@nprofile…lel8 that are always on, and have their own dedicated space in the UI.

I actually hate that iOS scroll bars — the normally invisible until you scroll, and then only appear as a nearly impossibly skinny bar at the extreme right side of the container— are actually interactive.
And *when* you accidentally touch one (it is never on purpose), the scroll direction changes to *the opposite direction* and is also greatly accelerated.
This of course, utterly loses your place in your scroll.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.

But there's a relatively new product out that I didn't know about, and it may actually be of magical origin.

@nprofile…uptt @nprofile…5dxw The evac of Black Mastodon is a very complex and nuanced topic that was mostly fuelled by coordinated active racist harassment campaigns.
But let’s not at all try to equate what happened there with what is a general disinterest / distain / hostility for what was a computer science topic turned sociopolitical.
They are not the same.

@nprofile…uptt @nprofile…5dxw There are no blockers with the software for any community, AI or otherwise.
What’s the definition of ‘thrive’? Federation means de facto, traditional metrics like ‘reach’ and ‘engagement’ won’t ever be on a scale like a monolith like Twitter/Bsky/Threads.
Mastodon is as open as it can possibly be… in fact, it is SO open, the scale of reach you can achieve with those other platforms is literally impossible. Millions of intersecting communities, at a more human scale.

2026-04-04 21:07:28 UTC

Yes. Always have been. Until recently, asking your existing salary was legal, and still is in most parts of the US.

@nprofile…lel8 I have my original cassette ;-) i also have the recent boxed set, and SACD. I’m curious if the SACD and new Rhino come from the same source. Obvs they need different masterings, but if also if they’re similar.

2026-03-19 03:31:58 UTC

In case you missed it (and care), Rhino High Fidelity has pre-orders up for INXS Kick, all analogue, 180g, original master tapes.
Rhino really nails their Hi Fidelity (and Rhino Reserve) series, so… you may wanna pick this one up. This is a numbered run, limited to 5k. Often a year or so later, they'll do an unnumbered run if it sells out quickly.

@nprofile…uptt My take (which seems to fly in the face of the zeitgeist) is that Mastodon is not meant foremost as a private messaging app. It is at its core, an *open, social* microposting platform. There are apps that are radically better suited for private and safe comms, and I am a huge proponent of letting things be true to themselves. When you try to shoehorn stuff into a system not intended to do that stuff, it ends poorly.
So, sure, DMs out of the timeline, but no Signal-like hardening.
