A quick 10 minute devtools mockup of a Threads-like Mastodon theme. Just for fun.

@rolle the site to show to the people who say "Mastodon/the Fediverse is dead."

@rolle Lmaooo > If you like to torture yourself I feel this describes a bad amount of people using Mastodon. Like, is it an age thing, or a culture thing? Mastodon is fun but I feel like people on the platform have a weird expectation for Mastodon to be a lifestyle or something more than literally just a website. Misskey's size, development history, and decentralization are all comparable to Mastodon, and it seems like people there are a million times happier on average.

It’s approximately one year since the peak of the enshittification of Twitter and the big Mastodon influx. Let’s ask again: What is your main microblogging platform? Boosts welcome. Anonymous poll

Bluesky and Fediverse might get two way bridge after all. https://snarfed.org/2023-10-06_bridgy-fed-status-update-7 #Bluesky #BlueskySocial #Mastodon #ActivityPub #ATProto #Fediverse

Lauren Wu (Kayna on TFT)
@rolle Want to make sure @Teri_Kanefield sees this! I would love to keep Mastodon as my home base and selectively connect to Bluesky accounts.
Matti Järvinen
@rolle totally mixed feelings. Moderation might be of an issue if the latest Jack Dorsey social media ends up like the X.

@rolle promising that mastodon is a safe space is dangerously overoptimistic, people have been burned believing that promise, is it better? Heck yes, but "safe"? no, not by a wide margin.
Chris 🌱 :verified_purple:
@rolle under safe space I'd honestly say Masto is a "maybe" Far more likely than in the other spots ofc

I'd like a row for whether posts can be viewed without an account / without logging in. I think X/Twitter is "sort of" because now you can only see one post, but not all the replies, if someone posts a twitter link. I don't know what the status is for Bluesky or Threads. I think on Mastodon public posts w/ public replies can be seen without logging in, as long as no blocking or other federation issues? Please correct if wrong!

looks very cool - but: hmmm … this tool supposedly jas CORS issues at the server - and I should contact the admin … sorry, but I don’t know what that means ..?

@rolle @raikas Tagging @IceCubesApp to see if this is a cool feature to add (and if you decide to implement it, maybe automate adding the post text as the image alt text? 😁).

C&C: Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge for Linux. Just tested on @pop_os_official and it works! https://github.com/mmtrt/cncra2yr #Linux #Games #LinuxGaming

Ooh! C&C on kyl nostalginen sarja, mut aina kun oon koittanut niin ei oo toiminut oikein. Josko nyt!

I was looking for a reply in a post earlier this year but then found it's gone. This is kinda a downside, I wish old replies could be re-fetched, never thought it's "impossible to undo". It could work in a way it would backfill the replies once the post is accessed, but tech-wise I understand if it's not possible. Question for admins: Are you doing something to circumvent this?
Roni Laukkarinen
Masto.host suggests this should be left blank. Never realized how dangerous this is for the content on your own server.

OMG #MastodonBirdUI has 200 stars. ⭐ Thank you so much for using it. Never did I ever imagine something I made for myself would pique interest of so many of you.
Roni Laukkarinen
I'm utterly and totally knee-deep in coding my own #Mastodon server. :blob_smile_sweat2: By the way, if you'd like to join, the doors are open. There are 13 rules on my experimental server, the most important one being: Be kind. #MastoAdmin #MementoMori

@rolle others already compared it to IRC which makes more sense. It may fall out of fashion and become a wasteland like IRC but it will never actually die outright. This being said I am pretty sure we’re still in the growth phase. Once you’ve tested no ads & no suggested posts (also ads) it feels crazy to come back to commercial social networks even if that’s still normal life for a vast majority.

@rolle@mementomori.social the same goes with other fedi servers like Akkoma, Misskey and so on :blobcat_snicker:
