@codinghorror@infosec.exchange hey Jeff, to be fair I think @pluralistic@mamot.fr has been doing the best with the tooling available at the time.We're at a place now where that isn't the case, and a different software could be used (like a truly federated forum!!) or at minimum just a server that sends more than 500 characters at a time.

@julian @codinghorror @pluralistic can't the object type "article" be used instead of the object type "note"? isn't that what ghost and wordpress are doing to make writing be AP native?https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#object-types

@codinghorror Here is a detailed explanation of how and why I use Mastodon, how to follow me and other thread posters by configuring your own filters, where to get my material on other services or in machine readable form, Etc. if you don't like threads, I encourage you to unfollow me and get my work in some other way. https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/16/how-to-make-the-least-worst-mastodon-threads/

@codinghorror I love constructive feedback."Constructive feedback" isn't "I would prefer that you do things in a different way because that is my preference," however.I'm fully aware that other people have preferences that are different from mine.That's why I do 2-3/hours per day of unpaid administrative work to ensure that everything I post is available in other formats (including machine-readable ones) under the most permissive CC license.

@codinghorror As I've said here before, I:* post to scratch my itch, and* believe foursquare in your right to both read and post in ways that scratch your itch, and* provide the legal and technological means for you to scratch your itch with my posts, but* I draw the line at not scratching my itch in order to scratch yours.

@pluralistic @codinghorror I've come to believe some folks around here just find you way too itchy. 😂

@pluralistic @jorgecandeias @codinghorror I really don't get his problem. I almost *never* read blogs anymore but I love coming across one of your threads and then choosing to read it or skip it. Actually, I dont think I've ever gone to the long-form link you provide, and just stick to my phones mastodon client.And... "considered blogging?" Is he that clueless?

@codinghorror If you don't like my feed, but you want to see the things in it that are not threads, why wouldn't you write a bot that ingests my feed, discards the threads, and republishes the rest? The feed is both labeled *and* licensed to permit this.Surely this is as valid a response to "I have different preference from you" as "therefore you should work in a way I prefer, rather than the way you prefer."

@pluralistic @jorgecandeias @codinghorror actually that might be a key point. Gen-Z is heavily phone-centric, and let's not even with Gen-alpha... My 20-something's laptop goes almost complelty untouched in favor of his phone.People who don't account for changes in information consumption are just dinosaurs

@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias I actually dressed up this way for Halloween that year and tied a helium balloon to my belt as part of the costume. When I arrived at the party, dozens of people looked at me in confusion and then one guy at the back of the room shouted, "Hah! You're Cory Doctorow!" We became the best of friends instantly. #TrueStory

@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias And that balloon is clearly wrapped around my torso, not tied to my belt. Memory is a funny, fuzzy thing!
