Oldschool fediverse phrases, from about 10y ago:
- TZAG: Time Zone Appropriate Greeting (preferred over "good morning")
- TZAF: Time Zone Appropriate Farewell
- #contextpatrol : when someone posted a response which wasn't linked to the original conversation, someone might link the conversation with #contextpatrol (the old StatusNet (ie, GNU Social) interface made not doing this accidentally easily)
- #vaguejokes : an obscure joke that was not really worth or more fun unexplained
Something I also miss: threaded conversations were the norm. Yes, in microblogging! Some of the most intense and interesting conversations about free software philosophy and licensing happened in threads that shot way off to the edge of the page
@cwebber mastodon conversations *are* threaded. you may mean nested?
@cwebber i get your point but dude, email is *fifty years old*
@nightpool sounds like it had a lot of time to establish some terms, then! ;)
@cwebber @nightpool activitypub is just email over json anyway
@nightpool per oldschool email and etc logo, threaded means nested, as opposed to flat clients. As in, capable of representing the thread's actual underlying structure visually.
