A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:
Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?
The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.
But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:
Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.
Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

@Em0nM4stodon - maybe a tidbit to add to your welcome to Mastodon posts

@JessTheUnstill why the heck is it like that? AP limitation?

@JessTheUnstill I don't necessarily even blame the folks doing it, because so many are hurting... It's hard to exercise meaningful empathy when you're scared just for yourself.
But yeah, we'll never prefigure a real mutual aid economy if all it means is "I need help from you."
Good point.

There's no mute conversation button on someone else's post
Hit reply on the post - note by default it says public and includes the person's username
Change the post visibility to private
Make a junk post

@hwll This isn't even specifically about mutual aid folks. It can be anyone for any reason. People shitposting about something you don't care about. People with a really popular political post that keeps getting boosted into your timeline but you don't want to see it. A meme you just hate for whatever reason. It doesn't matter. Your timeline is your own.

@CarbonCarrot It's more likely a Mastodon limitation. My HYPOTHESIS is that each conversation has a ID on it, which is how it decides on conversation threading and such. Your instance won't allow you to make any changes on other people's posts - for obvious reasons. The mute conversation feature may be working by setting a metadata tag on one of your posts where it suppresses anything with that particular conversation ID on it from appearing on your timeline. But it's still a crappy UI/UX for what should be basic functionality.

@JessTheUnstill *Thank you*! I've wanted this capability for a long time.

Now it allows you to mute conversation
jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange the inability to mute someone else's conversation seems to arbitrary. Maybe there's a technical reason behind it but there needn't be...

@JessTheUnstill I do something similar to this, instead I add a poll to remind me of the post in X days. I wonder if it work with a mute? 🤔

Is there some reason these steps cannot be automated, and exposed as a single control in the UI?

webhat@infosec.exchange oh my god, using a poll as a hack for snoozing is genius

@julian thank you, I don't think I came up with it originally

@julian @JessTheUnstill Muting/following conversation and sub-conversation (threads) is one of the things I miss from usenet.

@8r3n7 a 3rd party client could probably automate some sort of hidden meta-post, but no idea how fragile that might end up being. And yeah, Mastodon devs could build something to fix it, but I don't think it's on their roadmap anytime soon.

@julian @JessTheUnstill After a brief dive into the mastodon API documentation, it seems to be a protocol limitation indeed. You (or rather your client program) do not get to see the conversation ID until you join that conversation, so until then, you do not have the correct piece of information to request muting of that conversation.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/conversations/#getticho@mas.to hey, I sort of disagree. While the protocol itself doesn't contain topic level information, it can be inferred from context.
This is how NodeBB achieves it. It also sends contextual information so it's explicitly available as well.

@ciccillo @GustavinoBevilacqua @elvecio ok forse si riesce a risolvere.
puoi provare a lanciare questi comandi?
sudo apt update
e poi
sudo apt list --all-versions cups
e mi mandi l'output dell'ultimo comando

@lichingyun sono nel pieno trip delle serie cinesi, romantico-storiche, su YouTube.
Mi piacerebbe tanto imparare la lingua.

@muffa @GustavinoBevilacqua @elvecio
ah beh allora mi metto tranquillo, comunque PD o DC perché avevo bisogno di stampare uno spartito che sto scrivendo per poi correggerlo suonandolo al pianoforte, vabbé farò alla vecchia maniera, con le orecchie il software di scrittura e la sua riproduzione e la fantasia...

@lichingyun sì l'idea è la seconda metà di Aprile. Perché in estate mi hanno detto in tanti che il clima è devastante

Presto la pubblicitĂ su ChatGPT! SarĂ ultra mirata e fine delle testate online
Finora ChatGPT è stato privo di pubblicità : niente banner, niente promozioni nascoste. Anche le versioni a pagamento funzionavano senza offerte insistenti. Ma le cose potrebbero cambiare presto.
Come segnalato dall’utente X (ex Twitter ) con lo pseudonimo Tibor , nella versione beta dell’app Android ChatGPT (1.2025.329) sono comparsi riferimenti a una nuova funzionalità pubblicitaria. Il codice conteneva frasi come “funzione pubblicitaria”, “contenuto bazaar”, nonché “annuncio di ricerca” e “carousel di annunci di ricerca”.
Per ora, sembra che gli annunci pubblicitari appariranno solo nelle ricerche integrate, ad esempio quando l’intelligenza artificiale accede a Internet per rispondere a una query. Ma col tempo, le possibilità potrebbero espandersi ulteriormente.
Ciò che è particolarmente interessante è che la pubblicità potenziale in ChatGPT può essere altamente personalizzata. L’intelligenza artificiale conosce molti dettagli dell’utente, a meno che, ovviamente, le impostazioni pertinenti non siano disattivate.
Ciò significa che il targeting sarà personalizzato non semplicemente in base agli interessi generali, come sui social media, ma specificamente in base al comportamento e alle esigenze di una persona specifica.
OpenAI non ha ancora annunciato ufficialmente il lancio della pubblicità , né ha specificato quando o come potrebbe apparire.
Ma il fatto stesso che tali elementi siano già presenti nel codice indica che il vettore di monetizzazione sta cambiando. Se ChatGPT iniziasse a guadagnare dalla pubblicità , ciò potrebbe avere un impatto non solo sul prodotto stesso, ma anche sul modo in cui interagiremo con i chatbot in futuro e su quanto potremo fidarci di loro (questa rimane una questione aperta).
