@aud @misty @archenoth "no I'm not making a slippery slope argument. let me tell you about something from my time period called React"

@[email protected] It just made me think of all the unread email anxiety I get and I'm like, why the fuck are we replicating this idea for everything? For e-mail, with the way it's used, it does make some sense; lots of little short communiques or one off messages that you may need to keep track of.But it kind of starts to make less sense outside of that context. Even outside of less personal email, it doesn't make sense; a long correspondence with a friend, for instance. I don't really care about 'read' or 'unread' in that context...

@misty it doesn't matter who is biggest once you're past a certain size. Anything past a million users, who cares? I'm not interacting with more than a thousand people in any substantive way.

Actually, it's kinda funny that right now it's possible to migrate a Mastodon account's post history to Bluesky, timestamps intact, but not possible to do it on Mastodon itself…

@misty I used to work for the US government, our system considered Canada and Mexico to be US states, it's okay

@misty I was following this story in shocked disbelief while KHOU was breaking it. Fantastic local journalism. (And a great example of why communities need local journalism.) Glad to see them winning awards for it.
