Mal sehen, wie lange das dauert bis #Mastodon 4.5 auf #Yunohost ankommt … 🍿 https://www.heise.de/news/Grosses-Update-Mastodon-kann-jetzt-Quote-Posts-und-findet-alle-Kommentare-11068632.html
I have to ask something about #Mastodon that no one else seems to have brought up in all this time so I'm legitimately beginning to wonder.
Am I the only one having trouble with the fact that I cannot safely view or clear notifications without losing my place in the timeline randomly? If I click (or tap when on mobile) notifications, when I go back there is a completely randomized chance that it will jump me back to the top of the page and lose my place, forcing me to have to find it again via either very very fast searching of exactly the right search terms (before things start unloading and breaking even the search) or hit end which goes past where I actually was then scroll back with some stuff changed.
I had assumed this was a known thing, but no one else has mentioned it.
I have invented¹ a powerful rhetorical tool:
The term "for-profit social media".
It does two things: It highlights that a social media user is a resource being exploited, and implies that non-profit social media exists.
¹ At least I think I did.
#Mastodon の #upgrade で v4.5.0 になった。
やったこと: mastodon process を止めて、全てlive$ で
git fetch && git checkout v4.5.0
(rbenv の update)
git -C "$(rbenv root)"/plugins/ruby-build pull
(Ruby 3.4.7をinstall)
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-jemalloc rbenv install
bundle install
yarn install --immutable
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db:migrate
v4.4.0 への upgrade と少し様子が違った。
It would be nice if links to ActivityPub content were rewritten so that they're opened on my instance. That way I can easily boost/reply to the linked content.
I wish I had enough fully functioning fingers to upgrade my instance to #Mastodon v4.5.
Well this is annoying. I don’t care if the original poster approves this or not. I’m just linking,* which is what we all did on #Mastodon before these “quote posts” became their obsession. And I’ve been here since 2017.
Don’t waste people’s times, we have already set our accounts to allow quote posts or not.
* You know, how the World Wide Web basically works.

@amadeus By Mastodon do you mean actually just #Mastodon itself only, ie not including the forks like #GlitchSoc & other alternatives such as #GoToSocial #Pleroma etc? (Sorry to be a pedant!)

#PhanpySocial もすでに引用機能に対応。
引用機能がない環境だとリンクの挿入という形での引用もできたけど、自サーバーが #Mastodon
の新しい引用に対応してるバージョンだったりすると、ちゃんと UI に組み込まれた引用として表示・操作できる。
Phanpy いつものことながら流石すぎる。 ![]()
Someone should tell me exactly why some people incorrectly think that this is a bot account.

I consider this to be an important read, for both progressives and doomers here on #Mastodon.
"Manufactured consensus only works until lived experience contradicts it. Tuesday, lived experience voted. That’s what collapsed the simulation."
"When you declare “it’s 1933, consolidation is complete, resistance is futile,” you validate the authoritarian narrative. You discourage mobilization."
