Alternative Reddit frontend I prefer: teddit.net/

These and other alternative FEs to proprietary services are catalogued and redirected to at farside.link/ !

Alternative FEs to proprietary services are often subject to rate-limiting, outright blocking etc, and instances come and go. If you want to share e.g. Twitter content you can share a link to farside.link/nitter/npettiaux/… and it will redirect to that post on a Nitter instance detected as up.

oh no... it was not my intention to be lewd...

well then you can call me Eris

or one of my excessive number of alternate names

Hmm.

I don't think I can go back to Mastodon, but my followers are going to get more annoyed with me the more I use Friendica. Someone just @'ed me saying "those big reply-all threads really need to get reigned in," so... Between that and really needing private posts, I don't think I can stay here.

I think maybe I should just leave fedi so I have no temptation to get emotionally invested in its discourse. But at the same time it's hard for me to withdraw my investment in fedi, especially with so many friends. I'm in a bit of a pickle here.

I guess I could create yet another new main account. See how that goes.

I hope I did not discourage you from being someplace you want to stay. I like following you and seeing what you have to say; I just didn't want myself or others to have to unfollow you over the mass DM federation issues with other platforms.

Oh no, you didn't discourage me at all, but the fact that I can't make private posts does mean that I have to rethink my fedi presence. And the reason I switch main accounts in the first place was that I was already starting to get disillusioned with the fediverse, and thought getting rid of Mastodon's limitations might help with that.
Friendica Support reshared this.

!Friendica Support It seems that when i make a private post, Misskey/Calckey clients interpret it as a group DM to all of my followers. This makes it somewhat uncomfortable to post "private" here, because there's a strong chance every one of my followers gets pinged, resulting in more attention, when the whole point was to attract less.

Should this be reported as a bug against Friendica? Or is it a problem on Misskey's end? Or is there a Friendica setting to mitigate this? Either way, it might make me have to move accounts again, to a Misskey, Pleroma, or Mastodon fork, to avoid this. Or simply use a private account there.

Concerning the permissions: Many ActivityPub systems only know:

  • Public
  • Unlisted (but public)
  • Private (to followers)
  • DM

We support all of these but we also support private posts to selected accounts. This will most likely be displayed as "private (to followers)" on these systems, since they only know these 4 options. In my tests a reply on my posts only was sent to me directly, not to my followers. And my reply to such a post was directed to the original group. So from a privacy perspective it should be fine. But it would be great if the remote systems could handle it in a better way to avoid confusion.

"it's okay to block anyone for any reason" is a slogan, and like many slogans it has a core of truth but is really bad if you take it literally (if you're friends with someone and you block them without telling them why [and there are no context clues that would make it obvious] you're probably being an asshole)

I think the slogan is more aimed at like... if some random dillweed is posting cringe in your mentions, you don't actually have to engage them, you can just block and move on

If it's someone you know and have a relationship with then I think I'd probably ask what's up first yeah

Are there any good multi-account Matrix clients for Linux and Android? I've been thinking of getting a second Matrix account since my current account is heavily tied to my "worksona", and the username is related to my legal name which some people are uncomfortable with knowing, but I don't want to lose that account.

I have noticed that FluffyChat on Android can manage more than one account, but what about Linux clients?

(do boost!)

i believe you can run Fluffy on desktop. It's the only client I'm aware of with multi account support. That said, I find it clunky looking on desktop as it looks more like a mobile app. So, it's not ideal.

I am surprised someone made a whole website for this but hey, it's an important rule of netiquette

Maybe saying "hi" is okay if you don't care what response you get and have nothing specific you want to ask or discuss, but if you do have something to ask or discuss, just lead with that

Warriors proudly display their scars, as souvenirs of battles fought and sacrifices made. Yet they are often ashamed of scars no one can see. A wound on the soul is still a wound, and we should work to heal them just as we would a cut or a bruise. Reject shame, and heal.

The scars we don't show should remain concealed, until we have been invited to show them. There is no honour to be found delivering our own trauma to another like a photon torpedo.

Some yellow-headed blackbirds from this weekend doing whatever it takes to find a special someone to get up and get down with.

One whole strip of the marsh was like a 1980s PBS telethon, the calls of the blackbirds just ringing off the hook.
#Birds #Oregon

Close up photo of a yellow-headed blackbird standing in profile atop a mass of dry, bent tule, a blur of marsh grass and green water behind em. E is looking just right of center, eir black-masked face and bill seemingly accusatory in the center of eir enormously puffed up yellow head and throat. Eir black body feathers (with its few white patches) are likewise puffed up, so the overall effect is that we've encountered one badass blackbird.
Photo of another yellow-headed blackbird, also puffed up like a boss amidst a field of matted marsh rushes and tule, only this time perched rather comically with eir black legs far apart as e leans forward, black hackles rising behind em, as though about to scream (which, in fact, moments later e did).
Photo of a marshy field of rushes, a slightly blurred Canada goose looking away in the background, with a yellow-headed blackbird standing in the bottom left corner, black and white wings spread out but turned down as e lifts eir yellow head and opens eir bill wide to cry out, "I'm the king of the marsh!"
Another photo of a yellow-headed blackbird, this time shown in left-facing profile and demurely elongated, eir left wing stretching slowly down and out so you can see the dark fan of the feathers below the smooth, thick curve of white barring. Eir bright yellow head is bent forward, thin leg gripping the rushes standing in the blurred green water, as though e is standing in arabesque.

@woozle i’ve been trying to convince my friends to use threema but nobody wants to pay for an app, and you still need to put it on the phone first.

when i finally got a smartphone in like 2012, i thought we‘d finally have everything that runs on the computer in the pocket. i surely did not expect the shift to smartphones to end up causing a limitation to what you can access with a computer 😒​

sometimes I wonder how the average person I run into sees me. are they amused, or disgusted? do they think I'm unhinged, or just normal?

it's hard to see me as normal when i have an accent from nowhere, stim visibly all the time, walk without much awareness of space, and often neglect "self-care". but i don't dress conspicuously, and i speak rather agreeably and intelligibly, so i could pass as normal.
