The thing that people see an issue with, is the fact that a lot of people use it to "harass" others in front of their followers as if to say "laugh at this fool". However, if this is truly the "open" web, that's just gonna be a thing.

I hope they eventually make it an official feature as well, but for now, most third party apps have it built-in.

Social Media: a place where people block you so you can't reply to their misinformation to inform people that it's wrong.

#SocialMedia #Fedi #Fediverse #Mastodon

 

To people complaining about the Nostr bridge today, (the one that's been here for years now) you DO know that there's no way to tell what anyone is doing with your public posts, right?

There's even a RSS feed that cannot be turned off for EVERY Mastodon account that anyone can read and you'd never even know...

If you want privacy, post privately. If you're posting publicly, you have no expectation of privacy.

Fedi Dev Tip:

Develop features that you say you would for some time instead of implementing crap nobody wants or asked for.

Any Fedi Dev that implements privacy ruining age verification crap will not succeed. I promise.

Do better.

Looking at you, Sharkey...๐Ÿ˜’

By the way, where's that "Mastodon API" feature that you've advertised for the past year?๐Ÿคจ

After a year and a half of being on Fedi, I'm still seeing people on an open communication platform recommending others block open communication across platforms (bridges).

Do you know what the Fediverse IS?!?!๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

If you post an image I like and don't use alt text even after I've asked, you are giving me permission to download and re-upload the image with alt text.

Just saying.

Use alt text so I can boost your post or I will.

This is pretty much me with Fedi. Can't hold hobbies to save my life. Pretty sure I've dropped one tonight. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I've been here for almost a year and half now. There's been ups and downs but I've always been here and will continue to be here until this place isn't.๐Ÿซถ

Seems like the new Mastodon version is a must skip for those of us who like actual information about notifications...๐Ÿ˜’

Soo that's what I'll be doing. Skipping it.

Still looking for an alternative that doesn't require Linus Torvalds to personally come to your house and install it himself, but that's currently not a thing. Need Linus Torvalds or the equivalent for pretty much everything.๐Ÿ˜ฉ

@abff08f4813c@j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.us Well I'm technically an admin of my own instance, so if it could live on my own instance and report like a normal user and not use the "forward to original instance" that'd be just fine. I got blocked by Eugen Rochko for suggesting such a thing.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@abff08f4813c@j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.us I've been begging for something official that could just report it to me and nobody else. Like a personal automatic reporting system for posts that i might wanna check out based on keywords like regex.

 

It sure would be nice to have some automated reporting by keywords right about now....you know, the thing I was explicitly told was NOT gonna happen...๐Ÿคฌ

@JPEGuin@mastodon.social great to hear, friend!

Also, if you could make it so that I can add alt texts to gifs, that'd be nice.๐Ÿ˜

@JPEGuin@mastodon.social I forgot to tag you. Here's my thoughts. ๐Ÿ‘†

Overall good experience. There's still some random crashes that I can't reproduce effectively enough to help you solve them.๐Ÿ˜ฌ They seem to happen sometimes when I open the details of a post but it's not often enough to ruin the experience for me. Overall very good app.

I do suggest you come up with some exclusive features for your premium model and don't return to locking posting behind it, that was what initially turned me off from the app but since then, I've enjoyed it overall.

@jimmyd2@fosstodon.org he seems to have removed that.

As far as I can tell, you can post freely now, though he might change it down the line...๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Ivory also costs a fee, but it does have an overall more full featured product.

 

I've been using Saturn for iOS for a bit now and ever since the most recent updates, it seems very enjoyable.

It has most of the same features as other third party Mastodon apps, but with its own look and feel.

I think the only thing that could make it better for me, would be if it had a "Hashtag Drawer" type feature for the composer so that I could save individual hashtags with CamelCase for re-use.

It's something I've been wanting in a Fediverse app for SO long.

But if you want a new app to mess around with, Saturn is very good from what I've seen with it.๐Ÿ‘

@parpol@programming.dev not much we can do when you know they were gonna take over the whole protocol.

I'm just a single person wanting to talk to people on those platforms. Defederating them wouldn't have stopped them from doing anything they're doing or plan on doing.

 

Ugh. Threads keeps adding Fediverse features that are only benefitting themselves.

They can now see our usernames if we follow them and if we like their posts.

Still can't mention us or follow us back...which is the main part that's keeping their integration from being functional.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I just want open communication across platforms dammit. It's not that hard. It doesn't take a whole year. One man did it for a platform that he doesn't even work for, in just a few months!

@lonelyowl13 @pixelworld_ai if it was normal art that takes hours or days to complete, I can see wanting to earn money from it, but yeah, AI art isn't really worth that unless you do a lot of editing to make a final product.

[โ€“] BeAware@social.beaware.live 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

@pixelworld_ai@aipub.social I got one subscriber, and that's the devs...๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I appreciate them, but I posted 1 thing there and it's just saying that I don't know what to post there.๐Ÿ˜‚

 

About to give Saturn another go for a few days hopefully.

The dev has removed the post limit for free users, which is definitely good.

Paying to post on Fediverse where everywhere else is free, is wild.

They also said they fixed the crash bug with notifications. Those two things immediately killed my motivation with wanting to use the app so hopefully it's better this time.๐Ÿคž
