I like the commit bot idea.

Will it post its own commit messages?

"What is this thing @TQ just attached to my head? It says: 'added new haircut'"

#practicecoding

@TQ@octodon.social Soooo... do you really want to go into Mastodon code / API?

Because if you want to build a polling tool for mastodon? Everyone who might be just starting to learn basic programming will be lost?

"Federated thread resolving - If someone you follow replies to a user unknown to the server, the server fetches the full thread so you can view it without leaving the UI"

Apparently there are too many unknown users so I guess I have to expand my followings ^^

Soooo... it is a bit hard to follow conversations with my computerfairi.es account because I only see about half of the responses in conversations than I can see on witches.town (from non-witches and non-fairies).

Is this a federation-thing I didn't get?

I

@TQ@octodon.social Yes... I have Tusky on my tablet with one account and Tusky on my phone with my other account.

But I can't buy more devices, every time I decide to make a new mastodon account, because I'm sure this will happen soon ^^

@TQ@octodon.social Like I use this account for tech related stuff (which includes my thesis-writing related whining at the moment). So people who are not interested in things like that, know there will be long toots about stuff they don't understand and don't want to see. @vfrmedia

@TQ@octodon.social Yes, I can see their point. I just don't think this is how mastodon works. If they don't want to read your toots they can unfollow or scroll by it without actually reading it.

If one wants to make all the long toots about topics that only a few people are interested in: just make a new account? @vfrmedia

@vfrmedia Yes... I'm not into using CWs for all the things they weren't invented for. And using CWs just for "hiding" long toots... I'm not doing that.

As for learning collaboration projects like #practicecoding it just adds more barriers.

@DaveHiggins@octodon.social Yes, me too ^^

@DaveHiggins@octodon.social Yes, but it's just one click to disable it for your response, so should be no big deal :)

One click while responding vs. everyone has to click every time they want to read the toot.

And maybe don't hide every 1 sentence answer to a cw-ed long toot behind a cw? We will get a #practicecoding tag full of "show more"s and won't find anything without aggressive clicking? ^^

Ok #practicecoding people!

Remember to mark your toots' exposure status as public! Unlisted toots don't show up in #hashtag searches!
