So much drama in the SPC
It's kinda hard being T-O-double-D
But, he, somehow, someway, keeps on comin' up with Librem hardware every single day

He's got coders in the chat room buildin' a phone
They ain't leavin' till 6 in the morn (PST)
Now we gonna pick a license for this. GNU's up, closed's down while you other developers code to this.

Rollin' down the street, writin' free code, licensed for GNU, laid back, with my mind on the Librem and the Librem on my mind.

To me, looking at timelines is equivalent to visiting a local pub to meet new people. You might stumble upon people you don't like, but that's the only way you get to know new people and experience new worlds.

@jameshjacksonjr Personally, I'd consider current Mastodon timelines (both in the "Web" app and in Tusky etc.) already "opt-in": You have to explicitly click to see the local or federated timelines. By default, you only see your "Home" column (only post from those you explicitly follow), exactly how it should be and what @todd is saying.

@jameshjacksonjr
Hmmmm... Thanks for pointing this out. I find everything in the post absolutely alright, except that I'm not sure removing timelines is a good idea (though I can relate to the motivation behind this decision).

"Most people want to opt-in to what they want to follow, be that a news feed, a celebrity, a friend, or family. Most people do not want to be force-fed a constant stream of manipulated content to catch and keep their attention." #LibremOne

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea behind LibremOne from @purism. We, the decentralized internet advocates, are quite far with the tech. What we desperately need is a touch of marketing, bundling, and consumer-friendliness. #LibremOne is doing exactly that. Bravo, and I hope them the very best of success.

I jumped on the Smartphone train in 2008 with a BlackBerry Bold 9000, because IM+ messenger with native XMPP support was available for it. This has been the last time I was using a desktop messenger like Pidgin. 😊 When did you buy your first smartphone and what model was it?
