I do not want Slack to provide a probabilistic summary of what I said. I don't want notion to guess what I'm going to say. I want to choose my words with clarity and precision in mind, and if people want me to take the time to read what they've written I would hope that they've taken the time to choose their words too

And I really want to take my words out of training data sets

You don't need separate accounts to interact with different kinds of Fediverse servers.

For example, if you have a Mastodon account you can follow PeerTube accounts such as @theatticdwellers or @alliterative and their videos will appear in your Mastodon timeline as if they were Mastodon posts.

If you reply to a PeerTube video within Mastodon, the reply will also appear as a comment below that video on PeerTube. (And comments made on PeerTube will appear as replies on Mastodon.)

Our in-development COSMIC DE is looking beautiful.

@caseynewton Dang... we don't need Meta competing with the Fediverse. I say *competing*, because it is probably going to be a closed network, if not immediately, then eventually.

The people who have been developing OVOS are attempting to establish a nonprofit organization to continue development of their open source voice assistant. OVOS is derived from Mycroft, but with Mycroft AI's recent difficulties has become more of a fork. Other projects such as Neon use OVOS as a base. If you've got a couple spare pennies to rub together they could really use the help in keeping open source voice assistants around.

Do you want to display a Mastodon account's public posts filtered by hashtag?

There's a way to do it using their profile page's web address:

1. Go to the account's original page on the web (more info: https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon/)
2. Copy the original page's web address
3. Add /tagged/(hashtag, but without the #) on the end of that address

So, for example, if you wanted to see posts on my account tagged with #Pixelfed the address would be:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/pixelfed

If you log in through your server's website, then go to your own profile page and click on the ︙ icon, you can see interesting information about your account including:

-Blocked users
-Muted users
-Blocked domains
-Followed hashtags
-Follow requests

etc.

To add to this, the worst misconceptions that have led to misinformation and political strife are:

1. There are only two sides. My side and the bad one.

No, there are not. It’s not a sports game.

2. Anything said about the other side is true and doesn’t need fact checking.

No, it especially does. People have a blind spot for stories that match their worldview or that they want to be true.

3. Someone I agree with must be a good person (and vice versa)

Nope. Definitely not.

Hey guys, quick PSA for you:

Never just post a ‘shocking’ story on social media without fact checking it first. Even if it’s about those on the other side of the political spectrum.

No wait, ESPECIALLY if it’s about those on the other side of the political spectrum.

Because misinformation and hearsay are everywhere, and it will spread if not questioned.
