In reply to @atomicpoet.
@atomicpoet @fediversenews I think we should adopt something that identifies those on Mastodon as part of the fediverse as a whole, not necessarily something specific to Mastodon itself.
Andy (Mastodon)@DavidGoldfield I think this is a cool platform! I just wish that it was easier for casual users of computers to sign up. Right now you’re overwhelmed with choice with all the instances etc, which I think is confusing a lot of people.
@remixman @DavidGoldfield I don't see how signing up for Mastodon is any different or difficult than signing up for email.
@bruce_toews@stranger.social Hi, Bruce, and may your day be a good one!
@frog67 @bruce_toews Yes Bruce, have an excellent day!
I kinda hate activitypub things that give a link and nothing else. @amanda@arush.io is a good example of this. When i see a post from that account its just a bare link. No clickable link card, no idea what its about, etc. I think its likely wordpress or something doing it but i skip all those posts and only pay attention to the @arush@indieweb.social account.
From the “I Should RTFM More Carefully” Dept.:
I screwed up the redirects on my end, so I effectively had them in twice, which, well, caused everything to loop back on itself.
I may change the identifier, but after this point, I have complete control over how things look and what gets published, (favorites, replies and boosts show up correctly while I can still publish my reads and other non-fediverse stuff without it going to the fediverse as just a link).
Thanks for letting me know about the problem, because I then had to sit down and figure out what was going on and I caught the mistake.
