the #hellthread on bluesky is like well, every now and then blue skies get cloudy and this is #acidrain and your eyes are burning

When @ned wakes up he's gonna need to spray for fedi-haints. #hellthread

Note to self (and possibly also to others 🤣 ): For future #FF posts, whatever you do, do NOT accidentally "reply to all," or else you and everyone else in your near-earth orbit will quite possibly be trapped in a neverending hellthread.😜 If this happens, be sure to immediately hit the "Delete & redraft" button and remove everyone else who isn't a direct recipient.😆

@Gargron

Wow!

Talk about a #hellthread, lolz...

Anyway, the #Quote_Post feature isn't anything that you can do something about:

1.) People on all of the other platforms will still have it and there's nothing that a mastodon user account can do to stop it - they will only be able to observe it occurring despite what they think about it.

Those in favor of you deploying the feature will migrate their accounts and followers to those other platforms if you don't roll it out.

Those against the feature will find their mastodon friends moving on to other Fediverse servers that are not mastodon, and still only be able to merely complain about it happening across the entire #Fediverse.

2.) Anyone, even on a mastodon server, can already take advantage of simply pasting the link of someone else's post into their own fresh post - no opting out, no configuring that only their friends can quote post them. No control whatsoever.

You have a choice, albeit, not an enviable one. You can either implement the feature, or watch as your mastodon platform continues to hemorrhage users to the other more capable, and feature complete Fediverse server platforms.

Most other platforms aren't resource hogs either, and require low minimum hardware requirements for #home and #smallweb deployments, even performing exceedingly well on #Raspberry_Pi computers on their home LANs.

To remain relevant over the next year and s half, with all of the phenomenal development elsewhere in the Fediverse with federating groups and chat and marketplaces, etc., It's probably not a good idea to continue to allow mastodon to atrophe from having fallen so far behind already and suffering from bit rot.

Even almost as soon as they arrive, people are leaving in mass numbers for the other Fediverse platforms as soon as they discover that mastodon is not the Fediverse, but rather, just one amongst many others that are far more capable and feature complete platforms for engaging with their friends and loved ones across the entire Fediverse.

I hope that helps!

#hellthread

@thor I know of a guy ( @rootbsd ) who can set you straight. #hellthread #lol #bsd

@Woulds

This may require a #hellthread.

@Niemand @saxnot this must be turned into a #HellThread or else I will be mildly outraged

Resulta que l'API de #Pleroma permet, des d'el 2019, mencionar tot un llistat d'usuaris fent un POST contra el "endpoint" /api/v1/statuses però Pleroma-FE, que és el front-end o interfície de Pleroma, no el fa servir. Els que van fer spam ahir sí que el van fer servir.
En la darrera versió estable de Pleroma, la v2.4.3, veig que es pot afegir un #MRF que es diu #HellthreadPolicy (us sona "#hellthread?), que permet bloquejar missatges amb excessives mencions (el que va passar ahir).

@drymer al meu entendre els "admins" van fer-ho expressament, sabien quin seria el resultat (usuaris emprenyats i sorpresos) i per això van posar la etiqueta #hellthread.
Per mí no és un ús legitim del programari, programari que no ès estàndard com ve dius sinó modificat sí o sí (tot i rebre moltes crítiques el desenvolupador que va fer-ho mentre feia proves de funcionament, va tirar-ho endavant)

I am suggesting, given the yellow video theory, someone needs to, let me find it... where's my electron microscope yougut dumbass comment from the other night in this #hellthread about ucsd and pissing contests with microscopes...

#SuperTangent #HellThread #ThreadBuster

Cool.. 😂 We got religion involved now.

BTW, this is the #HellThread to comment along with as you watch https://youtu.be/27CBStMJyYE

#HellThread #BreakTheNarrative #BreakTheTimeline

Just watch the video as you read this thread, and add comments, fuck the timeline... this is the comment thread for that video...

I don't care if you see this 20 years from now, leave a comment, someone will find it... If I'm around, I'll still watch it, and admit my mistakes understanding it..
