I would not have guessed that reply guys replying to really popular accounts would ever check if their reply is a duplicate.
I didn’t catch that this is why Alec stopped posting there. I assumed he was just being sensitive to being a public figure in general.
When you make a channel that is filled with “well actually” and “turns out.” You should expect your audience is into doing the same.
The federation issues of replies/boosts/hearts/etc are still a big bummer, though.

They want an algorithm.
As much as people mock it, or know it’s the source of why social media optimizes for outrage and other unhealthy behaviors, the algorithm is what they are missing on Mastodon.
As someone who always used third party Twitter apps, and never directly saw the algorithm in my timeline, mastodon feels like Twitter always did.

It would be neat to know precisely what parts are expensive. Broad generalizations about how prices on goods go up and down aren’t quite as interesting. 😅

Sounds like someone needs to make a community for that.
Otherwise, this is what technology is these days. And I’d say that staying blind to things like this is what got us into many messes.
I remember when tech news was mostly a press release pipeline. And when I see these comments, I see people who want press releases about new tech to play with.
- Comment on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake announced 11 months ago:
The updated graphics do look super pretty. This is a classic, and if this keeps new people playing it into the future that’s awesome.
I think of remasters/remakes like this like I do brand new 4k HDR remasters of classic movies. Since they are shorter focused narrative games.

- Comment on Weezer straight up writing ads for audible.com 1 year ago:
It’s interesting. There are many songs infer the years about products the song writer likes.
I’m thinking about beers, and cars, and instruments, and various other things. Including games and movies and books.
It’s funny that once it’s a website, that crosses the line.
