Woops, I've tried to add an image with a CW, attaching the image has erased the CW and after I've added it again of course, it's been published without CW, so it means a selfie with eye contact in the local TL
Further curiosity: what happens if I (try to) attach an (inxonsequential) audio file?
I voted in the New York State primary election this morning.
If picture attachment works, you should see photographic evidence below....
Since picture attachment does appear to work I thought I'd show your three photos of the Blue Heron my wife and I saw in Inwood Hill Park, which we visited after voting this morning....

I like the Bonfire UX a lot. Clean and snappy! Congrats to those responsible.
I believe progress is getting rid of the French State, like, are you still French?? Have you heard about the internet???
@af yeah, I found so many new, interesting artists I would otherwise never have heard of through resonate! not having any mainstream stuff on it can be real blessing.
...when it's not busy also being a curse, anyway. :^)
Not having mainstream stuff isn't such a problem IMHO, this is why we have NewPipe
Since I'm on Resonate:
"WTF I love boombap hiphop now"
"WTF I love hauntology dream ambient postrock now"
"WTF I love avant-garde orchestral metal now"
I'm exaggerating a bit but after having second-hand listened to top 50 crap for years I… love hiphop?? Like Mundy really can be compared to GY!BE??

I encountered this issue while using Bonfire:
after filling out the Location or Website fields, trying to set them back to empty (by leaving their inputs empty on the settings page) fails, throwing up the following error:
The function scrub_change/4 in module Elixir.EctoSparkles.SanitiseStrings didn't receive data in a format it can recognise

oh my gosh, I've been hoping for a modular activitypub platform for like, forever!! I'm so glad to know this is a thing, it looks so cool jksdflkjfdgjh

Discovered Mundy and Contemplator on #resonatecoop. They're sincere, putting a lot of themselves in these albums, the composition and execution just blend together so well. Resonate also does pay the artists and is cheaper than corporate equivalents. #stream2own
Anyway: I like to take as much room as I need for content warnings, precising their scope, limits, and so on. They’re as valuable as the message itself, knowing that you can write about sensitive contents and respect other people’s boundaries.
I rarely just write "CW politics", but rather "CW impressions on private media (M6) reactions after the French 2022 legislative elections results".
Oh and I’ve just thought about it, but maybe if a Twitter thread starts with a one-line tweet beginning with "CW: ", then this content warning could be applied to the entire Mastodon thread. Just an idea, I’m not quite sure about it.
Mastodon, Bonfire, Pleroma, and so on.
Forgot to say that, but a Facebook wall is essentially a multiple-choices form nudging its users to incite ad-hoc researchers to ask more questions.
Of course, it would be ideal if "researchers" posted a caricatural, ideal-typical representation of their own beliefs, to make it easier for "respondants" to decide whether they will tell the software someone’s beliefs makes them angry, sad, happy, etc.
Kinda creepy.

Like, on Twitter you can write "Twitter is toxic."
On the Fedi, or on Gemini, you can write "Social media provide a web UI and mobile apps to be ubiquitous and integrate their hidden social structures to our social construction of the sovereign reality of our ordinary life, i.e. (in this context) to our psychological incorporation of the social. This to change more efficiently the way we think, to erode our ability to criticize them, in thought or publicly, and thus to have more sway on our habits. Furthermore, Twitter as every social media profiles its users and uses their neuroses (fear of death, tribalism) to increase a feeling of danger and their fear of missing out ; this production of neuroses being a by-product of the interface itself and of users competing with everyone else to get their own attention (e.g. with QRTs and online harassment), they will try to foster these neuroses with their loved ones without even realizing it."
Slightly clearer, more convincing, and longer, isn’t it?
Talking about toxicity in a social context is literally a meme derived from these carefully studied social media interfaces. They can literally put billions in psychological or social applied/fundamental research and even conduct their own experiments, not even counting the constant user profiling here.
Profiling meaning, of course, using the user metadata (likes, favs, retweets, etc.) to build social graphs and user profiles, to optimize the user interfaces towards certain targets. This is literally sociology: this specific UI element is meant for socially/psychologically vulnerable users, this other one to keep influencers on board, and so forth.

And honestly I hate Twitter and every characters limit because they either aim at fighting spam or at distracting us from our frustration towards the platform itself, the characters limit acts as a frustration magnet, among other things.

But we can do better, e.g. if the first line of a tweet begins with "CW: " it should be interpreted as a CW field on the Fedi (the second line being the beginning of the body field).
Just an idea I’d like to see gain interest.

I can’t believe it took me so long to realize that be-directional Twitter/Fedi bridges does lower switching costs and is aggressive interoperability
