The lack of functional discovery features on Mastodon is so nice. One of the worst experiences on Bluesky is making a post and then 18 hours later completely random people start Discovering it. And they're almost never happy to see it, nor do they remotely understand the intent or context. Make a post for your friends on Bluesky and wake up the next morning to a bunch of messages from mystery people along the lines of "why did you post this??". And I just want to know well why did you read it??

@mcc bluesky carries on the thing that twitter did, which is almost unique among social networks, of considering the whole social network to be one space with the same visibility and social norms. despite having a similar interface to twitter the fediverse is more like reddit this way

@mcc only being able to see things that are relatively close to you in the follow graph is an accident of the way activitypub works but I'd argue if it wasn't you'd want to design it in

@bob i think the most interesting question in distributed social network design is how to get the "instance" formalism but have it applied to self-identified affinity groups instead of physical servers (since physical server is so often picked by accident, and physical servers can, like mastodon.social, grow to unusable size)

@mcc what's interesting to me is that I see this happen here too (indirectly, from people complaining when it happens to them), so apparently even the reduced spreading here is not sufficient to completely avoid the issue, although at the very least it works as a decent “zero-order” filter (I've heard users here characterize events like what you mention as “the post has escaped containment” which is brilliant).

@oblomov you can create the same effect with boosts. the problem is that bluesky and that pre-musk twitter automate the process

@mcc (as a heavy booster, I feel a bit guilty when this happens to something I boosted, TBH; OTOH, why should *I* feel guilty for other people's behavior?)

@steko I agree, it's a great tool for general writing and Typst newcomers.

@troberts thanks for reminding me that I have to bring out the bins
right now. the evening before.
at the time when my desire would be to curl up on the bed, under the duvet, I will instead have to face the darkness, the cold¹, and the wild, hungry beasts² to bring out the bins
¹ 2°C, according to the sensor. not *that* cold, if I didn't just get outside without bothering to wear warmer clothing than the ones I'm wearing inside, because it's just a couple of minutes, and the thermal underwear will keep me warm long enough (cue hands and nose freezing :D )
² notOurCat often sleeps nearby at this hour, and will definitely wake up when the door opens :D

@max certo, non fraintendermi, la il mio era un invito alla riflessione, pur sapendo che la realtà è una cosa complessa.
Il fatto è che ci sono tantissime persone che ritengono Telegram qualcosa di bello, di "pulito". Fortuna che c'è Durov a ricordarci ogni tanto chi c'è dietro!
