La IA está entrenada por incultos. Sorprende, claro, pero a otros incultos.
Estamos en una época en la que la tecnología está aprendiendo a caminar, por así decirlo. No tengo dudas de que en algún momento lo hará bien. Pero es molesto cuando intentan generar esa necesidad de usar IA para todo, o dejar que servidores con algoritmos decidan sobre la vida cotidiana e influyan en cada decisión. Sobre todo cuando el humano mismo también está aprendiendo a pararse.
And now I notice/remember there are some differences between Glitch's & regular Mastodon's rendering of markdown
The rest looks the same.

Okay, I'm milking this day--4/20. Another quick scene from my book BEER POUR of the pot-smoking Vice President, Jacqueline Farmington. #Marijuana #fourtwenty #excerpts #books #book #bookstodon #writersofMastodon #mastodon #humor #mood #milk #advertising #film #filmMastodon #bookLovers #readers #readingCommunity #reading #writing #writer #writingCommunity #writers #scribesAndMakers #funny #scene #character #characters

You know, ever since Mastodon allowed for quoting posts, I've honestly liked it here a lot more. I know that quoted post has come as a direct threat to the ethos, but it such a good feature for interactions. Plus, the way it's handled is much better than other platforms.
What’s some good alternatives to iOS official mastodon client, I’ve found it’s become a bit unusable lately but I’m not sure where to start with other clients… #mastodon #client
I honestly haven't noticed any impact from the DDOS attack on Mastodon.social.
...unless not encountering any assholes or DNC shills today counts an an impact?
"Mastodon says its flagship server was hit by a DDoS attack"
"The DDoS attack against Mastodon's flagship server comes less than a week after Bluesky was targeted with junk web traffic."

Mastodon #peeve:
If you click a hastag, you're taken to page summarizing content with that hashtag etc.
At the top is a prominent button labelled "Follow hashtag", which does what it says in one click.
There is no equivalent "Block" or "Filter out" functionality on this page. Instead, you have to copy the tag (or retype it later), go to Preferences, select Filters, then Add New Filter, then fill out a multi-input form, and then click Add Filter.
#Mastodon should make it as easy to filter specific things out of your feed as it does to follow those same specific things. The fact that the difference in effort here is so stark makes it feel like a dark design pattern - maybe even to the point of being abusive to the user.
There's also a different level of effort for following/muting-or-blocking a user. To follow, you can hover over their name in your feed, and there's a one-click button to follow them. But to block or mute them, you have to open a separate page for the user, and then click multiple things to actually complete the action.
"Create a suggestion issue in our repo!" - ya, I've done that a few times. Those requests appear to drop into the round file, unread and unresponded-to. It seems posting to Fedi gets better traction.

Where are the #women in this network? I am interested in getting to know non male people in here to learn about #fediverse #mastodon #feminism #nonbinary #lgbtqia #antiracism
