"By the end of 2000, the web had settled into a strange dual state: the financial euphoria of the dot-com boom was gone, yet the culture of the web had never felt more alive."

"We started with participants sharing personal technology stories—EVs as climate-guilt-free mobility, pirate radio stations as creation rather than consumption, bikes as intergenerational freedom. Then we unpacked the narratives underneath: what myths, what power structures, what economic forces […]

Hey there! I'm one of the blind folks who read alt text on here. I'd like to say thank you for adding that so that I can also enjoy images of cartoon animals. A little effort from you means a world of difference for people like me

Hey, today I'm celebrating (?) 3 years of being a US citizen!

As a gift, I'd love for my fellow US citizens to check whether they're registered to vote, and help their friends and family do the same.

Just search online for "register to vote" + your state.

Don't like your choices in the […]

Ah, apparently I got blocked by this person.

@ProcessParsnip Yep, this is exactly what I said. So far I've not seen a legitimate use for this behavior.

Stefan Bohacek @stefan.stefanbohacek.online.ap.brid.gy · 1d

There is a renewed conversation around this, but for those not aware, this has been a very common abuse tactic during the last big Twitter/X-to-fediverse migration.

You can actually post a followers-only post, tag a non-follower, and only that person and your followers will see it.

Perfect for […]

cc @mastodonmigration, since you brought this up just yesterday.

I brought this up to the Mastodon team (no response yet), but I wonder if the solution, at least a temporary one, to the problem where people get harassed with followers-only posts that @ mention them, thus hiding these posts from public view and […]

A mocked up screenshot of the notification settings page. Among the default options (see full list below) I added:

Followers-only mentions from accounts you don't follow
Do you want to hide followers-only messages from accounts you don't follow?

The default notification settings categories are:

- People you don't follow
- People not following you
- New accounts
- Unsolicited private mentions
- Moderated accounts

@liaizon Yeah, I think it's great that the fediverse looks at Bluesky/ATProto to see what works, and what makes sense to copy. No shame in doing and admitting so!

From the linked GitHub repo:

"We believe that these kinds of user-generated, curated collections could help people to find their tribe more quickly when they join the Fediverse.
