addressing singlets as a plural system 

Hey, listen, we're not one to apply labels you didn't opt into yourself, and we're not one to gatekeep. You can be a system if you want. No one else gets to tell you whether you are or you aren't. But dangit, y'all make it really hard for us not to question whether singlets are even real.

@minego I see no reason to limit it as long as you're within the character limit. As such, I have chosen the largest option.

@BenPaddon I can't remember the name but I'm sure I've seen one where you edit the code of in-game objects.

@BenPaddon I think it has, but it'd still be an interesting project. Not that I'd have any time for such a thing.

You ever get excited because you just changed up your routine and you want to see how it plays out? No? Just us?

To accelerate 2023 planning each manager will receive 9 copies of "The Mythical Man Month"

@SpriteGuard I think it's because hashtag searches only pull from your federated feed, which is the local feed plus posts/boosts from anyone followed by anyone on your instance.

politics, ranting 

@minego Not boosting only because (thankfully) no one I'm following is doing this.

@BenPaddon So, uh..... that phrase is really weird to us now that we know we're a system. Who owns their head to charge rent for it? How would they ever evict their headmates? Are they really expected to each have their own separate incomes and checking accounts?
I do not envy any system that works that way.

@Sophie Fair, sorry. I think partial control is something different anyway.
Blocking memories sounds like a useful ability to have, but what's lacking is cooperation, consent, and trust.

@Sophie Sounds like your system has a gatekeeper. Not that ours has ever done that to us. That we know of.

@minego That was supposed to say "movielens". It's a movie recommendation engine.

@minego I don't think I've seen Field of Dreams and don't really remember Batman, but movie thinks I'll prefer Batman by 0.4 stars.

@Scmbradley @emilygorcenski Requiring all admins to accept some kind of centralized moderation would be against the spirit of it (and I'd guess not technically possible), but I think we will have to allow for sharing that effort in some way if we want this to scale.

@pikhq As a system with the ability to switch between headmates that are affected by autism in differing amounts, we think this would be very useful. /genuine
