CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@greenoffice_rug Heel goed

@phl @_elena They probably think it appeals to them. And I'm afraid that's the only thing that matters.

@_elena In case you missed it, there was a follow-up episode about it on the collaborating podcast, #HardFork:

Hard Fork: Jonathan Haidt Strikes Again + What You Vibecoded + An Update on the Forkiverse

@_elena Ah, I hadn't thought to look there. Thanks!

@stefan @GrahamDowns Ah! I'll write a comment to link these two separate issues together then

@_elena That was interesting! I like how they presented setting up a Mastodon instance as "starting their own social media platform". I suppose that is what they did, in a way.

Also interesting that they suggest the Fediverse's goals are old-fashioned, in wanting to go back to social media the way it was ten, fifteen years ago. Also a fair assessment... But what would be a non-evil way of making something new that appeals to younger people, then?

@_elena Thanks! Thankfully, it does not. I have vibe sinned myself in my time

@_elena I'd never heard of this. Interesting!

@_elena I've been trying to do this on Moshidon and while I do believe it can do this, I can't find out how

@GrahamDowns Found it: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21556

I went ahead and linked this recent debacle.

@GrahamDowns I felt much the same as you scrolling through those comments... Someone posted a screenshot showing a message saying they could sign up on a different server and straight up said it was invite-only. (Showing off their poor reading skills in the progress.)

I guess this message will somehow need to be communicated even clearer. People don't read, is what this teaches us... I saw a feature suggestion on the Mastodon git page about this somewhere, I'll see if I can find it back.

I finished the sashiko patch this morning... Because I wanted to wear these!

Now to see where the next tear develops

All right, time for another patch of sashiko on these pants. You can sort-of tell I've been getting better at it over the years
