I guess there is a "but" -- I've already decided about the biggest one for me, which is Jasmine Crockett for US Senate. I'll happily vote for Talarico in November if he wins, but Crockett is the one I want.The winner will be running against Cornyn or Paxton, and I am unusually optimistic about their odds, this year. I think the Republicans are extremely overextended.

@evan EXACTLY what I imagined.
So, the answer would be visible to the intersect between them.
Of course, how that scales as *those* people reply... there lies the rub.

@mayintoronto @evan Friendica has a system that allows you to define lists comparable to reading lists for posts (or custom-add viewers to posts as you go) - that would resolve this whole situation, and allow people to have more contextual human-shaped discussions (like taking discussion in which you’re trying to find common ground with someone outside your political sphere to the kitchen at a party rather than having your most strident friends come to chew them out for not being already correct, or being able to plan the surprise party or tabletop twist without the whole world and the targets of said surprise hearing about it.) I really want it to get some renewed developmental interest for that reason - mastodon, akin to twitter before it, is sort of a public broadcasting system….

@paoloredaelli I have to say that at least they offer you the chance to buy the laptop without windows pre installed and they discount you the licence price if you select “without OS”. I am considering the lunar lake intel variant of the x9 because of the excellent battery life on Linux even if it’s not powerful as the amd AI platform. Probably un the next 3months I will decide. I still cannot find good battery benchmarks of Linux battery life with the amd ryzen AI platform.

@evan I think the default presumption that everyone is welcome to become part of any conversation is only that: an unconsidered default assumption inherited from Twitter and specifically from early Twitter's growth-at-any-cost corporate goals. At the very least we should be considering counterbalancing options.

@evan (though there are threat models to think about, like 'is one of alice's friends bob's stalker and they might see bob's reply and glean information from it?', which you just kind of have to bake in to the world-weary hellhole that is planet earth)

@stefan@gardenstate.social @stefan@stefanbohacek.online the empty API result is expected, per https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/10/mastodon-4-5-for-devs/

@evan yeah my experience in FB with friends-only posts is pretty great. my friends can post in my replies and see each other even if they're not friends themselves, and I believe I can nuke individual replies if I feel they're disruptive.
