Testing after domain migeation

Lookin great so far.

Might I suggest a pop-up when someone is about to leave a draft... I often start to say something then think better of it and leave the reply. On Fedilab, I get a pop-up and can immediately delete it, with Holos I have to go search for the draft to delete it.

@moshimotsu@floss.social
You are hitting on a core truth about FOSS. Open source development is about scratching "your own" itches. Scratch the itches that you are passionate about as you are generally never going to be passionate about someone else's itches unless you have the same itch. While some have stuck with their projects, far more have created projects and let them die, but because it is open source, yet others are free to scratch their itches and carry on the work.

EDIT: Somehow missed while words. :(

We both know that nothing I say is important. ;)

But, as I said, that would lead to a popularity contest. I am not against that, if that is how you want to prioritize, but you need to be aware that popularity contests often means that you miss out on real content. Over time your priority list will filter out all but the echo chamber people.

@saarmuller@mastodon.social
I have wondered about that as well. Personally I like to get notified when someone replies to me, but...

This is Mastodon, you can filter on types of notifications as well... For example filter notifications when someone starts following you, or filter when someone favorites your comments, etc

@UrbanEdm@mstdn.ca
Yeah, threading could work, and it wouldn't require AI to do it. But it doesn't really close the signal to noise ratio. You still have the same number of total notifications, they are just easier to track and respond to.

The Chump regime in the US has been considering doing that as well, not only at immigration, but they have talked about state borders as well.

The US is not really a good place to come to / go to right now. And I think it is goin to get worse before the World Cup this summer.

@randahl@mastodon.social
While that would be great, I am not really sure how it would work.

Recency, which is the current default, makes it so you have to check in early and often.

Content, though not sure how they could do it, might work but it would prolly require constant tuning and tweaking.

Character, meaning who posts, becomes a "popularity" contest...
...

Nope, I can't really see a good way to do it.

@cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza
No, that is obviously not it's purpose, but...

This is Mastodon, *YOU* control what content you see. If you don't want politics, then filter it out or stop following people who post politics.

Now, I will admit that I am always appreciative of people using CW, but it is still up to me to decide what content I see,. CWs don't change that, only add extra work to see the content

And now wonderful folx over at @HolosSocial@mastodon.social and @apps@toot.fedilab.app are working to make it so that migration is no longer necessary as well.

@benroyce@mastodon.social
I wouldn't say immunity to the edgelords, but that it comes with built-in tools to get around them and their agendas.

I have mentioned this before, but ACM was not my first server, in fact they didn't have a server when I joined Mastodon.

Some of the servers had issues but it was trivial to migrate off of them to more comfortable servers..

To help us Europeans in 1945, thousands of Americans had to fight their way from the bloody beaches of Normandy all the way to Berlin, under fire, in ice cold trenches, watching their friends die left and right.

But to help the Americans in 2026, we Europeans need to sit in our heated livingrooms and hit "end subscription" on streaming services that finance the American oligarchy — and of course no one wants to live through the horror, so fascism it is.

And this is why I have been advocating for raked-choice-voting. You still have the Shumers and Tillis on the ballot, but you rank them down near the bottom.

But again, you have to vote for it to work.

You are right, I would say no... I merely posted that to add context to the discussion about hydro-electric dam and EV emissions discussions.

@dnkboston@apobangpo.space @GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai

@benroyce@mastodon.social
We don't know the average life expectancy of EV batteries yet, but if they are sub-10 years, then the EV will never reach the green payoff.

Now comes the real meat of this discussion energy production emissions. Yes hydro-electric dams produce more harmful emissions than we previously thought, but that is for the first 20ish years as the vegetation in the resivoir degrades

@benroyce@mastodon.social
Once you reach the green payoff point the EV becomes a much better and much more sustainable solution.

Additionally, based on average vehicle usage models, the ICEV's harmful emissions actually start to increase, over and above their initial 10 years, due to poor vehicle maintenance.

You are touching on an area where people start to have aneurisms...

EVs produce more harmful emissions to manufacture than ICEV (internal combustion engine vehicle) but produce less in actual operation.

It was a few years ago, but I read an article that stated the "green" payoff where the EV and the ICEV reach total emission parity is roughly 10 years (based on average driving models).

That is a common fallacy about Teslas. You can always open Teslas from the inside, even if the low voltage system is down. It is a bit different from the outside which requires the doors to be unlocked, but you can always open it from the inside.

And before anyone asks, I know this because until July, I owned two different Teslas and the very first thing I did when I got both of them was to read the instructions manuals.
