@LeoR1010@mastodon.social Alltid i mitt huvud en vardagshelg nu: tillät sig Leo en helgfrukost? 😅
@Silhelm Ha, I just came in from 2 hours of mowing the lawn. No complaints :)
Exactly this. Good one.
This was the controversy. And yes, it was painful to read about as it was going down:

That said... is Hey worth it? I need to make a move regarding my email hosting pretty soon.
@pete Thank you for reading and for the feedback. 😊
@alternative_be Thank you! 🙏
@chris Haha, thanks. That was fast. I copied the specs from Swedish and missed this one.
@chris Here’s the story so far :)
A new post up on the blog about #indieweb and self-hosting my own space.
I’m trying to share my own journey with independent publishing and in the end want to help and encourage others who are curious about self-hosting.
@KeruWolframio Yes, it's on the website, as long as the instance you are on is running version 3.5.3 or later. I forgot that different instances don't all update as fast as mine. 😅
@chris Will do :)
In my #indieweb adventures I have now also moved my newsletter to my own server. Decided on a Ghost implementation for this in the end, so anyone can use RSS to subscribe instead of email if they like.
This means my two blogs, the newsletter and the @wildexploits cartoon are all now on Ghost instances on my VPS. Also running my own Mastodon and Pixelfed instances. And Hedgedoc, a collaborative markdown editor I really like.
All this has happened very fast 😅
@ainali That is likely the case. I am running version 3.5.3.
I highly recommend setting the language of your posts, as this helps people using screen readers. The content is automatically read with the correct voice and pronunciation. This feature of setting the language of your post isn't implemented in all apps yet, but works well in the web interface.
If you only post in one language you can set a default (but do remember to set that default if it's not English).
Also, it helps people filter posts from specific languages.

If you aren't seeing this setting, it could also be the case that your Mastodon instance hasn't updated yet. Talk to your admin :)
@ainali It was added in a recent release of Mastodon. It hasn't made its way to all the apps yet, but if you use the web interface you can set the language of any post, including replies.

@opassande Du vet min teori. Inte så många som man tror som är så dumma i huvudet. Men några är det och blir belönade av algoritmen med extraordinär synlighet. Fler vill också bli belönade av algoritmen som då gör sitt för att radikalisera människor. Motståndare försöker protestera men effekten blir ofta ytterligare belöning ur förövarnas perspektiv. Validering. Bli sedd.
Önskar ibland att jag pluggade fortfarande, då hade jag velat forska vidare och skriva uppsats om det här.
@opassande I grund och botten och bidragande är förstås oförmågan att förstå hur mycket skada man kan åsamka en annan människa med sitt digitala beteende. Att se orsak-verkan är svårare där tycker jag, men det hjälper ju knappast att avstånd mellan sändare och mottagare är så stort.
I will sometimes post in Swedish. When I do, I mark my posts as Swedish language.
If you only want to see certain languages in your timeline, remember that you can filter languages in the Mastodon preferences (using the web interface).
You’ll find this language filter under Preferences > Other.
Personally I like seeing different languages even when I don’t understand. Maybe a translation feature will be added in the future.


@abbe98 Very good point. Thanks.
