I'm very sorry to Eugen and all the development team at Mastodon who have certainly put in a lot of time and energy.
But stuff like this.... it just breaks me.
I can't use Mastodon, as a product, or as a social network, if I'm now aware that there's an entire invisible ecosystem of jury-rigged usage protocols that have somehow become "unofficial official etiquette" but are actually really difficult for humans to do.
It's weird that THIS is what's pushing me off this whole network! But it is.
Hi to all my new followers, I'm very sorry but I'm still having an existential crisis here about the supposed existence of "The Mastodon Way of Threading Posts" in which one is supposedly supposed to manually change the Privacy Status on every post (Listed, then Unlisted) to avoid "Spamming Timelines (tm)".
This might seem like a little thing.
But it's one in a number of weird UX hassles and/or weird street-level workaround protocols that, for me, just has finally hit my personal limit.
Ok everyone I have set my feed to Unlisted since that appears to be the only thing close to a Don't Automatically Make Lots Of Strangers Angry Button that the Mastodon Web UX has.
No posts I write from now on will appear on any Local Timeline or be searchable. At all. If you have a problem with that, I'm sorry, take that up with the Mastodon developers.
I hope that's acceptable to strangers I've never met and who I will never communicate with again, who otherwise would apparently be seething.
So the day after a BLOOOOD MOOOOON I wake up to find that Bitcoin, the Republicans and the Russians are all having quite a bad day at once.
That feels nice!
The true meaning of Fediverse is that it's run by Supreme Commander Servalan.
That could be true! You don't know that it isn't!
("Server" and "LAN" in her name is a pretty big clue tbh)
Supreme Commander Servalan was a powerful figure in the Terran Federation, in many ways more powerful than the President of the Federation. Carnell described her as "the sexiest officer I have ever known", a rare compliment. Kasabi described her as "a credit to your background - spoilt, idle, vicious", and added "greedy", "sick" and "degenerate" before she died. She had also, when a Federation political officer, listed Servalan as "unfit for command". Sula called her "a tasteless megalomaniac" a
It's probably a little too early to post this, but here's what I'm currently working on in my Gitlab.
A weird little line-based syntax, somewhat influenced by Gemini, for structuring personal semantic data.
It's *very* simple (much simpler now, in its second incarnation) and I'm mostly dogfooding it to see if it is actually useful.
(Yes, the name is a reference to the fictional protagonist of my "Novas" project, which is also the test database.)
