@Wolven@ourislandgeorgia.net https://www.12news.com/article/news/politics/police-remove-pro-palestinian-protesters-from-asu/75-7aef3345-782e-47ee-bf17-104ffe86784bTL;DR: 80% of Arizona State University "student" protesters... weren't students.Clean up your mess. Organize yourselves, children. This ain't organization. This is pathetic fucking weak sauce self-entitled so badly that you have to be self-entitled not to fucking SEE it.

Periodic reminder and #feditip...Due to the way the #fediverse works for pretty much all apps, like #mastodon, your feeds have one simple algorithm: first-in, first-out (FIFO). The only fediverse-connected app not using FIFO right now, that I know of, is Threads.That means that the usual rules don't apply. If you want a robust feed, just follow pretty much anyone, randomly, if someone you already followed boosted them into your feed.Follow generously.When you boost, it keeps the toot alive. Most toots die on the vine, because it's not all one big pool of users, where discovery is as simple as doomscrolling until you agree. Plus, there's no algorithm, other than FIFO.So also boost generously. This is far more real-time than Twitter or Facebook. You're pretty much seeing posts that were just posted, or have genuinely viral staying power, because people keep boosting them.

@chrismessina@mastodon.xyz Good. Now the walled garden's gates are open in both directions.I know some folks on the non-Meta #Fediverse fear some sort of invasion, but I'm not one of 'em.I think the distributed model has achieved sufficient network effect that we're looking at a sustained period of leakage from Threads to independent instances running FOSS software.My prediction is that, long-term, opening the Walled Garden will only help the independent Fediverse eventually gain total and absolute, protocol-level dominance of social media. 8-10 years is my guess, before ActivityPub is the SMTP for social software. The HTTP. Backbone.It just makes me want to write a Star Trek LCARS interface for #Sharkey.

@djc@fosstodon.org @interfluidity@zirk.us Question: in your fantastic Bernie-Bros-level imaginary scenario:Why wouldn't Harris be the candidate?She's been the fuckin' VPOTUS for 4 years. Which other Democrat has more experience?Next point: Biden and Harris poll better against Trump than any other comer. Why even ditch Biden when he's got Harris' spine and the best polling?

@interfluidity@zirk.us @djc@fosstodon.org OK. I read it. It rambles more than John McCain.The point is that the hair-on-fire hand-wringing is just typical spineless left-of-center panic.And it's embarrassing. Grow a fuckin spine.That's why I keep emphasizing VP Harris. She has a spine. Biden does, too, but he is, as everyone knows, pretty old. You want young blood?Nobody better than VP Harris.Best way to ensure Kamala Harris -- and not Trump -- has the best chance at succession to the Presidency?Vote for President Joe Biden. That's how you keep Harris in power. That's how you prep her for the Presidency in 2028. You give her another 4 years of executive experience at the federal level.Let's start playing the long game, people. Our opponents are.
