I like that it is free of ads and respects privacy and independence of infrastructure is build-in, which makes it the perfect social network.

@Gargron @dangillmor as of 2023 it is already the greatest social platform ever made. even better than vine and ‘08 twitter

@Gargron I'm hugely grateful for Mastodon. You're doing great work here, thank you.

@Gargron yes! I love Metric, awesome band. I prefer the first albums though (including the one which was delayed a lot and its their actual first album, "Grow up and blow away")

@Gargron Been enjoying it deeply all day.

@Gargron bin vor ein paar Monaten über deren Song Doomscroller gestolpert und mochte dann auch gleich das ganze Album. #SynthPop #Metric

@Gargron Is there a translate button for that? #HNOM

@Gargron Didn't know you were a #Dota2 fan! 😊

@Gargron Good news. What was the net gain ?

@Gargron 👍🏻

@Gargron 😘💕

@Gargron I thought you were talking about Deerhunter and, to my surprise, it’s another really nice band!

@Gargron heerlijke muziek

@Gargron loving the returned version of the album. How do you like it compared to the original?

@Gargron Looks much better. Links are an important part of the web. Good that you agree with that. While the other guy on the single letter app, reduces visibility of posts with links.

@Gargron indeed they are. on the other hand they sometimes steal attached pictures the show.

@Gargron I just wish that if it was a link to another toot, it showed the whole toot without my having to click instead of the current behavior.

@Gargron yep yep yep!

@Gargron At work, we're getting pressure to 'use more ai' and 'do something innovative with ai'. Turns out all our clients are asking about it, and we're being regarded as not as good as competitors because we're 'not using ai', so we're just supposed to shoehorn it in somehow.

We're actually using machine learning in several areas, but apparently ai now means chatbots and generative art.

@Gargron AI is a tool that is not too different from the earlier models. More cpu/gpu power. A big data mining available for the big private collectors such as meta, ms, alphabet etc. it’s useful and important but not how is being told and sell … but it’s interesting i/o refined to generate a program :)

@Gargron yeah I feel the same, it's so dissonating to see them go down this route

@Gargron Is there now a solution for the missing photos and pictures that are not displayed in my profile and timelines? Since yesterday, only the new ones were gone and now everything old is missing.

@Gargron they did say they were changing things, since it sounded extremely unhealthy for the game to keep doing what they were doing.

@Gargron I’ve had it on repeat. “Real Life” is a brilliant track!

@Gargron Very nice! Lots layers and depth in this song.

@Gargron where is the Piped link?

@gargron
👍 🙂

Hier noch mal das Video ohne Tracking:

@Gargron @zdfmagazin @ErikUden How about an official Mac app, mona has too many unneeded features

@Gargron @zdfmagazin @ErikUden Even with YouTube's automatic translation I only understood about 20% of that… however, it was hilarious and awesome. Welcome Erik!

@Gargron Sounds pretty much like a song by Ásgeir.

@Gargron the literal translation of the word "bullet" from that song would be quite interesting!

@Gargron @OldAintDead that is beautiful! And what a lot of work went into it. Love it!

@Gargron and #bookstodon !

@Gargron Digitised to make their appearance here?

@Gargron I remain somewhat torn on whether or not I should post photos here or on Pixelfed on a separate account. Fediverse can be a bit confusing at times.

@Gargron
Done.
Thanks.
🙂​

@Gargron Would it make sense to have a one-time splash screen the informs users of this option after a certain key upgrade? I feel like this is essential to Mastodon's growth.

@Gargron Thank you, I assumed this was the default setting.

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw Great to hear about the search and cross-instance interaction features.

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw lol…if the verge and nilay ‘worked more like they’re supposed to’ they’d be all-in on mastodon 😆🥱 but hey, congrats on the good press – well earned

@Gargron @ardent_handsaw With this version, a lof of network errors occur, e.g. when expanding a post to see all replies. It hangs, then the lower left corenr shiows many 'oops..unexpected errors'.

The list functionality is broken as well. (e.g. when clicking on the list, the same network errors occur). deleting the lists fixes that.

@Gargron congratulations!!!!

@Gargron Thanks! Upgraded mastodon.habets.dev to 4.2 today.

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/09/mastodon-4.2/

@Gargron is that a version of Mastodon mobile app or server software?

@Gargron
Here's a nice picture of the nail ;-)

@Gargron I heard a lot of people telling me: They are not affected by all the fascists and nazis in the slightest, since their community isn’t part of “general twitter” (whatever this means). But I cannot believe they’d be willing to pay Musk directly, would they?

@Gargron

I was permanently suspended from Twitter/X merely because I repeated some bad things about Tesla cars I'd seen in the news & Consumer Reports; & in the same post I quoted the price of Dogecoin which Musk is fond of.

@Gargron gorgeous!!! ☀️☀️

@Gargron it looks like film will always be better than digital.

@Gargron 👌👌👌

@Gargron Wow. Excelent mix! Love that snare sound.

@Gargron They haven't missed yet with the singles releases. I'm SO amped up for the full album.

@Gargron "War of Being" is available on Spotify, in it's entirety. 😉

@Gargron yes, yes it is!

@Gargron May I ask you which record player do you have?

@Gargron is there a reason why the option “always show sensitive content” doesn’t translate to the mastodon app? It only works on the desktop version, on the app you still have to click on every picture that is marked as sensitive to un-blur it.
