If you had to use a simple, verb-centric sentence to describe Mastodon, what would it be?
If you had to use a simple, verb-centric sentence to describe Mastodon, what would it be? Here's a demo of the sign-up process in the Mastodon for iOS app, recorded by @DavidBlue :thinkhappy:

@Gargron @Gargron you meant https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=azV0Y7v6wsg ? I'm not going to YOUTUBE. But Invidious is fine to access it. "Facebook and its advertisers are ‘panicking’ as the majority of iPhone users opt out of tracking" https://9to5mac.com/2021/07/14/facebook-tracking-app-tracking-data/ :jeb:

It's nice to see this so-called attention economy in flames, at last. As a user, I generally oppose the very concept of advertising anywhere at all unless that place is directly related to shopping. If I wanted to buy something, I'd go to a mall, thank you very much. Do you think it would be helpful if you could select which rule you think a post/account has violated when making a report instead of having to type it out by hand?

I need to figure out which accounts (with permission) to feature in the App Store screenshots and I'm not even sure where to begin...

Thanks to the generous help of the previous owner of the mastodon username on GitHub, our GitHub organization has finally been renamed to mastodon! 🎉 I know that changing the repository URL is a bother but I think it’s worth it and better done sooner than later. Tootsuite was not serious and had no connection to our actual name.

It's been at least a month since the Spotify desktop app redesign and I'm still struggling with using it Why is search behind another click now? I have to hunt down "recently played" in a random spot on "Home". I just accidentally clicked the green play button when I didn't mean to because I mistook it for a "scroll row to the right" navigation button because all of these things are single rows and you'd assume they scroll, right? But no, you have to click "see all" above

@Gargron Spicetify can fix some of these problems: You can customize the Home screen by pinning segments like Recently Played to the top so that they are always visible or hide other segments. Highly recommend it if you're fine with running a modified Spotify client. It also has nice themes, support for add-ons, a better playlist shuffle script and some other nice things. https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli @Gargron can we all just go back to buying physical media? at least that was easy to figure out and did not require metadata collection via internet to use Next week we're going to get to the creation of the App Store assets/copy so I guess the release of the app is creeping ever so closer You won't catch me upgrading to Windows 11... I'll be using 8.1 until it's obsolete and perhaps even after.

@Gargron Over at where I work, at least one of our computers still has W7. (I think there's also one or two W8.1 computers there too.) I really like the new dark mode colors in the iOS app (latest TestFlight build). Have never been much of a fan of #000000 in system apps.

@Gargron am I missing something? I’m on the recent Mastodon TestFlight but I don’t see true black as an option? Just to confirm, there's no way to get Universal Links on #iOS working with a decentralized platform, right? Seems like it'd require hard-coding all possible domains into the app.

@Gargron home assistant uses a redirect proxy but otherwise i’m not sure it’s possible https://my.home-assistant.io/faq/ I am feeling absolutely fine but every person I've talked to (incl. social media) is expecting me to feel sick after the second vaccine so if I wasn't gonna feel anything I'm afraid now I might get it psychosomatically

@Gargron congrats. I plan on making wearing a mask in public a part of permanent habit. Before my first shot I started developing a sweat and a sense of fever half an hour before I even got the shot, haha
Are there any Siri Shortcuts you wish there were in the iOS app? Like presumably "New post" is one. Anything else?

@Gargron There seems to be a GTA 5 game mod, or something, that seems to make HTTP requests directly to mastodon.social, with insane frequency. Intentional or not, it's basically a DDoS. The requests used to come with HTTP referrer "nui-game-internal" but I just found they switched their user agent to mask as a browser.
