thank you admins of polyglot.city for approving of my application! I'll be moving my account to there starting today, so hopefully this works out

I think Gaming's name is cute, but if they wanted to make it more obvious that it's Cantonese (and avoid people calling him gaming as in the English word), the translators should have romanized his name as Gaaming instead

I BROKE MY #DUOLINGO STREAK FINALLY
freed from the owl! the streak was never a streak to begin with because I've spent so many streak freezes
man I've been thinking about moving off of mastodon.social, but I haven't found an instance who doesn't have some rule I disagree with or defederates an instance I think shouldn't be defederated.
I also would love to switch to an instance that has a character limit higher than 500 because this is so limiting
anyone have any recommendations? I have no clue what to tag this for but maybe #fediverse ?
citrus green tea today. smells better than it tastes (tastes like medicine to me?). would drink it again if I can't find anything better

There's a common false dichotomy about #Threads: cut them off, or leave it to user choice.

I can't speak to other software, but Mastodon offers a third option: limiting Threads. This can be done for all users of a server.

- You can follow Threads accounts after clicking through a warning.

- You have to manually approve followers _from_ Threads.

Note, however, that boosted posts will continue to appear in your home timeline:

Silenced users' content can appear on home timeline via boosts · Issue #26301 · mastodon/mastodon

Steps to reproduce the problem Preconditions: Have account Y status on local instance be Limited, or, account Y is on server Z which has a server-wide Limit in place on your local instance. Follow ...

jeez I didn't think the bot spam would follow me from tumblr. I got 40 mentions from just one not alone
There's a post doing the rounds which says that Meta's terms and conditions mean they plan to harvest Mastodon users' personal data to target them with ads. Unfortunately that post is misreading the T&Cs, and cherry-picks from a section which is clearly about Threads users, not "third party service users" (ie. us). Here's the full, unedited section.

So... I get banning the Threads server. I might do it myself, actually.

I get leaving an instance that doesn't ban Threads to join another instance that does ban it. Cool, migration is a feature of the fediverse.

But... don't ban servers that don't ban Threads. Like... that's some weird Civ III peer pressure bullshit.

I probably will ban Threads from my account. But I'm not leaving infosec.exchange. @jerry does entirely too well at server administration and this entire instance is comprised of too many people to be of one mind.

Like... we can all agree, no nazi's and racist shit, right? But politics and socio-economic models... fuuuck.... there's no way.

And I really want to talk with y'all. And I really really really don't want to spin up my own instance right now.

So. Ban Threads. Don't ban Threads. Instance wide or individually. But don't balkinize each other because of each other's stance for/against/indifferent Threads.
