@npub19zs…wz0p Those are pretty basic interactions and not analytics in my world.

2024-09-01 21:34:54

I love not having analytics here. I mean no idea who will see this post, who has boosted the already boosted post and how far it will reach. It's like a digital message in a bottle, once it's sent, it will be received by people, some pass it on, or not... This is how the Internet should be.
In other places I sometimes get a notification like "your reply got 1000 views, congrats!" and I don't know what I'm supposed to think about that any more.

@npub19g4…8453 I hate markdown and handling files when I just want to type my notes so that approach would not work for me. It needs to be completely friction-less. I also doubt that would work on iPhone.

I've been running long runs (20-30km) carrying a bottle of half a gallon of water in my hand. I think it's time to start thinking about purchasing a running vest. I know nothing about them, but preferably the vest should in some way contain a holding of 1500ml of water minimum.
Runners out there, what do you recommend?

Just ran 22km. Didn't feel so hard, but my heart rate is always 170-180 avg and cannot run faster than 6:45min/km. I wonder why is that. I run 3 times per week on evenings. I should probably try mornings again or add more walking to my training for the days of no running.

I actually have no idea how many boosts and favs some of the most successful posts get here in the Fediverse, because my instance shows a fraction of them no matter how successful they are. But guess what? I don’t care! It’s the best part here, to effectively unlearn that like-craving social media trait.
Everyone likes ”likes”, but in here it happens in our own terms and overall the metrics don’t really matter in the end.

:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-alpha.2+mementomods-2024-02-14 + Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc15.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date by 73 commits from the upstream repository. This update contains the latest security patch. We have also upgraded 79 system packages.
I love running the newest version so I can test ahead in production to the upcoming #MastodonBirdUI versions. I do have my local instance with the production db, but it is far more fun this way and it feels good to have new things.
This "testing in live" is also so that I can help contributing to Mastodon and spot bugs before they end up in the final rc, beta or stable versions. There most probably will be some minor bugs, but the earlier we tackle them the better.
As usual, please tell me about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

It's the final night of 2024 Finnish presidential election tonight. They are counting votes right now. Alexander Stubb from The National Coalition Party has 52,6% of the votes and Pekka Haavisto from The Green League has 47,4% of the votes.
What amazes me is that according to the polls a sexual orientation is a reason for 40% of Stubb voters not to vote for Haavisto. This is one of the reasons I did not personally vote for Stubb for the final round. Finland is a country of 5,5 million that consists of way too many racist hillbillies. Journalists even stated Finland back in the days as a "pikku-Jenkkilä" which means "a Small America"...

When coming back from the algorithmic social medias I always feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing the fact that on the Fediverse boosts really matter, because they make the posts pop up naturally as there is no "For you" feed. It's actually fun to boost posts here, because you know you know YOU are the algorithm. It's more fun and meaningful that way.

It’s funny to me that some people on Threads are saying Mastodon (mistakenly thinking it’s a one service) will always be ”small” and ”closed”. Well, soon we’ll be in the same crowd with the Threads people, perhaps with others like Tumblr too.
The Fediverse can expand unlike the other truly closed social networks. This is exactly like talking about the Internet in the 80s, ”it will be a small thing for the nerds, and always will be so”.

Almost everyone who says "Mastodon didn't work for me" on Bluesky seems to have posted only "me me me" stuff for months, followed about 10-20 people, never replied to anyone and then gave up because "nobody there, it didn't fly".
It seems there is a big misunderstanding how this free and healthy social media works. We are not here for the easy wins, likes, shares and dopamine spikes. We are here because we accept the fact we are not part of the commercial hype machine. We choose natural engagement over spoiling algorithms, we choose conversation and meaning in our social media. At least that is how I see it.

During my one year activity on the #Fediverse I've now seen at least four instance admins quitting from being an admin or shutting down their server. Two out of five of these cases were admins being dickheads and the rest of them were mostly about users being dickheads leading admin getting burned out.
Both outcomes are unfortunate, but the latter makes me sad. Why do we have to harass and doxx an admin here for such pseudetical reasons like extensive open text search feature? I don't get humans sometimes.
I repeat: We are not free from toxicity on the Fediverse. Be kind. Make a chance.

I won't be joining #Bluesky like I didn't join #Spoutible, #Post, #Substack or #Hive. Like #Twitter and #Meta/#Facebook, they all suck. I won't tolerate discrimination any longer nor will be owned by any millionaire. "Social" media today is a new form of slavery. I'm freeing myself by being here.
No more centralized and VC backed microblogging for me. I will be my own landlord here on the #Fediverse. #Mastodon ftw.
