@mycroft@paws.town I mean there's one way to reserve your name for fedi, it's called the domain name system :D
re: splat 3
@codl did I offer to invite you to the splatodon discord server yet
@unascribed I was gonna say, stuff just moves over for me
@unascribed do you actually use your entire notification bar? I think a hole punch is the least awful way to implement it
@frostwolf alright, sorry I'm just now getting around to it
@frostwolf are you still running any fedi software that you want us to federate with?
oh come on, the Wear OS timers app can't run more than one timer?
@wolfteeth yeah I guess but Facebook sucks even more
@JennyFluff@queer.af sry, I didn't mean it that way
@mxdragon ouch, get well soon!
@JennyFluff@queer.af plus y'know, maybe one day I can actually use their data to make purchasing decisions
@JennyFluff@queer.af I mean it's really cool, everything I've seen from his new testing thing is basically just giving a bunch of nerds a blank check to build really cool stuff
@JennyFluff@queer.af linus techtips type behavior
@SleepyChi@meow.social (also unless you disclose the app that's made the posts, opt-in in account settings, no one can tell)
@SleepyChi@meow.social it's less the crossposting that's the problem but just setting it up and then never participating in the community here. I personally also don't like seeing retweets and quote tweets crossposted
should've probably posted this priv but idk
I value Twitter mostly for the people I met through there, but I've met many more great people through Mastodon. Sure, an instance may disappear at any time but like, make a linktree or a personal website, give your mutuals your discord or telegram, relying on a single website to keep in touch with people is on its way out
that said, "the fediverse is hard to use it as a marketing tool" isn't necessarily a bad thing. It sucks that i.e. artists can't find an audience as easily but also corporations or celebrities can't just go "we're here now, now you'll see our posts no matter what"
I've come to the realization that people like Twitter because it's kind of an internet phone book. Mastodon can't replace that for simple technical reasons and it hurts Mastodon to market itself as a Twitter replacement
@Claire they fit in branding but only because branding is a shitty name for general settings
