This is absolutely insane considering it's the most successful game launch in a LONG time.😳

Is the game industry really this broken?!?😑

The thing that people see an issue with, is the fact that a lot of people use it to "harass" others in front of their followers as if to say "laugh at this fool". However, if this is truly the "open" web, that's just gonna be a thing.

I hope they eventually make it an official feature as well, but for now, most third party apps have it built-in.

To people complaining about the Nostr bridge today, (the one that's been here for years now) you DO know that there's no way to tell what anyone is doing with your public posts, right?

There's even a RSS feed that cannot be turned off for EVERY Mastodon account that anyone can read and you'd never even know...

If you want privacy, post privately. If you're posting publicly, you have no expectation of privacy.

Fedi Dev Tip:

Fedi Dev Tip:

Develop features that you say you would for some time instead of implementing crap nobody wants or asked for.

Any Fedi Dev that implements privacy ruining age verification crap will not succeed. I promise.

Do better.

Looking at you, Sharkey...😒

By the way, where's that "Mastodon API" feature that you've advertised for the past year?🤨

After a year and a half of being on Fedi, I'm still seeing people on an open communication platform recommending others block open communication across platforms (bridges).

If you post an image I like and don't use alt text even after I've asked, you are giving me permission to download and re-upload the image with alt text.

Just saying.

Use alt text so I can boost your post or I will.

Sooo....holy shit.

Sooo....holy shit.

When you're playing games with your friends and having fun, it takes you out of reality for a bit and lets you forget about real life for awhile.

However, sometimes things happen that take you back to reality and show you that life is still very real.

Last week, my 2b2t group co-leader went AWOL and we had no idea what happened.

It turns out he was in the hospital and then we didn't know why until yesterday. He showed back up and revealed he had been in a horrific car accident which threw him and a friend from the vehicle, suffering multiple injuries. Unfortunately another friend of his that was also in the car didn't make it.😔

We're so thankful he pulled through and was able to talk to us yesterday. I feel so horrible for his friend though.😭

This is pretty much me with Fedi. Can't hold hobbies to save my life. Pretty sure I've dropped one tonight. 🤷‍♂️

I've been here for almost a year and half now. There's been ups and downs but I've always been here and will continue to be here until this place isn't.🫶

Seems like the new Mastodon version is a must skip for those of us who like actual information about notifications...😒

Soo that's what I'll be doing. Skipping it.

Still looking for an alternative that doesn't require Linus Torvalds to personally come to your house and install it himself, but that's currently not a thing. Need Linus Torvalds or the equivalent for pretty much everything.😩

I've been using Saturn for iOS for a bit now and ever since the most recent updates, it seems very enjoyable.

I've been using Saturn for iOS for a bit now and ever since the most recent updates, it seems very enjoyable.

It has most of the same features as other third party Mastodon apps, but with its own look and feel.

I think the only thing that could make it better for me, would be if it had a "Hashtag Drawer" type feature for the composer so that I could save individual hashtags with CamelCase for re-use.

It's something I've been wanting in a Fediverse app for SO long.

But if you want a new app to mess around with, Saturn is very good from what I've seen with it.👍

Ugh. Threads keeps adding Fediverse features that are only benefitting themselves.

Ugh. Threads keeps adding Fediverse features that are only benefitting themselves.

They can now see our usernames if we follow them and if we like their posts.

Still can't mention us or follow us back...which is the main part that's keeping their integration from being functional.🤦‍♂️😩

I just want open communication across platforms dammit. It's not that hard. It doesn't take a whole year. One man did it for a platform that he doesn't even work for, in just a few months!

About to give Saturn another go for a few days hopefully.

The dev has removed the post limit for free users, which is definitely good.

Paying to post on Fediverse where everywhere else is free, is wild.

They also said they fixed the crash bug with notifications. Those two things immediately killed my motivation with wanting to use the app so hopefully it's better this time.🤞

There's something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile.

Quote posts, limiting of quote posts, and how those features might be added to core AP.

As it is now, the way Threads does quote posting is when a person adds a link to another Threads post, it automatically turns into a "quote post".

They also have the option to limit posts from being quoted, which in turn completely stops anyone on Threads linking to that post.

To me, that is wild, but I can see it making sense on a closed platform.

However, given the way Fediverse works and a ton of people have their own instance/website, I think it would be absolutely asinine to attempt to stop someone from simply posting a link to another post.

Links have been part of the internet for awhile now and there's no other platform that stops people from using links, AFAIK.

So, to those working on AP, please consider another route for quote posts because if I cannot link to something on my own website, I'll be pretty livid honestly.

Well...after a few posts using Saturn, it prompted me to pay...

Guess my trial period is over in less than 2 hours.

Not much to say tbh, since I didn't get a fair amount of time with it.

Notifications crash the app, that's about all I can say....😬

@[email protected], I would definitely remove the limit on posting. I'm a poster, if I can't post without paying, I'll use something else.

Also, the app crashed several times in the short time I've had with it. The most consistent being when I tried to open my notifications, it crashed every time.

Overall, I can't say much more because I was very limited by the paywall.🤷‍♂️
