thanks, was testing what replies were like with notifs locked down.

seeing as people often interact with replies to their posts in tge thread of replies that display attached, and not just through the notifications, a set of "make this post unable to be replied to" options are needed to manage that space.

i really think that an equivalent post privacy option for replies to the options for blocking notifications from non-followers/non-following is a strong tool to help pre-empt and mitigate harassment and dogpiling.

the point of this notification options is a recognition that people should be able to post publicly without having to be forced to deal with every single thing directed at them.

I have to sit down and read the activitypub/ostatus standard. I have an idea for revisions, and a separate idea for a post anti-harassment/privacy feature that makes a post unable to be replied to.

personal responsibility for personal evils, personal responsibility for societal evils, societal responsibility for societal evil, and societal responsibility for personal evils.

some bad ideas come from misbalancing and selective application of these, but the worst ideas often have such a misbalancings selective applications explicitly stated in their popular justifications.

which makes them sound illogical to people whose viewpoint has a different balance of responsibilities.

so like a week ago @shel a bunch of posts taking about how messed up it is that the education system is so focused on creating value for employers instead of developing people, and i had the hardest deja vu, 'cause i had just a few hours before skimmed a piece from R' Shamshon Raphael Hirsch where he was taking about how he was trying to combat that in his school.

trying to get a job in hashgacha 'cause i need money, but like, I'm not sure if i can take the one obvious job, the vaad might be relying on me for a daily job at another place.

i wonder how many people on here think i'm some sort of freaking zionist 'cause my name is, y'know, my actual name.

it almost feels like a once-a-week appointment with a therapist is almost too infrequent.

last year i tried spray painting my d&d dice gold, it worked out horribly. I read that vegetable oil would loosen it up, and it really looks like it's working.

this expands the fediverse (more users join to follow and interact with their fave celebs),

makes a social media experience that's usable for celebs while integrating into an actual social media platform (not some purely celeb only platform, there's still some interaction, which is a big draw).

and makes money.

this idea is so late capitalist that my mouth tastes bad.

connect the dots and what do you have?

a shiny startup that's a fediverse instance who's whole shtick is that their target demographic is celebs and they do the heavy moderation work of making the interface between the celeb accounts and the social media landscape at large both engaging for the public and human usable and harassment free for the celebs. make it a paid account instance.

so let's talk about how there's a lot more moderation opportunity and potential on a smaller federated instance, even when what needs to be moderated is what comes in to the instance from the outside.

birdsite and insta are having real issues with celebs quitting due to harassment and sheer volume of utter crap.

tons of people join those platforms to follow celebs.

i am seriously considering getting a cheap laptop without a dedicated gpu plus a nintendo switch instead of just a good laptop.

i still don't have a working laptop. (my dad lent me his old macbook air, but it's so old that i can't get anything working, partly due to apis, partly due to certificate issues.)

my conception of installation on wondows is that's it's just putting resources neatly away where they can be easily found, and it just confuses me. why bother? the osx method for most of its apps where it's just "this file is everything you need (inside of it), it'll run anywhere, but the nice neat place for it is the applications folder" just seems simpler. not very package managery, which is what is most prefer, but windows installers are even less so, and I just don't get it what am I missing
