews for Mastodon links.

@darth@mastodon.online I’m here trying to avoid work.

@chancerydaily@masto.ai https://phanpy.social/ is quite nice as well, and does some really unique things. I’d love to see its boost carousel come to the stock web app, for example.
