I mean, that’s great, I hate scripting in powershell too though lol.

I’ve always been particularly revolted by powershell syntax and utilities
Lol exactly. It’s often like the same exact 4 accounts on that trending page too. And it’s always these topics:
It’s just politics and Linux. Which is fine if you like that, I like Linux, but not this much. Being completely overwhelmed by political takes was part of why I left Twitter, with the blue checks being boosted. I’m so tired of seeing that same dude in a suit with a white beard bitching about [insert today’s controversial political topic] every time I open it. It’s like he has residency on the page.
Same. And I really gave it a chance, but it’s just not better unless you’re using it as a small chronological feed of people on your local instance. Which I know some people enjoy. I know interesting people and posts are on there, I know there are hilarious people on there, because I follow some of them. But the vast majority of them I discovered by random chance, it took a long time, and I’m still too bored by the app to bother opening it. Not to mention, if some important news is trending, I don’t see it right away. Which is something I’d always valued twitter for. I could pretty much be “in the know” within seconds of opening the app.
The people are there, the content is there, there’s 100% a discoverability problem
Oh I know, and I fully agree with getting rid of that. I’m not looking for ideal, I’m just looking for SOMETHING better than “oh you aren’t finding interesting content? Subscribe to hashtags that get spammed with BS by thousands of bots per day. Or search some obscure websites for ‘trendy’ mastodon users to follow. Or y’know what, this instance probably isn’t for you, research a bunch of other instances and see if something works better.”
The experience right now seems like one, to me, that a very small niche of people would enjoy. And that’s fine if they want to stay that way, just wish there was something better. And I think it’ll come with time.
I can’t, given I don’t have the time or webdev experience. So I’ll comment about features I think would be nice in the currently most popular fediverse twitter clone.
If it’s based on what I like and repost, and recommends things that people with similar likes and reposts enjoy, that information is already out there. No extra data collection required. Doesn’t need to be mandatory either, just a separate feed.
I’d really just prefer a recommendation algorithm. I tried curating it for months and I rarely go on mastodon. Because I’m either seeing 100000 posts that I’m not interested in to find one decent one, or reading posts from the very few people I know I like and closing the app in 2 minutes. I’m honestly not a fan of the purely chronological approach.
I’ve experienced it now, and I really, really don’t like it.
Why yes, groups of people who act like a bunch of dogpiling 4chan trolls typically don’t have their beliefs respected or acknowledged. Tone is important. Glad we could help you come to that realization.
I’ll be switching and abandoning this account if imaqtpie doesn’t change their mind within a few days.
Why tf did you guys federate with us? Everyone here thinks you’re a pest and most of you seem to be miserable interacting with us. Leave?
Y’all are exhausting, I don’t have the time or energy to engage with paragraphs over niche Internet drama because your lot doesn’t know how to play nice. Feels exactly like when we were federated with exploding-heads. Touch some grass.
Yeah, garbage post. I expect we’ll see discussion/vote for defederation soon, though. I’d like to hear from TheDude as his stance made a lot more sense when we were defederating from exploding-heads.
Literal children
A hexbear user complaining about people engaging in bad faith is just… y’all are on a different planet.
Yeah I think we should put this up to a vote. Seems the majority of the instance disagrees that hexbear is a “valuable asset”
Beehaw defederated everyone lmao
It’s not like anyone cares once you have the job anyway
