@Nurbs reverse engineer it!
I'm gonna need to look into a client for this eventually, but the web client is holding up surprisingly well even though I use an oddball browser (mobile Firefox) on an old phone.
@gc@cybre.space I always just leave that column blank. I know it's supposed to be community blah blah whatever, too much motion, distracting, low low low SNR

i saw a toot about it elsewhere but i can’t find it so: basically don’t trust mastodon for things you want to stay Actually Private. instance admins can read DMs, and instance admins can read the private posts of anyone their users follow. this is sort of inherent to the current architecture. and for all twitter’s sins, i trust the admins to not leak random people’s DMs more than i trust every instance admin ever.

@Kortney but I know voluntary donations don't look great to investors or stockholders, and even if you make a profit on them, you're not gonna build that into mega-money Fortune 500 Superbowl ad revenue levels of profit, which is apparently the only thing worth doing anymore, so good luck

@Kortney the sad thing is, I bet a lot (A LOT!) of people would be okay with voluntarily kicking in a buck or two to twitter, a lot like a Patreon thing. Given they have millions of users and only a ~$100k/yr loss, I think they could cover it. That's only 8k monthly $1 donations. Pretty sure they'd surpass it by a lot. And then they'd be accountable to users, too, not just advertisers.
@ArrBianca if there's one thing I really, really, unequivocally like about mastodon, it's this

@Nurbs is there any particular thing that sets it off more than others, or something that originally happened? Or is it just like, background radiation?
@Nurbs oh, well in that case BOOP!
@treehat okay, I'm definitely buying you baguette ingredients, I'm just saying.
AAHHH, I almost never check here, but I peeked in and two friends who I didn't even know talked to each other are being supportive about trans stuff and folks, that's good!

Oops, it's like 4:30am and I'm not sleeping, so I guess it's time to briefly remember that this site exists!
@MOOMANiBE Further evidence we actually live in a hell world.
Anyway, this will still be completely unusable for me as a platform until I can somehow sort people into columns (lists?)
I can't keep track of more than about 75-100 "main" follows at a time. I mean, follow them closely enough to be friends. I can add more, but I miss a lot of their stuff, and if it mixes in with my "friend" follows, they just get drowned out :(
It seems like I remember I have this about once every three months, log in, see a bunch of old statuses from, uh. The four people I know, and then forget about it.
Oh, I forgot this thing existed.
(I still probably won't check regularly though, just like having the point of contact if needed, I guess?)
