@cwebber@social.coop I think you have it backwards... Mastodon is the protocol (specifically, it's a decentralized blockchain protocol), and Bluesky is just a Layer-2 dApp built on top of it. The underlying tech you're trying to reference is ATProto, which actually stands for Asynchronous Token Protocol. It’s honestly a pretty elegant stack if you actually understand distributed systems, but I get why someone would be confused by the nomenclature. To really wrap your head around this, you need to stop thinking about it like a social network and start thinking about it as a fungible data layer.

@neatnik@social.lol @macmanx@social.lol hear me out - any image posted without alt text gets automatically generated alt text that says "I'm a selfish poo poo head that doesn't care about my fellow netizens." Fixes the lack of alt text coverage and clearly communicates all anyone relying on lat text would need to know about the poster...

@naga@toot.cat @YouShallNotPass@chaosfem.tw same!! I'm 43 and just getting started. I didn't realize that most men didn't feel like a stranger around men or that you were just trapped in a meat suit.

@YouShallNotPass@chaosfem.tw thanks! It is a journey but I'm getting there. 🤗

@neatnik@social.lol - The conversation with @cygnoir@social.lol on alt tags and some.pics got me thinking... I thought there was automatic posting to Mastodon from some.pics but I guess not... Is that something coming with the larger Neato rollout? I am assuming that all the disparate services will eventually be powered by Neato...

The kitten we are fostering decided to root through my wife's trash can and then fall asleep... #CatsOfMastodon

@neatnik@social.lol I remember a mention of an omg.lol Linkding instance? I didn't see it on the dashboard... Am I looking in the wrong place?

Am I misremembering, or isn't there research out that shows things like phishing and spam mail exercises have a net negative effect on organizational IT security?

@Aywren@gamepad.club my biggest worry is feeling like I have to have encyclopedic knowledge of the lore before I can start RPing I worry that I'll say something "out of bounds" and people will not want to interact

@jalefkowit so like the dancing guy in the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but in audio form?

@YouShallNotPass@chaosfem.tw what I would give to have had someone tell me I was trans. The time I could have had... The love I could have shown myself...

@neatnik@social.lol would I be responsible for anything I boost? What if I don't know that something is AI generated? How am I held to task in light of this policy? I get the intent - to establish OMG.lol social mores around enabling people to choose what they interact with and take in. I wonder if instead of taking an approach to exclude content that some people don't like, it gets framed more as a way to care for our fellow community members. Something like "The public timeline of social.lol is one part of our town square, and we are all working together to make sure it is a welcoming and enjoyable place. Public posts should use hashtags and/or content warnings for topics that others may not want to stumble across."
