Buffer, my favourite social media tool, added scheduled Mastodon Thread posting support.

Not sponsored in any way, just a user. It’s how I post to Mastodon, Facebook and Twitter at the same time.

For Bluesky I just have a script to auto-post as soon as I publish, as I don't really care too much about Bluesky yet.

I just got curious about Bluesky and made an account a couple days ago. I had a follow within minutes, and more replies in an hour than I’ve had my whole time on mastodon. Plus, with multiple feeds, I was able to easily follow good accounts quickly.

I love the grass roots feeling of Mastodon, but it’s often like screaming into the void. I posted a simple Linux question with the popular hashtags and got zero replies here. There, I got 5 replies.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Do you know if they support posting longer than 500 characters if the instance supports it?

Edit: Just checked, it is fixed at 500 chars. RIP.

In 2013, a senior university administrator where I worked “joked” that - to garner more attention to our research - my team should imprison me & the 1 other woman in a basement. This was the same week in 2013 that national news focused on the 3 female victims kidnapped, abused & imprisoned in an Ohio house for over a decade. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_…)

This person was a former political appointee now at the university. Everyone went silent, but no one responded.

my experience is men would rather the women minimise and pretend they're not upset than addressing the crappy male behaviour that makes working with them so exhausting and threatening

Detailed #alt4you - my character limit means I’m going to have to split this into two toots, sorry! Part 1 of 2:
I’ve learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this:
A wide bar is neatly segmented about 95% white and 5% dark red on the end, labeled “good men” on the left, “crazed evil men” on the right.
But it’s actually closer to this:

Tencent ported my python 3 code to python 2. And violated my copyright by replacing my copyright notice with their own and changing the licence from GPL to BSD.

I filed a DMCA takedown request with GitHub over a month ago. They said it would be processed soon but have not replied to my questions asking how much longer it will take since.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Steam still not specify that it has changed how it works, you can't invite friends/family members from other countries. Was it a problem? Perhaps but they solving it by making new version on steam families. Not happy about that especially as I have some family members that gone living/working abroad.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

"For those who haven't been in the Beta, it finally means your whole Steam Library doesn't get locked down when someone is playing a completely different game."
FINALLY!! I was waiting it for so long time! And my son too)))

When you search for “mastodon” in the iPhone App Store, the top result is an ad for Truth Social #enshittification
in reply to Micah Lee

It's a shame there is seemingly nothing you can do as the app owner to stop this. Maybe buying your own ad for your own keyword, but we don't have money to spend on that.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron yeah. Apple selling ads that appear first when people search for the name of your app is unethical, and also just makes the experience of iPhones worse
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
>> Maybe buying your own ad for your own keyword, but we don't have money to spend on that.

Based on Truth Social's financials and stock prices they might not have the money for that soon either. 🙂

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron maybe starting to giving massively bad reviews …
At least in my country mastodon is listed ok 😀
in reply to Eugen Rochko

you could view this incident as a PR opportunity, and write about it in the blogosphere, in terms of ethics, capitalism, post-twitterism, enshittification, and all what attracts Target Mastodon users. This would work as a positive story about Mastodon because the user bases are practically diametrically opposed.

I see you're posting from the mastodon.xyz server. Does this mean that your own "Nextcloud Social" app is still abandonware, due to unfixed regression bugs that broke your app interfaces? Long-term users don't appreciate apps turning into abandonware due to poor bug management and testing processes.
