@matslats That's unfortunate. If you'd like to report this issue, I can ask around and see if anyone knows what happened and who you can contact in the future for issues like this.

@matslats That has been a hard question for me to find the answer to. It’s believed, I think, that Nathan has been autopaying for years for the server resources. But, we have some people in the committees that may be able to answer some further questions.

@matslats We have working groups or committees. I believe there is a tech one. I don’t really know much about them. The good @flancian recently joined one of them, and may be able to provide some information. Brother Francia, do you know much about the layouts of the committees?

@flancian Nice! Well, the feature request I have is for users to be able to do allow and block lists of external servers on the federated timeline. I thought I read that was available a few times, but I don’t see where it would be. I just see how to filter terms. @matslats

@flancian The UI option in settings, though now that you ask, it might be easier to be able to do it through the federated timeline and have that saved in settings. I rarely use Mastodon, since this feature does not exist. @matslats (+)

@flancian I have accounts on multiple servers, as I’d like to see the local timelines in each one of them, but it’s not practical to switch through each account. It would be good to have a global timeline of just those servers. The federated timeline as is now, where server admins decide what other servers are displayed there is not worth viewing, IMO. @matslats

@flancian Really, what’s it’s about is just being able to curate your federated timeline. If we could display in user settings a list of all the server instances that our instance’s administrator permits to be on our federated timeline, and then have user-selectable checkboxes next to those we would like to view, that would be ideal. @matslats

@edsu @akshay @datatitian @neil @matslats @flancian Yeah, I believe people have made a request a few times, in order to have a similar functionality but implemented by users being able to create groups of instances that would be in their Local timeline or a new Groups timeline. And I think that was not implemented for technical reasons. I’ve not pitched this alternative, as I felt it could get lumped in with the other one as already conceptually declined. Perhaps, I should though.

@strypey That's a tragicomedy thread in how he goes so quickly from saying that people should not act so defensively about criticisms of the UX here and how no one is doing the developers any favors by acting defensively, for devs need to hear about user experiences, to where he then tells people to fuck off and that they should block him when they point out how hostile he is because he doesn't want to hear it. @mattblaze

@strypey I only remember one Elastica song from like, I guess 1995 - the one that includes the lyrics "A connection was made." I guess it was recommended to me a few weeks ago on YouTube, or I was just curious and looked it up.

@grammargirl Hi Mignon. I understand what to read at a given grade level means technically but not functionally. We’re all in the comments writing at that level, no?, and yet we all understand each other and manage to communicate as sufficiently as we wish for the topic, it seems.

@maco That’s very discouraging. I’ve just assumed that I write at a very basic level, and that most anyone - relatively half way through puberty and fluent in English - could understand me. @grammargirl

@strypey She and the heads have been butchering the words democracy and decentralization. The software is centralized in the hands of a small core set of owners, who in turn decide policy amongst themselves. And she does not support democratic decision-making. The main joy she expresses in her article was about how she gets to control everything top-down and only lets people that pony up money to participate.She’s as into democracy as any third rate small business owner is.

@futurebird A few months back, I heard a podcast conversation where people pointed out how unscientific Jonathan Haidt was in his claims about social media destroying kids. Wish I could remember where it was. @grammargirl

@futurebird Speaking of jerks in Egyptian mythology, if you ever run into Horus, and he gives you some lettuce, I recommend telling him that you already ate. NSFW if googled.
