deep breath
To all the folks bemoaning what they see as the sorry state of #Mastodon:
If you think the #Bluesky
algorithmic crack pipe is going to be so much better because it's cherry flavored and they have protocols, just GO THERE and enjoy yourselves.
Otherwise? Stay, buck up, and help us build something better, because this is an experiment in decentralized social networking devoid of profit motive that's worth fighting for.
Thank you.
@onepict I had no idea RFC1984 was a thing! Thank you!
... I LOVE IT! 
(Because if I have to hear one more law enforcement adjacent person talk about the 'going dark problem' as if it was a thing that could be solved if only we tech people would Be Reasonable I may well have a personal protein spill. 
)
@jimsalter You get mad props from me for working to fix the system from the inside.
As I've said several times elsewhere, getting him to step down would be a kindness to him whether he sees it that way or not, and one giant step towards removing a god awful blemish on the face of an organization that's done the technology sector an awful lot of good over the years.
@simon Love your blog and super admire your work!
Just wanted to say that I take a bit of an issue with DHH's opinion on passkeys.
His hot take is in fact a bit stale. Now, in addition to the platform lock-in option, you can choose a platform independent third party password manager like 1Password or even BitWarden and access your passkeys on all your devices and platforms!
I think it's an important distinction because I see passkeys as a good solution to the myriad problems with passwords for auth.
I have a question for my #blind fedi peeps:
I've heard from some people that having unicode/emoji as part of your nickname is SUPER annoying to folks with screen readers.
I can imagine a whole string being super note cute:
"Feoh heart bomb star peace-sign namaste poop emoji"
But what about a couple like :python: :neovim:
Still super obnoxious? Appreciate the feedback and I absolutely do not NEED these but very much want them
