This idea that having to pay for a vip subscription would stop bad people, have they learned nothing from tinder? It's how you recognise the scammers over there...

A photo of a beautiful woman, on tinder, not listing age or location (a pay-only feature) ==> fake.

I love that Caroline Orr (rvawonk) is now also on the fediverse! (As @Caroline Orr Bueno ). I have to quote her message on twitter about it though:


Lol everyone on Mastodon is all, “I love dogs”, “Saving the planet,” “Humanity is great” …. and then I burst in the room with “Studying hostile social manipulation and weaponized influence.”

She is of course wrong. It's cats.

I'm kidding, “studying hostile social manipulation and weaponized influence” is exactly what a lot of people here would be interested in, in my experience. I certainly am.

@Caroline Orr Bueno

Wow, I had both the Wordle and Framed in two guesses today!

Mentioning Twitter
What if @Twitter really went bankrupt? Its new owner is floating the idea. We've been sort of half dealing with the influx into the fediverse, but a full on migration of everybody is something the servers will probably not survive. There are just some things in ActivityPub that just don't scale.

Mentioning Twitter
@Hank G ☑️ I hope so, but I don't know which platform people could flock to. Tumblr? Discord? I don't see Snapchat or Tiktok covering the same use case.

I dislike that there are sometimes interviews of days ago that I didn't hear about. I understand that it's not on the fediverse, but also not on twitter or Instagram. You'd think I'd get a thrill from being the first to share news, but I'd much rather be the receiver of news... Much more relaxing. Where are the days that someone's publicist would publish an official website?

Another Jenna Ortega interview about Wednesday, on WhenInManilla. She talks about playing the cello and how she insisted it was her, and also about choreographing the dance. Sounds like Tim Burton trusted her input a lot, and why not.

Jenna Ortega interview with ExtraTV about Wednesday. I love how you get hints of how she's more involved in the process of making films and shows than is normally expected from an actor. About the fencing, about how the romance was handled.

I like the "and she knows" comment. And the "not to brag, but..." bit about the fencing... Btw, she also got praise from the cello teacher, not mentioned in this interview. Is there anything she can't do?

'Wednesday': behind the screams on TV's spookiest new spinoff

They're creepy and they're kooky – meet Jenna Ortega and the cast of Netflix's spooky new hit TV series 'Wednesday'.

Email subject: internet and tv for €1 per month!
Me: Sounds a bit too good to be true.
The offer itself: it's actually €22,95 per month.
Their rationale: the offer is for existing tv customers that already pay €21,95 per month.

We're all actors here in the fediverse (*) (**).

(*) In Activitypub, one of the protocols behind the fediverse, any addressable entity is called an actor. So your account is an actor. The server is an actor. Your separate PeerTube channels are actors. Forums and groups are actors. Unfortunately, hashtags aren't actors.

(**) In some circles social media accounts are accused of being actors suggesting there's some paid motive to some movements.

It's Wednesday, so a new Wednesday clip! An amazing look inside Nevermore Academy with some cast and crew quotes. There are some new clips with Jenna Ortega as Wednesday and I'm even more impressed; she doesn't just always excels, she exceeds. It's going to be so amazing! (23 Nov, Netflix)

They haven’t built a school that can hold me. I doubt Nevermore will be any different.


Going around correcting people who didn't ask you to is such an ugly trait. It is not 'helping people get a feel for the place'.

There may be around five million accounts on the fediverse, but four million of those are me.

uspol, midterm elections
I find it hard to parse what the election results so far mean. It's easy to put a positive spin on it, it's easy to see possibly losing control of a chamber as problematic. But with all that went on (coup, supreme court decisions), a total 100% wave of Democratic successes is the only thing that would make sense. And that's not happening, it's all still so 50-50. My conclusion is so far that the US as a whole just doesn't care about abortion rights, women, or democracy.

Just had my fourth Corona vaccination, yay! Another one next year I guess.

I suspect there are some people watching the federated timeline fire hose and then decry that people should use content warnings. One of the reasons I'd wish the federated timeline didn't even exist. To be replaced by good search, lists and just following people, filters and temporary mute buttons.

Wait until all these new people find out there's also a whole alternative to YouTube. And that because the whole of the fediverse is connected, you're already connected to that!

@Hyproviola I'm totally not taking credit for the term fediverse... It's based on the fact that there are all these different platforms 'federating' with each other, like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, Misskey, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Zap, etc.

Yeah I understood that, I meant that I've been seeing that term around #Mastodon. It seems really cool, and with the whole #Twitter thing, it might actually become mainstream.

To have 44 billion dollars that you can just burn.

And it isn't even without precedent, the freenode guy did it before.

I'm watching this show illegally: it says I have to be 16 to watch it, but I'm much older than that. Don't tell my tv!

A few days after every wave of influx comes the tone policing. I guess a few days from now we'll get the next stage: calls to implement server-allow-lists as opposed to blocking.

You don't need to delete your Twitter account to have a fediverse account. You can use both.

For healthy Twitter usage I'd suggest putting people you want to keep seeing in a list, and look at that list instead of the main timeline. Chronological, no ads, no promoted tweets.

Dafne Keen had said she was filming something big, turns out it's something called 'Star Wars'. So not bigger than His Dark Materials then, I guess.

I've got stuff to do and tv shows to watch, so obviously I was looking up how to install alternative linux desktop environments. They make it sound easy, I may try it. Like sudo apt install kubuntu-full or sudo apt install ubuntu-studio-installer, or at least something like that.

It's not as smooth switching between the two as they make it out to be, as you also need to switch the default display manager, and some icons and titlebars get changed anyway, but I can work with it.

Apparently you also have to reset the gnome theme to get the icons and titlebars back. Why installing kde would change the gnome theme I don't know.

"You'll still get the same amount of ads, they will just not be personalised."

Right, no. You'll hardly get any ads and mostly just blank spaces where the ads would go. Really people, just click these reject-all, object-all buttons and enjoy the quiet.

Wine & fries are now also on the fediverse! A bit less obscure: @Asha Rangappa is here.

I love that scene with Rhaenyra in episode two of House of the Dragon, I'm sure you know which one I mean if you've seen it. Especially how afterwards the camera lingers on the faces of 'the men of the realm' that she just has been told will never accept a female ruler, and after she's done 'that' you see them starting to think, 'maybe, after all, just maybe'. She's proving to be such a powerful character, I love it.

Starting to watch Adult Material with Hayley Squires. The tv series, not... She's a really good actress who isn't that known yet, but she leads this series. I've seen her before in impressive supporting roles in Collateral and The Miniaturist.

Me after seeing her in The Miniaturist and being very impressed with what she brings extra to the scenes though she only played a small role of the servant: let's look her up in imdb, maybe there's something else I can see her in. Hey, she was also in Collateral. I remember there was also someone in there who really made a role extra strong despite having not much lines, I think it was a manager of a pizza place. But what role did Hayley play there? Imdb: manager of pizza place.

Right from the start I'd better turn the volume down or the neighbours will have thoughts about what I'm watching... It's about a porn actress and immediately it's clear she's a force of nature.

It's developing as an interesting story and Hayley's character is really powerful.

Started watching The Sandman and House of the Dragon, finished episode one for both just now. I like my fantasy. But I also like my fantasy with strong female characters and The Sandman is lacking that so far. I see that Jenna Coleman is in it from the next episode, so I'll stick with it for now. House of the Dragon certainly delivers in that respect. But Game of Thrones it is not, but what is.

People on Mastodon, please make your posts about 1 or 2 hours before you have the thought to compensate for laggy queues. People on other software, as you were.

#FediTip for those used to mainstream sites and are now trying open source platforms (social, blogging, etc): if you upload photos from your phone, you're used to the site compressing it and stripping the metadata out of it so you don't end up exposing your location etc. Not all open source platforms do that or not by default. A lot do, but keep in mind that taking a photo at home and uploading it may expose your home address. Or taking a screenshot of a site exposes the url with potentially account information in it.

I believe Mastodon is safe in this regard, or at least mastodon.social is. Wordpress is not. Others depend on the admin.

There's an Android app on f-droid called #ImagePipe that can strip metadata from photos before sharing.

I feel for the Dutch actors that they had do the dub for The Peripheral, literally no-one will listen to it. We do subtitles.
