@ocean You will inevitably see only hashtagged toots that your instance is aware of. So there will likely be lots of toots on mastodon.social that never make it to your instance.

Yeah, I left a year ago and for a while auto-posted some of my blog posts there and then stopped doing even that. But definitely it's a platform I'm not returning to.
I'm honestly surprised by how little I've missed it. This space has given me so much more.
My biggest regret is posting so much original content there that I will have to to sift through and preserve in a better way. Not giving away content to any platform in that way again.
@sintrenton Definitely. I hope more people will come to realise this. For the sake of their own wellbeing.

Agreed. I put up my Twitter archive on my own domain though, so I can reference old content without risking the links disappearing.

I used the open source project Tweetback for this.

There is a logic to links in comments getting more engagement as you are forcing people to engage to receive the value of the link. Essentially you're holding the link hostage and forcing people to "pay" by tapping on your post.
I have a talk I do about this in which I ask a person in the audience if they want my book. And just as I'm about to hand it to them I instead throw it across the room and shout "It's in the comments!"

@weiming Iām not even sure it really exists! Hootsuite ran an experiment a few years back and this is what a lot of people seem to be basing everything on. The LinkedIn algorithm has changed multiple times since then and LinkedIn certainly do not discourage linking. They have help articles on placing links in posts.

Thanks. Yes, I have been working with digital accessibility for 20 years now. It's important to me to lead by example. And I'm happy the Fediverse supports these long image descriptions.

This is so good it actually is painful to read.
@shimriez Tack snƤlla! š

To be fair that is more of an intentionally provocative number, as OpenAI won't disclose energy use. There are estimates claiming that one ChatGPT query costs (in money) 100x more than a Google search, or consumes 10x as much energy. And one ChatGPT session, to get the response you want, can be estimated at 10 prompts.
But in the end there are many examples of things that can be done in more environmentally friendly ways. For example, writing a speech for a wedding. There's a lof of that going around now. Another way to write a speech for a wedding is pen and paper, and from the heart š

@Cleopatra
I understand what you mean, with a caveat: how would you use it without harming those who were already harmed during the development of the AI?
I agree that AI is not intrinsically bad (it *is* a tool), but the examples we are seeing today of how they are manufactured in dangerous ways and designed to mislead contributes to negative impact. This means that you can't dismiss harms by saying that it's *just* a tool.
@brooklynman From having to thinkā¦ š¬
@discoursology
Excellent. š
@weblearning
@brooklynman
Yeah I agree with your point. Iād say my main concern is that the statement itself removes accountability and consideration for the bigger picture effects. Saying something is just a tool creates the faulty mental model of all tools having interchangeable qualities frrom an ethical perspective, which simply isnāt true.
Which is just me repeating what you just said. š
The word to watch out for is ājustā. If we instead said āitās a toolā that would make more sense. The word ājustā is there to shed accountability.
@rm4
Thanks, yeah Soapbox is mentioned and linked in the blog post. There are quite a few that aren't in the infographic but are mentioned in the blog post. Fitting them all in the diagram would make it overly complicated I believe.
Not even the software I'm using myself (Akkoma) is in the diagram. I don't use Mastodon.
If a service becomes especially relevant to add to the infographic due to sudden growth or media coverage I'll consider adding it to the infographic. But I always welcome new ones that can be added to the associated blog post.
