Owing to lax moderation and incompatible priorities I will shortly be instance-blocking mastodon.social for the sake of my mental health.
If you currently follow me from mastodon.social and would like to keep following me, I suggest you migrate to a more friendly server.
Now that I've been using #SignalApp for a week, I've noticed three problems with it. Figured I'd share so more folks can know.
1. There is no server-side storage to speak of. If you want to save all your message history, you're gonna need space for it. On a phone, that might become a problem over time. As a side-effect, when you add a new device, you don't get your chat history.
2. Sticker sets can't be edited or deleted. Make damn sure it's the very last final-final version before you upload.
Did you know that you can just not?
@El_ I didn't wanna crow about it.
Apparently my voice sounds like a guy who has a frog in his throat.
I take this as a sign that my DIY voice training is going pretty damn well. :)
On this topic, would anyone get mad at me if I quietly increased the funding goal of #EveryBusVlog by £90?
(don't worry, I'm not actually gonna do that)
@JayJustice Whatever it is, it *does* look neat!
And you're welcome.
Darn nice work!
I have a strange relationship to all the Captains Marvel, in that I love them all equally but differently. (Except for that robot that goes "Split!" and "Xam!".) Monica Rambeau is, to me, The Professional: she's not an alien or a pilot or a different alien or a kid with a magic word, she's the police officer who put all her professional know-how into superheroing. I don't know why more heroes don't have police training, but Monica makes good use of hers.
