@tomgrochowiak This fella is great too! But yeah, finding a position to hold things without having to grow additional arms can be tricky...

@tomgrochowiak I found out that soldering with an iron (Pinecil) that heats up quickly and shows its temperature as it cools down massively reduced my anxiety and improved success rate!

Well, this solves the mystery of several unsolicited "hi" messages I've been receiving from @movim's XMPP server lately (that I've been simply ignoring so far). Have a wonderful day folks!

@timmy @mattblaze Not everything is a product that aims to appeal for widest possible user base. Projects are often constrained by their other goals, their state or even available workforce, and that's fine. Listening to user complains is often helpful under right circumstances, but may not necessarily be. Sometimes it's just distracting noise.

@timmy @mattblaze The word "product" may be the key to understanding the source of confusion.

@mantis I see my timeline as a tool for me and none else. I may follow someone because I like them, or because I want to keep up with what they post for whatever reason. Cpt. Hammer followed Dr. Horrible's blog to see what evil he's up to ;) I'm pretty sure I follow bunch of people across platforms because of misclicks too.

But yeah, algorithmic boosts of visibility based on engagement don't help. I love that Mastodon doesn't have that and its UI intentionally doesn't focus on numbers either.

That said, I think that given good curation tools, an optional timeline consisting not of your follows', but your followers' posts could nicely augment already existing local and federated timelines. I've got more than twice as many followers than follows here on the fediverse and I'm sure there are some people I'd like to follow in there - it just isn't easy to browse through 100s of accounts 😞

@SanderVanhove Lerp is lerp, adding a non-linear easing makes it not a lerp by definition ;) Somehow the name stuck and gets used for any kind of interpolation, I'm just being (playfully) pedantic there 😄

I'm usually a bit confused when people say that following someone on social media means endorsing them in some way, or worse, when they act upon discovering that someone follows someone. Case in point: I accidentally imported Fedifinder's list of not just my birdsite's follows, but also my followers - and my timeline sure needs some curation now 😫

It did made me follow some great accounts I probably wouldn't find otherwise, so it's not all bad!

@SanderVanhove Neither of them look like a lerp though :)

@riskybusiness It's worth remembering, however, that it's not actually a shelter, but an already existing small town with its own community, customs and traditions, that suddenly plenty of people from a destroyed big city fled to.

#WebFinger is neat! From now on @dos@dosowisko.net points to this #Mastodon account, without having to run and move to my own instance :)

Wanna set it up too? All you have to do is to download https://{YOUR_INSTANCE}/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:{YOUR_FULL_HANDLE} and make it available at https://{YOUR_DOMAIN}/.well-known/webfinger
