god. Completed SMTV...
... now to edit the stream down for the LP finale...
@eevee motherf--
@eevee Should set your display name to ":eevee:", sure this won't mess up cross-instance things.
We do recall of a method to do this with pure HTML/CSS, for doing drop-down menus, but that barely got any use and JS became so ubiquitous that everyone did it the JS way anyway.
You know what, we really need a pure HTML/CSS spoiler/content-warn-collapse HTML tag. It's a pretty common function, though admittedly the layout and structure of such things varies from website to website.
... and the thing it solves: activating JS to open read-mores on toot direct links, is moot when the up-to-date instances require JS to load anything (grump) anyway~.
@eevee It seems dependant on the instance. Some people we can scroll back fine, some just, immediately give up and don't load anything.

re: birdsite, fascism
@eevee I wonder if willingness to share screenshot dunks around is dependant on how much a given leftist feels legitimately threatened (socially, physically, infosec...ly...?) by fascists. Pointing and laughing is easy when you think they're a "joke". Even when it gets framed as "activism".
... or it could be a coping mechanism.
@squishfox We'll be honest we don't really like Mastodon's culture of "all or nothing" around CWs. We've been cw'ing stuff like politics or talk about the fires on Twitter, but sometimes it's felt like everything potentially discordant or differing in worldview has to be cw'd, which feels stifling!
That said, kink art is a tricky, but different issue.
@eevee Weirdos club!
... wait that would be a valid domain, someone should make use of that.
@eevee We've never been satisfied with any app over using the website on our phone, perhaps because of the glitch.social fork having a slightly different layout that feels cleaner...
Double ugh: turns out my CSS userstyle solution for thumbnail heights breaks spoilered/CW'ing images - collapses their height entirely and makes it look like there's no image there at all.
ughhhhh trying to untangle this web app weird css is just not fun
someone else do it
Current solution works, but - with letterboxing on - it introduces a small space underneath any short images, and doesn't centre tall images.
With letterboxing off the small space vanishes, but instead seems to cut off rounded corners instead. May have other weirdness too, hrm.
.media-gallery{
height: unset !important;
min-height: 0px !important;
max-height: 309px !important;
}
I don't like that generally the newest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances, is maybe trying to more be inviting to Twitter users. It has trending now! Don't you want to engage with the popular stuff, like all the normies~?
... man I still wish shorter-than-wide images were collapsed vertically though. At least on awoo, any image I post always takes up a full 16:9 space.
Hmm, no, I don't think I like what appears to be inline metrics on the latest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances.
Making metrics less obvious was a good thing, actually.
re: A list of some Mastodon servers for alterhumans (otherkin, therians, plurals, furries, etc); cw: some have suggestive/adult content
@frameacloud That's a loooot of invite/approval-only. It's kind of foreboding! But we kinda understand why, too...
vr selfies, implied adult joke
Hmm, I wonder what this place is...
re: twitter bit
@Felthry Given its got no reception on Twitter (like everything else I post..........) clearly not many!!
