Yeah, looks like the default “word_wordnumbers” usernames that reddit gives you if don’t change them.

I wonder if that would be an easy way to detect botting by not filling in that field for them.

I actually named my Mastodon account that.

I like that my profile (on mobile at least) looks like he’s Riker maneuvering a Riker maneuver:

Yes, I believe so. I’ve only seen the TNG movies once, so my memory is a little fuzzy.

Thanks! Just trying to do my part to help the fediverse take off.

That’s awesome. I think there are so many out there who would be receptive to decentralized social media if they heard about it.

Wait, am I in the matrix?

Ok, maybe it’s optimistic to expect that we’ll definitely get there one day, but I hope that we do.

We’re all living in the times before consciousness can be preserved, but someone will figure out how to do it eventually.

I don’t think it’s going to be Elon Musk.

I actually have a machine set aside for it, but I just haven’t taken the plunge yet.

Yeah, I’ll just get Linux.

Surely it would be less redundant to just say ‘hackers’

Isn’t this copying Twitter again?

This is a good way to kill any sense of genuine community on your app.

These types of articles bother me. Almost every game, movie, and product has an initial unsustainable level of hype, then comes back down from it.

But these articles inevitably try to frame it as if it’s an indication that something’s failing.

Fair enough.

I guess I just think of the community as the “tag” for posts on this style of site, which is a setup that I personally prefer over sites like mastodon/twitter that rely on less consistent individual post tags.

I think it makes more sense to tag communities for this style of site rather than having users attach them to every single post.

That way, we would even have a simple method to “link” related communities, which I bet has been the #1 feedback request.

Yeah, most of the youtube I watch is cast to the chromecast of whatever room I’m in. I can’t add shorts to the queue, so I just skip them.

You also can’t adjust the volume in browser. You have to go to a normal video, change it, and then go back.
