@spacemagick These posts are pulled from across the #fediverse and we actually purposefully disable the hashtags by inserting a space. Otherwise it really makes it difficult to read the quote of the original author.

But, of course, we don't want to make the hashtag words disappear, and removing the # completely would likely make it more confusing for readers.

What do you recommend?

My photograph of a beautiful fruit glazed cheesecake that was served at a family member's house last Christmas Day. After trying it, it was certainly just as delicious as it looks. A colorful fruit cheesecake sits on a decorative tray with a lacy doily. A knife with a vibrant yellow handle rests beside the tart.

@wouterkobes
Digitale soevereiniteit waarbij je volledig onafhankelijk bent van Amerikaanse big tech is het enige dat echt toekomstvast is. Stop de afhankelijkheid van platforms die eigendom zijn van derden en neem de communicatiekanalen in eigen hand.

Een gedecentraliseerde 'self hosted' oplossing is waar je uiteindelijk op uitkomt en dan is de #Fediverse een voor de hand liggende keuze.

@fediversereport @Mastodon

I'm not sure if I agree with

@laurenshof

sentence

"It is the culture of the federation layer, formed through years of shared follows, shared boosts, shared blocks and shared arguments about what is acceptable, and it governs even though no institution maintains it."

whether is likely true that most of #fediverse users, today, has neuter or bad opinion about AI or whatever other controversial topic, nobody has the exact same "federation layer experience" as someone else.

Each one of us follow determined people, or topic, and silence or block other and that means that my federated timeline is different than yours.

If I'm seriously uninterested into something , say a bubble, or a continental popular music contest, or a sport, or whatever
I won't search for it, I won't comment it, I would eventually silence the topic, if it gets too noisy

I'm not going to tell all people worldwide not to talk about it.

I follow the creator of a particular good software because I think is relevant to hear what he thinks about software, that does not mean I agree on all his opinions about anything

Ok, dang, #smolfedi might be the most beautiful quasi-brutalistic #fediverse web interface i've seen so far.

Much lighter than (pina|sema|ena)fore, much prettier than brutaldon, and easier to use than snac2's web UI.

I could seriously get used to this, especially on my leanest systems.

RE: https://mstdn.social/@stux/116376432608782786

toldyall if Xitter was hiding and shadow-banning me, they were doing it to other lefties.

Xitter even went as far as automatically reducing my number of followers. they just wouldn’t allow my numbers to go beyond 30K. and it’s bullshit they were fighting bots. the majority of the followers of their “partner” celebrities are bots.

this, btw, is yet another reason marketers hate the #fediverse: tis much harder to fake followers. they need some activity to be visible here; not so there.
