The funny thing is, a few weeks ago, I had a "status" feature on Twitter (beta testing), which was fun, and the ability to post a GIF, JPG, and video all in one post at the same time.
All that is gone, but businesses now have square avatars and gold check marks, so that's neat.
A poll tax is coming to Twitter. Only Elon fans can participate.
Also, we didn't vote on this change, but 🤷
Introducing FREEBIRD TRENDS!
Currently, Mastodon only shows trending hashtags from the past 24-48 hours.
Which is good, but does not allow users to discover and talk about the most latest trends.
Freebird Trends is a simple web application that shows 1H, 12H and 24H trending hashtags for Mastodon!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You can view the web app at https://freebird.network
Please share suggestions/bugs! Always looking to improve this service in any way possible! 🐦
Excellent reporting from Eileen Guo (https://www.eileenguo.com) in the MIT Tech Review: "A Roomba recorded a woman on the toilet. How did screenshots end up on Facebook?" untangling the well-named "global supply chain for data"
Protip for the new mastodonians: don't obfuscate names or words - only hashtags work for search so you won't get troll bombed if you say Elon Musk.
Filters, however, work on anything, so those who don't want to see Elon Musk won't see this post.
But if you write El*n M*sk they WILL see it, and that might make them mad, so don't do it okay? Let people use their filters.
@jpwhiteside Yeah, that's how I feel, too. Telegram is a LOT of fun to use and constantly gets excellent updates. Teams for consumers .... eh. I don't see it ever as being a thing.
It will be interesting to see if MS integrates it (Teams Chat) into Start for its "super app," per The Information.
I wonder if the app is going to get better. Do people who use this here still like Teams, or is it "I'm forced to by work," situation?
Microsoft Teams Premium is set to come out in February 2023. You can try it now in preview to see if it's worth $10 per month. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/you-can-now-try-microsoft-teams-premium-for-free-heres-how-to-sign-up
