@andypiper Happy NY! We are still wrestling with this confounding problem. The rationale never felt adequate, and there isn’t a single other website or social media platform that gives our browser extension this problem. It forces us to direct our users to OTHER apps to avoid it, which is nuts. Can you explain why the CSP must be this draconian? Can’t whitelisting solve any issue Mastodon devs uniquely feel is a problem?

@johannes.ernst @Green_Footballs and I do the first two in our extension. Nearly ready for testing, at long last. Unsure of exactly what you mean by “same account for multiple instances?” Do you mean some kind of nomadic identity?

What amazes me is how the Twitter diaspora that scattered journalists and audiences across multiple platforms, hasn’t made it clear to everyone why an Open Social network should be everyone’s priority. Humanity needs it to be free of corporate and psychopathic platform owners.

@alastair That’s odd. It shows up fine in my extension-based viewer, but not in Mastodon deck. A Masto ninja might be able to explain it. Likely a bug, but a darn selective one. cc @andypiper

Has anyone else noticed that social web is much quieter than other platforms on weekday mornings and early afternoon? Or at least it feels that way to me. Can any data geeks confirm or refute that perception?

I’ve always thought that was probably true. But the fail point is going to vary with every type and instance of a community. But given enough discovery tools that span and index communities, I don’t know that scale matters all that much.

I just had my first video chat with @J12t. He was the 2nd person (after @tchambers) that I firmly identified as a true “fediverse influencer” after the Twitter migration last year and I’d looked forward to meeting. If you’re not familiar with his @fediforum, do check it out. https://fediforum.org/

Bingo. Technical diversity and innovation will flourish when multiple models coexist, if not fully interoperate. It shouldn’t matter model what the business (or non business) model is. Not every innovation has to be a major money maker—or make money at all. Many makers are still content to just have a successful product. It doesn’t have to launch a billion dollar enterprise to bring society a value.

I hate to point this out, but by my reckonning, most of the Twitter elites who gave Mastodon a shot, have flipped to Threads of Bluesky. With a few exceptions, I rarely see them post here anymore. You can say that doesn’t matter, but that would be naive. It absolutely does. If Mastodon can’t be a destination for punditry and journalism, it has to succeed as a community platform or something else. Same with Bluesky.
