mastodon 4.7.2Veteran of the open web since 1993, still likes doing raw HTML by hand. Day job at Open Education Global, crafter of SPLOTs, web toys, silly mashups, and long winded blog posts other times. Now juggling 3 mastodon accounts. Typos are my trademark, a sure fire measure of there being no AI creating my stuff.
Thanks for all the toots.... Getting ready to alias this account to a new mastodon home at @cogdog@cosocial.ca
Followers should be transferred there because Mastodon Does This Well
Many thanks to @lightweight@mastodon.oeru.org @mackiwg@mastodon.oeru.org for providing a home at social.fossdle.org I was not unhappy there!
Not that it matters too much because Mastodon makes it smoooooth, but preparing to migrate my instance from New Zealand to Canada.
All set up, will set the move tomorrow.
No film at 11
Yes, I will stoop to bribing to solicit submission of [legit] events added to our new Open Education Week website.
Anyone? Anyone?
@Aaronvegh@mastodon.social signed! Also nice to see an RSS feed for the petition
@dnorman@social.ds106.us Actually you have web pages emailed to your office assistant who prints them out for you to read.
@leighelse@mastodon.nz This is a serious and important story. Thanks
I can't help but notice that this "news" site (and almost every other one reporting same story) opens with maybe 75% of the viewing space covered with ad barnacles.
I can't imagine there's not heavy tracking happening right here.
Also there are no outward hyperlinks.
The web we once knew is disappearing under this barnaclization!
@kate might appreciate the moving photos but also the narrative alt text of @DorotheaLange@mastodon.ozioso.online
@DorotheaLange@mastodon.ozioso.online these are such fascinating images and also demonstrates very helpful image descriptions
@kate@aus.social Olivia is far from intelligent she can only book appointments, she can’t help with anything.
@fgraver@hcommons.social Except if you actually follow the links in this “story” you get to some gambling web site. The actual URL for what it describes is http://jamesharris.design/periodic/ It’s more helpful when sharing IMHO to go upstream to the sources.
@dnorman@social.ds106.us Don't you have a bot for that?
Okay Fedi-Experts. Whay would a post I made that has a "dailycreate" tag
NOT show up in my link for tagged content (previous ones do)
This inconsistency is baffling.
@s2art@ausglam.space Agreed, my numbers were seat of the pants estimate. I'm mostly curious how many make use of the broad federated timeline (very low so far) or the conversations on their instance (also low).
Yeah, I live in my home feed, which was always my Twitter strategy to follow many, but read mostly from a curated list.
@carpetbomberz@mastodon.online @sheilmcn@mastodon.social @clintlalonde@mastodon.oeru.org
So what happened between the classes of 1984 and 1999?
@MsMapex@social.ds106.us @tdc@social.ds106.us I know! It’s more than magic to find a 34 letter word, it’s mathemagical!
@clintlalonde@mastodon.oeru.org @sheilmcn@mastodon.social @carpetbomberz@mastodon.online Can't say I saw it, was just searching for "movies teachers Robocop"
It could be one of those movies where its obvious actors are choosing to fulfil a contract.
I'm curious what timelines people put their attention into, can't make it easily into a poll. But something like:
Following/Local/Federated time/Hashtag percentages?
Mine would be like
90/0/1/9
since I'm on a nice tiny but quiet instance, and hardly only peek at federated when bored.
I have an org account where we follow almost anyone, so in that case it's more like
10/0/0/90
As really I look at a few hashtags, the following is too noisy
