@wjmaggos @mondoweiss Whereas:Website bbc.co.ukIP Address :151.101.0.81151.101.128.81151.101.192.81151.101.64.81Location:USAHosting/Owner:FastlySo they are treating the social site as a completely separate entity?

@wjmaggos @mondoweiss Yeah that is true.Your main point still holds; even when they build the site the individual journos are not coming.

@wjmaggos @conceptualjames It's really interesting to see the people who really look forward. #Scientists are voting with their feet.By and large - and I know this is harsh - #journalists are just moaning and pining for how things used to be

@wjmaggos @conceptualjames Maybe, but I'm willing to bet the next thing will be wanting to enforce longer retention times.Once the #media can #search they'll suddenly realise they can find anything of older than two weeks for some users and that will be the next 'issue'

@orbitalmartian The answer is very rarely. If i've posted some information I want to edit or add to later, I'll favourite my post temporarily to remind me.I use favourites as temporary bookmarks, as well as letting someone know I've read their post. I use bookmarks as longer term markers.

@apps I confess I don't have a strong #opinion on this but that seems to affect the least people adversely. Let's call it the #utilitarian choice 😀

@mori @feditips @Gargron Not all clients do that to be fair and it's not much to do with Gargron.You need a client that follows threads across instances. The two I use do this; #senji on desktop and @apps on Android.I've more or less stopped using #ios but #metatext used to do the job well when I left the Apple cart.

@itnewsbot I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say this won't work. I seriously doubt #Hamas are using tumblers.If they're using #bitcoin, why wouldn't they just send encrypted paper wallets in the post?Why would they waste #money on a tumbler? This is just a #political #gimmick#fraud #finance #Anonymous

@Sheril I wonder how this has changed over time? When I went to college in the late seventies, a slight majority of the team were women and so was the principal.Have things actually got worse or is this a UK US difference?

@stefano At this early stage in the #fediverse it probably doesn't matter.But if this thing really grows it's probably fairer to admins to keep heavy graphics on the sites where the admins signed up for that.Right now almost any sizeable server should be fine with the bandwidth requirements of hosting graphics.

@wjmaggos If we had a tardis I think we should have called them providers, because they're actually more like email providers that any other analogue.Having said that we've gone too far down the road or looking at them like places, which I understand for jurisdictional reasons.I think services, servers or instances is fine. It would be better if it was consistent, but I don't see any intrinsic reason to choose one option.

@stefano Funny you should mention that. I'm seriously thinking of getting a #fairphone and everyone is asking me… … when everyone uses #Google or #Apple.I think the need is more pressing to move from these walled gardens, but it's also more effort which is why it's taking me longer.

@stefano @bamboombibbitybop I'm getting closer to the idea as time goes on. I'll get there.I suppose most of the gaps can be filled with alternative app stores, but I'm guessing you miss maps?

@bamboombibbitybop @stefano Now that is a very useful thing to know. I was assuming I'd have to get used to #openstreetmap
