“Most website owners have no idea adding a third-party script will impact their site performance, their customer and their revenue” – @grigs at #perfnow

Tag managers should definitely collect and expose performance data (e.g. INP/LoAF) to put pressure on 3Ps.

Great question at #perfnow re: INP / blocking JavaScript impact on announcements from Assistive Technology that something is happening…

@macdonst I haven’t, their cake looks amazing thanks for the recommendation!

@benschwarz @winterschon does she have some niche moderation requirements because if not, why can’t she just use mastodon.social?

@mavit go with a big generic one (e.g. mastodon.social) or, if you want to identify as part of a community, search for the most appropriate and (if you care to) read over their moderation policies that are publicly visible. Done.

@benschwarz @winterschon anyway, all I’m saying is it literally takes 60 seconds to explain to non-techies: “it works like email: you choose where your profile lives, which forms part of your username, but you can interact with anyone. If you’re not fussy, use one of the big generic instances, otherwise find one in your industry/hobby area, and (if you care to) have a quick read their policies”… anyone who cares for the latter would similarly need to read up on BSky/Threads/X’s policies anyway.

@benschwarz @winterschon ‘what if your server admin is an asshole?’ still applies to choosing any other social network, the choice is just limited to Musk/Zuckerberg/Dorsey.

@benschwarz ah ok, I thought you meant something different to choosing an instance.

Amsterdam, you’re such a vibe.

This lil’ fella eyeing up my dutch chippies

@benschwarz fair that there’s a lack of Big Tech instances but when email was gaining mass adoption, servers were also run by fairly unknown entities.

I’m not sure what you mean about vanity URL?

I’m not saying it’s perfect (and I’m also on Bluesky now like almost everyone else I know) but I find the ‘choosing an instance is a barrier to Mastodon adoption’ argument bizarre given everyone who has a personal email account has had to make the exact same decision at least once before ‍️

Looking forward to be volunteering on the #webperf help desk at @perfnowconf come say hi if you're about! (I'm there 16:25 - 16:45 on Friday) #perfnow

@fossheim I feel like we need a “anti-‘image image image image image’ image club” t-shirt.

@simevidas @knowler @seaotta less of an ‘uncanny valley’ where the page is visible but uninteractive.

I use <dialog> prolifically and already building with Invoker Commands (with the polyfill) in anticipation of support landing.

@simevidas @seaotta ‍️ I should have remembered it’s content-visibility not display. Good job @knowler stepped in.

@nitecoder perfect Maillard crust!
