@npub1grx…uxfe Not to the decentralized movement, in the Fediverse. Bluesky is becoming the leader in the decentralized movement, thanks to its size and its growth.

@npub1grx…uxfe I’ve already explained that twice, I won’t explain a third time

@npub1w9a…04m0 Yes, sure, chasing complete strangers on social media is a perfectly normal, acceptable behavior

I’m muting this
Not that I’m surprised, but too many of the conversations this thread generated were very unpleasant, in a typical Mastodon way
If the feature existed, I would also close replies
But Mastodon doesn’t have enough resources to implement it, which is a massive trust and safety issue in my opinion
Not Mastodon’s team fault, but the end result is the same
I’m going back to Bluesky
Peace ✌️

All of this should be a wake up call for #Mastodon as a community
I’m not super optimistic to be honest, which is why I’ve basically deserted the platform and I’m spending my time on #Bluesky these days
The silver lining of today’s events in Brazil is that even if Mastodon is left out of the equation, another open platform is benefiting from this mess
4/4

Hi @npub1rky…0xq2. Is there an option to prevent Mastodon links to automatically open in Ivory? I have the Safari extension *deactivated*. Thanks!

Is #Bluesky down? It seems to be for me.

@npub1xzm…eykm The profile on link preview feature is excellent. Will it work with bridged accounts too (ie Bluesky accounts that are federated with Bridgy, or a similar software)? Thanks!

@npub1jc6…7v67 Lists are already public on Bluesky (and anyone can subscribe to any lists).
You’re also right that Starter Packs are basically lists: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3kvujcwe5xr2c

Did you know that humans have never been richer and more numerous than at this very moment?
In my latest newsletter article, I take you on an exploration of some fascinating long-term economic and demographic data.

@npub1svs…p66u Thanks!
Any plan to support a more "traditional" thread composer window, à la Twitter?

@npub1svs…p66u Awesome! What does "automatic thread conversion" mean?

@npub1g8e…qdqf The way some extremists have apparently decided to ruin Mastodon for everyone else is becoming increasingly tiring
Thank you for putting some common sense into this

I've been using this feature for a couple of weeks now, on my French-speaking account (also hosted on mastodon.social)
In the upcoming Mastodon 4.2, you can assign an account to a list, and toggle said list so that the posts that appear on it don't show up in your Home feed
On top of full-text search, this is another great addition to Mastodon!
