Hmm, does anybody know how long it takes after having created an alias (to @matherion) before #mastodon (specifically, @matherion) lets me start the account move/redirect?

Trying to unburden the mastodon.social servers, but it keeps claiming my account at mastodon.nl "is not an alias" of the mastodon.social one.

Is there supposed to be delay?

@sanjaysrivastava @jamiecummins Yeah, I have both, too. And favorites are shown to the authors but bookmarks aren't. But "favorites" are normally, well, bookmarks, no? So I figured the difference was just notification of the author.

But - I now found this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/13268

So we're not the only ones being confused πŸ™‚

Rename "Favorite" to "Like"? Β· Issue #13268 Β· mastodon/mastodon

Pitch Rename "Favorite" to "Like" Motivation Now that bookmarks are a thing, there might be some value in renaming the "Favorite" feature to "Like". I think it'd be more familiar to newcomers and "...

Welkom op het Mastodonaccount van Trouw! We moesten even opstarten maar vanaf nu zullen we regelmatiger hier ons gezicht laten zien en een selectie van stukken delen. Laat vooral weten waarover jullie het liefst lezen, dat kan nu het hier nog zo knus is.

@jamiecummins @sanjaysrivastava you _do_ get notifications about favoriting, no?

But that's kinda like bookmarking - Mastodon keeps track of what you favorite and you can easily find it back.

So I only use it for stuff I'll need to find later - not like liking. No offense, but I don't need that specific post in my list of favorite toots, kept for posterity, per se πŸ™‚

Interesting, I didn't know Codeberg - thanks for exposing me to it πŸ™‚

I use GitLab (instead of GitHub) because it's Open Source.

Is Codeberg Open Source, too, and if so, could you maybe say why it's better to use then GitLab?

@jamiecummins @sanjaysrivastava Posts like this make me feel kind of sorry that there's not just a 'like' button on Mastodon. Now it feels like I also have to add 'some content' to express something positive. So here you go: it _looks_ like it will taste incredible, indeed!!!!

And now it's a whole post anyway: which dish should I order that will have a sauce similar to this? "Ragu" just means sauce, no?

Maybe now is a good time to support this project (if you have the means to do so) to make sure it can handle the influx of all of those folks from Twitter: https://www.patreon.com/mastodon

Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.

So I wrote about that in my latest article: https://blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-visualizations/

What to consider when using text in data visualizations

How to make your data visualizations easier to read (and more interesting to look at!) with the right use of text.

@sanjaysrivastava I'd say psychologist. But if course, as a psychologist, I tend to think all behavioral science must be psychology - law of the instrument and all that 😬
