Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.

Have you sat on a cow?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.

@Pepijn I've sat on horses, ponies and donkeys, but never a cow - I suspect this is partly because they are harder to train to accept riders, but also UK farmers didn't want 1970s/80s kids getting too attached to cattle for fear that more of them would become vegetarian/vegan..

So. Looking at the current poll numbers I'm starting to have a suspicion my hypothesis will be disproven.
There's two ways I thought this could be people's lived experience:
1) At primary school during an excursion to a petting zoo or dairy farm. And then just to sit (with or without saddle) for a bit on a friendly dairy cow.
2) Subset of people, growing up with access to dairy farms: kids bumbling around trying to actually ride the cow.
(I personally check both boxes)

@Pepijn never a cow. Horses a few times. I grew up in a rural area, cows literally at the end of my block. But, riding them wasn't a thing anyone ever thought to do, AFAIK.

@Pepijn I don't think I've ever sat on a cow or seen anybody sitting on a cow, even if I've spent a big part of my childhood summers at an alp (pasture)
this happened between Italy and the Italian speaking part of Switzerland
(I've sat on at least a donkey, and some horses)

Thanks for the comments! It's interesting to see people's experiences and how there seem to be regional and cultural differences in what people think of this.
Here's a video of a chicken cosplaying as a duck. Full disclosure: no cows were hurt in the making of this video. No-one sat on the chicken.

Honestly, I hadn’t thought about that. I was planning to wait and see how Mastodon handles it and adapt to their approach. The DM as accept idea is really interesting. It could work.
-
@mpb@typent.net what would a federated flow look like for non-Typent services? Perhaps a DM with the like being the "accept"?
-
The implementation of Typent starter packs, inspired by BlueSky, is now complete.
For TYPENT users, consent is required. When you add someone, they receive a notification asking them to accept or decline. They are only added once they accept.
For accounts on other Fediverse servers, they are added directly, since other platforms do not yet support a consent flow for this feature. Once they do, we will update this to require their approval as well.

@lindarosesmit as an admin, I notice them thanks to the reports

@stefano Strangely enough the only thing I notice about it, is in messages like these.

I social sono morti e siamo spiati costantemente.
Sabato parleremo di social network liberi e alternativi, federati, creati e gestiti dalla comunità, e vedremo anche QubeOS, un sistema operativo GNU/Linux per isolare ogni singola attività svolta sul proprio pc e in rete, per avere il massimo assoluto di sicurezza. Sabato sarà indimenticabile! 🥹
