Are the rules of Mastodon called Mastodo and Mastodon't ?

@Elizafox as a person working with data intelligence, machine learning and deep learning, I can say that we are just dealing with the tip of the iceberg. As more and more architectures and tools get commoditized, we see them applied to many problems that were considered unsolvable before and I can see many many fields where this change has just began. For instance I'm working on one of the many greenfields opened in the recent years and we just struck the crust

@erinT Record it.


There, now you have a hobby.

@xvilo Oh, its just a fad that started about eleven years ago.


No body really uses it any more. Its not that important.

@CobaltVelvet Good post. Making the case for the confederation.


It is worth noting that a federation has mandatory inclusion. You cant leave.The united states is a good example of this.


A confederation does allow "states", in our case instances, to enter and leave at will.


What we really want is the confediverse.

Mastodon politics, safe spaces, and breaking the federation for fun and profit.

@tajac I am a fan of mastonaughts.


It is worth noting that bird-site has the same problem, still unsolved...

@Fidgetcetera Ouch, that hurts.


I was only trying to help. Everyone missteps sometimes.

@Fidgetcetera The web client is, unfortunately, not accurate. Any given instance can only track the boost /on that given instance/.


Boosts on other instances do not require communication with the server of origin, and so are very hard to track.


By design, it is almost impossible to track, from the server of origin, where and how toots propagate to.


The server or origin is only in charge of the initial dispatch.


Assume there was boosting somewhere.

@denjin @denjin I think you just singlehandedly cleared up my federated timeline.


I mean... how many... what did you do?

@Fidgetcetera It is very simple. Let me help to explain. A toot must ether:


A). Be from someone on your instance,


B). Be from someone who your instance is monitoring, because someone on your instance follows them,


or C). be boosted by someone that your instance is monitoring.


Those are the only ways. Sometimes, toots have inaccurate information, because of the nature of the distributed system. It can look like they where not boosted.

@Elizafox Consumables perhaps.


Have you taken a look at matching learning recently?

I have moved to a more square, white emoto-semicolon-ocon. Hopefully it is not to off-putting.


I always find it very disconcerting when people change their account photos. What can I say. I am only human...

@dredmorbius I get the feeling you are sounding the dooms day trumpets because you are on the fourth largest instance.


When we sort out account migration, you will be able to move. Less people in an instance usually equates to higher specialization of that instance.


Just going to leave this link here, if you want to help speed development. github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

@IgorHawks Congratulations. Approximately .3% of all mastodon users are following you.


To give you some context, that is roughly three times the ratio of total mastodon users to total twitter users.
