@dansup Thanks, I seem to be awaiting confirmation

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@dansup so how does its algo work?

[d4v@mastodon.social]

@dansup tried to signup, it's been a day and still did not get any email and I can't log-in. When trying to register again, it says username is already taken. Wtf?

[nickht@mastodon.social]

@dansup this will be brilliant

[bogdanmarius_ursan@mastodon.social]

@dansup Sounds like nice project I hope people find it useful

[benny@kirche.social]

@nf3xn @dansup why algo? Did they say they use one?

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@benny @nf3xn @dansup Of course they do.

(Hint: SELECT… ORDER BY date_posted; uses an algorithm. Even without ORDER BY it uses an algorithm because database page layout is determined by an algorithm.)

[benny@kirche.social]

@nik @nf3xn @dansup you are right, but I doubt this is what was meant

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@benny @nf3xn @dansup I think "it displays newest posts first" would be a valid answer to the question and one of the answers a person asking it can expect.

[yanir_davidzada@mastodon.social]

@dansup AWOSMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[nf3xn@mastodon.social]

@nik @benny @dansup That you thought injecting this useless piece of mansplaining was useful or relevant.

[nik@toot.teckids.org]

@nf3xn @benny Have you considered not using social media, or a comnunication platform in general, if you can't stand people exchanging views, knowledge or information?

[amrabdelkhalek@mastodon.social]

@dansup I have a problem signing up. It doesn't send the verification email.

[zeruch@mastodon.social]

@dansup when I try to sign up it has a non-changeable email address of [email protected] which seems...odd, for a onboarding workflow.
