@zachleat

I'm not a dev but I managed to figure it out :)

My archive is now up at:
https://twitter.axbom.com

Have no idea what I'm supposed to do with regards to the canonical urls though?

The Knight Foundation's online event on Democracy in the Digital World is ongoing.

Looks like you can still register.

Coming up is Frances Haugen and Jeff Horwitz in conversation on tech whistleblowing, journalism and public interest.

Later on Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former Head of Trust and Safety, gives his first in-depth interview since resigning from the company.

If you're curious, the agenda and registration form is here:

⚠️ Mastodon meta (verifying websites)

@Janne

Hmm. Interesting. They don’t look verified to me either but I guess it could be a cache issue along the way. Something to sleep on 😊

I checked in Brave and Firefox Focus on iPad.

⚠️ Mastodon meta (verifying websites)

@Janne I believe the most common mistake I see people do is to just wait for the link to be verified.

The verification is only checked when you enter the web address into your profile and press the save button.

So if you have already entered the web address before you add it to the page, you need to re-enter the data in your profile and save again for the check to kick in.

@taylorlorenz Lovely, they have their own definition of everyone.

A quick guide to Post's taxonomy of humans.
Otherwise summarised in the mantra of "but first, let's get everyone in".

Diagram with three circles. The bigger circle is labeled "Everyone."

This circle is separated wit a line from two other, smaller circles. The two smaller circles intersect and are respectively labeled "People with accessibility needs" and "People with safety concerns".

A cutout from the source article quoting a spokesperson for Post is included. It reads: "Focus is what you are not doing - this means that
we are not focused on things like dark mode, iOS/Android apps, DM's, private accounts, power user tools (managing large follower base), activity pub, accessibility, video (you can embed 3rd party players like Youtube for now) etc. We want to do it all but first, let's get everyone in."

In the same manner as it is often exclaimed that "This meeting could have been an email", I often frustratingly declare: "This app could have been a web page."

@dinkompismia

Häftigt. Jag gör inte det så tydligt (tror jag) men förstår hur det kan göra gott. Ska prova!

Tänker att när jag skriver fiktion så är utforskandet av alla möjliga vägval en stor del av lockelsen.

@LeoR1010 Det blir nästan inception-känsla för mig i den scenen på något konstigt sätt. Jag blir gråtmild av att Sharon Tate överlever i Tarantinos tidslinje. Att våldet drabbar de egentliga förövarna känns som själva sinnebilden av poetisk rättvisa. Men ändå bara fiktion som på något sätt helar.

@ruchowdh

That website is running a service that reposts twitter accounts into ActivityPub format that can be read by Mastodon... So it's not a regular Mastodon instance.

It doesn't list a responsible entity...

My interpretation is that it reposts stuff automatically, each account isn't controlled by an individual.

https://beta.mstdn.cf/

Right now it became overloaded so accounts aren't reachable.

I gather people built things like this for following people on Twitter…

@ruchowdh This is the software it is running. Could be that it's the creator of the software who is running that site.

@chiasm My intent is to block indexing, but generally that's not something I trust completely.

I was recently sent this article which you may find interesting. I've interviewed Heather in the past and she is very knowledgeable.

@davidlohner Thank you, I was hoping the comedy would shine through to some people. 😊

This is as funny as I get...

@JBF

I don't use any of the apps, but I would imagine there is a globe icon to select for the federated timeline, as that is what it most commonly is marked with.

⚠️ Flowchart: Visibility of a tweet

Enough people used my flowchart on the visibility of a toot as a an example of “how complex Mastodon is”, that I just had to make one on the visibility of a tweet.

The visibility of a tweet is always unpredictable. A post on Mastodon appears chronologically in a transparent and predictable way.

Just sayin' 😜

#FediTips

The visibility of a tweet. In what timeline will a tweet appear?

version 1 updated November 24.

The flowchart starts with "Public tweet by @ElonJet". The logic then is as follows:

If you are following @ElonJet: maybe you’ll see it in your timeline, nobody knows for sure

If someone you follow follows @ElonJet: maybe you’ll see it in your timeline, nobody knows for sure

If @ElonJet paid for someone who fits your profile to see their tweet: you'll see it in your timeline (maybe)

If someone you follow retweeted, quote-tweeted or liked the tweet: maybe you’ll see it in your timeline, nobody knows for sure

If you got sent a link to the tweet: If you aren't logged in you may see it for 30 seconds.

If @ElonJet is verified: Laughing face with tears of joy.

If you haven't seen the first flowchart I made on the visibility of a toot, you'll find it in this blog post:
