Wow, my favorite Birdsite client, Twidere, now supports Mastodon. Excellent! https://twitter.com/TwidereProject/status/855861538405482496 @Gargron
okay, but how could a theoretical cat that is not me ever abandon a torrent of a good thing that is constantly at 1-ish seeds, even if this theoretical cat had already seeded it for a very long time and very good percentage
should the theoretical cat steel its tiny heart, or just keep being a good valuable member of society

@antifahnen yes, @Jules and I were discussing this and we weren't quite sure if the questions are biased to give this result unless like 100% fasc, or very filtery filterbubble, or (most likely) … both. :D
also, yes, some questions are very clearly from a US context, i had to look things up and was wondering how some questions made it in there.
hello all!
i have a new glitchy project up and running to tell you about!
here's the deal:
i set up another mastodon instance and it lives at https://dev.glitch.social
and it is running a fork of mastodon found at https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon
if i think you're trustworthy, i'll give you write access
for now i will be the only one who can deploy the changes to the server, but i'd like to change that pretty quick
anyway hit me with your thoughts, and feel free to boost!
follow up to my last (announcement) toot
my main motivation for this project (https://dev.glitch.social and the glitch-soc/mastodon fork) is to create an environment for working on AND USING features that don't exist/aren't prioritized in the original project
some of my interests:
private (followers only) toot federation
user level domain blocking
local instance only tooting
public timeline removal
and generally anything that gives users and admins more control over how the software is used
@Stoori yes, that was how i pictured it, too. using librarything for recommendations, and goodreads for community.
@Stoori yes, it can feel a bit lonely there. I tried to keep both in sync for a while, but importing Goodreads data to Librarything didn't always work as I expected, so I stopped at some point. Maybe I should try it the other way around.
@jussi aww, that belly floof! wonderful
even better of course, putting your own cute stickers on top. but this shy cat understands that even if theoretically safe situation, sometimes a cat can only claw at things and then go hide again and hope nobody saw 🐱
Honestly I'm all for also tearing down their slogans, not only their urls, but you have to start somewhere #lastboost
@jussi looks like giraffe!cat has a looong neck *-*
@jollysea TRÖRÖ!
@Stoori (in some places, automatic and member recommendations are separated, like in the screenshot, in others they are mixed, i think. it is also possible to rate automatic recommendations.) https://computerfairi.es/media/ommZ9UqJQq244Gg7qzs
Oh how I would love to have a website which could recommend me #books — and whose recommendations would actually work!
I've been using #Goodreads for years, but one of the features I would most love there is one of the worst: recommendations. They just don't work. They're total bullshit, based on commercial ends more than on artistic attributes of books.
I want working recommendations. Do you know where to get them? And algorithmically, so that they won't run out.
