@[email protected] ah, thanks. Guess migrating will be my project for tomorrow
@mingistech how’s toot.community working out for you? It feels hard to judge the value of different instances without first-hand knowledge
@corv this is a good tip, thanks! What are the main elements to prioritize when looking for a new home?
Mastodon’s vibes are good until I get hit with an error message like “Too Many Requests” when I try to toot and have absolutely no idea what to make of it

Hello to all The Verge readers giving me a follow based on @thedextriarchy’s writeup!

Let’s hope the dopamine rush is enough to keep me off the bird app

@dcseifert Crimson is the best Alkaline Trio album
@caseynewton interesting! but idk, it feels like that model would flip reddit's subreddit format so thoroughly on its head that I'm not sure if it'd even be recognizable

@caseynewton I think it would have to find some balance between the curation of the "Best" post ranking, and the newness of "New."

By default when I open the site I'm often seeing news that's one to two days old under "Best," but sorting by "New" just feels like spraying a Reddit post firehose at your own face.

As much as people complain about Twitter's ranking algorithms, it does a decent job showing you important posts from the last five minutes without getting overwhelming.
