Oh dang that’s creepy.

Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I had a similar thought to your first paragraph. I mostly use MBFC for the “factual reporting” rating, because it seems easier to be objective about.
Just to clarify, I don’t develop any fediverse software, I wouldn’t want to take any credit from those amazing people.
- Comment on Loops by pixelfied Is Doomed to Fail Because of Daniel Supernault 2 weeks ago:
I have always liked the saying that an overnight success takes 5-10 years. Getting frustrated with someone who is developing two different Fediverse platforms simultaneously after 12 days seems a little quick.
I think you make good arguments in your video about how similar loops and peertube are, but I don’t view that as a negative. We see lots of duplication in the world, even within open source (Linux vs BSD vs Redox, ardupilot vs pixhawk vs betaflight). When it’s open source they can all learn from each other and reach better solutions sooner.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 weeks ago:
These comments have made me very curious if that exists or how that might be designed.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 weeks ago:
Ok well nothing as impressive as yours. Averaging 15 posts a day for the last 19 months is a full time job.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 3 weeks ago:
That seems like important nuance for sure.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 3 weeks ago:
that worked thanks
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 3 weeks ago:
ha, that’s possible.
- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 3 weeks ago:
Relative to your impressive comment and post count, it appears I was.

I guess I had missed it the first time

Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.
Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.

You are in luck my friend: streetcomplete.app
They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

This is a clever solution

- Comment on Whether you've got big plans for your Sunday or are just going to relax, Putin could change your plans, end your life, kill all of your family, and incinerate everything you own. 4 months ago:
This was reported for breaking rule 1,4,5.
-
The votes seem to agree that it’s not a shower thought. I’m slow to remove a post for this rule, I would rather let the votes do the work.
-
I’m not sure saying this about Putin is saying anything about any people group. You can be hugely supportive of people groups while thinking their leaders are responsible for, or capable of, horrible things. At various times nearly every country could be used as an example of this.
-
I’m not sure what community rule it’s breaking. It’s not a very positive post but people should be free to be negative online if they that’s how they feel. Lord knows that many comment threads are negative. I may feel differently if the the majority of posts suddenly became negative.
As always I’m open to feedback.

It’s not always that simple…

I’m certainly having trouble making sense of them.
- Comment on A message on navigating life's uncertainty 7 months ago:
This post got reported.
The reporters are correct, you should have the entire thought in the title, then use the body to go into detail.
For example your title could have been “life is largely random circumstance, so relax”.
Shower thoughts aren’t typically advice for other people, unless you take showers with other people to save water, but it’s nice advice and it embodies the positive community that the code of conduct is designed to encourage.

- Comment on "BeReal." FOSS alternative? Yes please! 9 months ago:
Or maybe we could have a rule like “Any post that’s greater than 12hrs old and has less than 30% approval gets removed” I like this because it gives voting more power for shaping the community and it’s objective.
- Comment on "BeReal." FOSS alternative? Yes please! 9 months ago:
OP wants FOSS BeReal, it’s all there in the title. There is no rule against having a body to the post. I agree that I would be disappointed if showerthoughts was only people’s product ideas.
If this type of post became commonplace we could make a rule trying to avoid spam. How would you word the rule? “No promotion of products or product concepts” that might work. Rules have side effects so I would want to look back through old posts to see if it would hurt quality posts.
This post did get two reports. Reports are not super down votes, things need to break rules for me to pull them, I try to be objective. As always I’m open to discussion.
I did giggle about commenter below that is sometimes old. Silver linings.
- Comment on NASA remotely reprogramming Voyager 1 also means that aliens can reprogram all of our satellites. 9 months ago:
You have a lot of great things to offer this conversation, I’m not sure why all the aggression was needed.
- Comment on Identity politics and universal pseudonymity arose at the same time. 10 months ago:
Several of your comments/posts are being reported. You can find the code of conduct here: mastodon.world/about
There is nothing shocking in there just basic thing like no name calling. Which I suspect is why this comment was being reported. And is why I took down your other post.
Text is very poor at communicating a lot of subtleties that you get in other forms of communication. So it’s helpful to expect the best intentions of others and maybe ask clarifying questions.
If you look through other posts and comments you will find that people tend to be pretty chill, looking for a laugh or to make others laugh, and enjoying curious observations about life. People also get passionate about certain topics but I like how the code of conduct puts it “Criticize ideas, never people.”
