I totally get the privacy features of only allowing people on lists whom you follow, but I wish there was a way to have a "low priority follow"?
There's people where you don't want to miss a single toot, and there's people at whose toots you occasionally glance. But it you put those people on a list, they'll also show up in your home stream.
And putting the "important" people in a separate list is less than ideal because lists have rather bad UX right now...

birdsite, musings 

I've been back to the birdside for first time in three days right now... and... except for a little bit of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), I don't even WANT to go there...

It allows me to have 4 columns open (+ Drawer & Getting Started) on a 1080p screen without horizontal scrolling!

I made a userstyle for mastodon, based on work by @trwnh and @numimyon. I'd post a screenshot, but I don't want you to read all my toots!

What does it do differently?
It makes stuff take up less space (I like to have more columns open) and adds some nice colors to the headers.
Probably other stuff, too?

MH(-), PTSD 

Because feeling relaxed is very nice and EXTREMELY RARE for me, I decided to read some wikipedia, which led me to do this online questionnaire... sooo yeah...

I guess I have to put more effort into following cool people... πŸ€”

Even if I found a way to mute all , many of them are untagged and don't have bot in their name.
Am I the only one having a problem with all that "automated" content in the federated timeline?

At least my local timeline is sapience-created 😊

I'm feeling very relaxed right now 😊
Hope it stays that way!

It's almost... like it's the πŸ€”

Socialist econo-fiction where billionaires have to check in regularly with social workers in order to get their access to their wealth re-approved while welfare recipients are assumed to be acting in good faith until proven otherwise.

pol, out of context, funny 

I just read a thing on tumblr, and it ended what I can only assume is a battle cry.

So next time I'm at a protest, I shall shout at the top of my lungs: "Butter the elders and aim them at the bourgoisie."

There's a pretty sweet-looking client called "Tooty", but development seems to have stalled and it doesn't support emoji shortcodes... that's a deal-breaker for me 😭

Apparently I can have several accounts in one window πŸ€”
Might get confusing, though...

There are so many cozy masto instances... can I have several local timelines? πŸ˜…

There are a LOT of weird bots in the federated timeline...

In 2 weeks I'll be 35. WTF. Where has that time gone?

I'm watching a trailer for a random John "The Dwayne" Rockson movie, where he drives a truck and rams smaller vehicles off the road... I REALLY want to play MotoStorm now!

I might finally get a PS3 again in 2 weeks :blobshh:

There's a bunch of people who I don't talk to any more since I moved away...
And a few people I never met, who just stopped talking to me...
I miss the latter so much more 😭

Depression 

I'm in one of those moods where I just want to lie in bed reread my favourite books (that's a bad mood, in case you're unfamiliar).
And for once that bad mood could have been avoided, if I had paid a bit more attention to what I was doing 😦

True software freedom for this age: you can get the source code of a service you use, and can set it up on your own server. You can also get all your data from the service, and migrate it to another service (hosted by you or someone else). Futher, all of this needs to be easy, fast, and cheap enough to be feasible, and there can't be "network effects" that lock you into a specific service instance.
