when I look at mastodon, no matter how much I tune the filter, 20-40% of the feed is tech posts I don’t understand

@inquiline @ralfmaximus @impermanen_ @seachanger i think we can do better but i've been extremely surprised to find that most techies on here are actively not interested in building local power. the non-tech people on here have been much more receptive. this is to your point that self-proclaimed FLOSS forms a highly insular group https://circumstances.run/@hipsterelectron/112537399927201661

@seachanger oh gee i sure wish we could have multiple streams we could post to without having to make multiple accounts

@Moss @inquiline @seachanger I have say that as a person who works in computers, I feel much the same way except I know what all those things listed in their bios are (and sometimes wish I didn’t)
I’ll see if I can do better at cwing my work posts.

@nein09 @Moss @inquiline you know tagging them with a unique term would be more functional, because then we could just filter them. Idk if cw is really helpful?

@nein09 @inquiline @Moss was trying to think of a short thing that’s easy to add and doesn’t take up character limit

@Moss @seachanger @inquiline oh yeah! I tend towards the pithy side so I don’t worry much about that angle.

@nein09 @seachanger @inquiline All of us are being a little pithy in this thread

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] ooof of course it does. I have to say, the whole "not calling them posts/tweets/notes" thing is a weirdly puritanical style hangup I have and I just can't bring myself to ever use that term. I can't even fucking type it, my brain is goddamn ridiculous, but there it is.
Which is to say, if I use another one, would that also be okay?
#techPosters ?
