@liaizon @technology I wasn't big on twitter, but when Mastodon got popular in the wake of the twitter migration I saw an opportunity to capture back some of the joy in connecting with others that I felt had been kind of robbed over the years. Have been quite enjoying running a mastodon instance and now that lemmy and kbin are getting popular I want to keep things going!

@eric5949 @shortwavesurfer

Does this response also do that? I don't generally see markup on my comments when I click through to beehaw but maybe it shows up for some users and not others?

@hedge It's really telling that having an API that allows controlled access to the car's state is equivalent to "no security" when uh.... that's how the rest of the world works.

@jmp242 @hedge I find that the users prefer textual search results the better training they get at searching. When things are being surfaced *for* them, they don't build the skills needed to evaluate search results and refine terms.

@HawkMan @manitcor

@jmp242 @Morgueanna People these days aren't getting the practice they need to search and curate their online activities because the main platforms they grew up interacting on - twitter, insta, and tiktok, suggest communities and other users to you. They get intimidated without the assist they get from these suggestions because the breadth of options is overwhelming if you don't know how to navigate, and without very clear intervention and ramps for low-skill users it's hard to retain anyone who doesn't have the time and inclination to learn. Took me a while to figure that out, eventually learned it from a research librarian that she's actually got to work harder to teach people how to search these days.

@Arystique Imgur is deleting anonymously uploaded photos to save costs. that is .... most of them

@redditrefugee @Archit bit of a rude word to call her, especially in the US if you're not from here and your culture is a lot more relaxed on that word. So while it's gross that they've banned you I'm kind of not surprised that kind of language would attract that kind of attention.
