:clippy: Are you sure you want to play on Torment VI?

The only part of Matrix: Resurrections I liked was the montage song (White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane)

@Gargron Grace Slick wrote White Rabbit while she was on another band, The Great Society, and watched Jefferson Airplane live at a San Francisco nightclub, called... The Matrix

@Gargron I thought everything up until neo jacked off was really promising, once he came irl it was all so limp and disappointing

@Gargron Some trivia about White Rabbit: It's loosely based on Ravel's Bolero.

Looking for suggestions for hardcoded report reasons besides "Other" (catch-all, legacy), "Spam", and "Violation". To clarify, any violation of a server rule would fall under "Violation", so I'm looking for suggestions that are usually not spelled out in server rules.

@Gargron "Disinformation" is going to have to be a report reason someday, if those automated / state-sponsored campaigns arrive here (they're on most discussion platforms)

@Gargron
How about "Extremism" , or
"Absolutism" . Both very good universal things to keep moderated.

Work has commenced on Mastodon for Android with @grishka and @lickability 🙂

@Gargron @grishka @lickability Can we please get support for the local timeline this time? I realize you don't find it useful on your huge instance, but it's the main reason I bother to be a mod for my local instance.

If you don't want everyone to centralize on your instance, you need to provide people with an incentive to run their own servers, and the local timeline is it. If you don't support it in Mastodon apps, it won't exist for people on phones (most people).

This has been a lot of work and it's still not finished, but I at least have the layout figured out now so I want to share my progress.

It's a redesign of the report screen in the moderation interface, including many small and medium changes to how things work, too many to describe here.

A screenshot of a redesigned report screen in Mastodon's moderation interface. It has a lot of elements on it.

@Gargron Oh wow, that's gorgeous. I'm looking forward to trying the redesign of the mod ui.

Clairement crevée

#LastBoost it's work in progress so i'm not sure how much feedback Gargron actually wants but

i, at least, would be interested to know what mods think about this, how much do you think that helps you, are there things that are worse or missing

PR here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p

I would like to hear some opinions, preferably from other Mastodon admins/moderators, regarding suspensions and unsuspensions.

Would you prefer to:

1. Let mods delete offending posts and send notifications to the author while increasing some internal strike count so mods know to enact harsher punishment in repeat cases, or

2. Let mods conditionally suspend accounts, allowing people to unsuspend themselves by agreeing to delete offending posts through their own action?

@Gargron in the case of 1, would the internal strike count include the deleted posts that coincided with the actions taken against that user? What about if that post was made as part of a thread? I feel like that could better help mods contextualize a user's behavior and whether it's part of a broader pattern, if that makes sense.

hacknorris

@Gargron i would post deletions. but yes, these with user-access... i think its more "humanish"

Halcek

@Gargron How about if a post is flagged by an admin, the author gets a countdown to hide the post as sensitive and it only gets deleted if this is not done by the user, after a certain period of time? (like e.g. counting down 72 hours to take action)...?

Eugen Rochko

joinmastodon.org is back up. The host it's on has been unstable after recent system updates, I will be looking into reinstalling everything elsewhere soon.

oshy

@Gargron Thats interesting because RaRuRe just went down and went back up at the same time *giggles*

Eugen Rochko

I'm wondering if the announcements feature is working the best that it can or if I took the wrong approach in its design...

GoatsLive

@Gargron Haven't had one pop up in quite awhile, but found it useful when it did. I'm guessing you just did a reboot?

Caac :verified:

@Gargron what is announcement feature pls tell me i love new features

Eugen Rochko

I don’t think I can implement a yearly recap feature and get it into a stable release that everyone will install before 2021 ends but I want to set it as a goal as a fun little feature for next year

Tagomago

@Gargron Probably not, but I wonder, would that enable a date-specific filter/search? E.g. "see my timeline of this date".

QuickQuokka (#1 YiiK Fan 🥇)

@Gargron Yearly recaps are bragging about how much data mining they've done on you. I don't like them.

Eugen Rochko

Someone got so mad at being suspended from mastodon.social they sent an e-mail to my hosting provider *and* the FBI

@Gargron The FBI has more important things to worry about than a crybaby that got digital time-out online. I wouldn't care too much about this whole thing.

@Gargron I suppose that's the way when cc's are free. :)

I'm curious if I could hear the difference between the HiFi and Master song quality on Tidal on my system. I couldn't find any samples on their site...

@Gargron Isn't that the one with the scammy new audio codec?

zorc :linuxmint: :regolith:

@Gargron Harry Nyquist and Claude Shannon would bet against that.

(I still love TIDAL's lossless HiFi streaming though.)

Eugen Rochko

I'm trying out Tidal instead of Spotify, though I think I will miss Discover Weekly and Release Radar.

@Gargron I switched to Apple Music and I miss Spotify very badly. Their playlists are eerily good.

Mike Flugennock

@Gargron A 1tb hard drive with all my music and movies on it, plugged onto a Macbook Air next to my drawing table, FTW.

Tre Babcock

@Gargron I honestly just couldn't stand the UI. Spotify feels a lot cleaner to me.

Eugen Rochko

Why did I decide to start working on something at 5am 😩

Laura Ritchie 🌸

@Gargron me too...

It's great to get stuff done! ...but hoping for a nap later....

"A Japanese research team said it developed a vaccine to remove so-called zombie cells that accumulate with age and damage nearby cells, causing aging-related diseases including arterial stiffening."

@Gargron
I wonder what David Sinclair thinks about this (gotta tell him)

Blort™ 🐀Ⓥ🥋☣️

@gargron This really reminds me of #AlteredCarbon, a bladerunner like show in the nearish future where the ultra rich basically live forever through expensive medical science while everyone else just tries to get by while aging and eventually dying. Great show, by the way, even if the future it depicts isn't...

@Gargron
TMAO has been shown to induce neuronal senescence(these zombie cells). I'm a firm believer that diet and lifestyle choices could wipe out 90% of our current medical problems. Wouldn't want to be the first in line for this.
