That the team behind the app sort of leaves it mostly in the hands of the users to construct block and mute lists (which comes with accountability issues all on its own).

I think, or I’m pretty sure that’s when I first joined Mastodon. It was back on my mastodon.social days, because, well, I’m not sure there were as many privately run instances, and this was before I launched a GNU Social instance (wish I would’ve found a way to keep it, would be awesome to still have it). But one of the first things that caught my attention wasn’t really the UI, or the diversity of people and ideas on my timeline as I gradually followed those I was interested in seeing. It was, in fact, the federated timeline that kept me captivated. #mastodon npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Posted via Nova Prime: https://nova.mkultra.monster/social%20media/2024/12/03/back-to-the-masto.html Much to probably nobody’s surprise, I am very indecisive, and I can’t figure out what I want to do. In my ActivityPub distro-hopping adventures, I’ve installed Mastodon onto a VPS, and switched back. Not because Sharkey is bad, or not to my liking. It’s great! But I can’t keep myself away from the Mastodon software.

Specifically, on the timeline of my Bluesky alt account that I’ve got setup for the off-chance, or the just-in-case situation, where I can no longer exist on my personal Mastodon instance (I love my instance so much, that losing it would be heartbreaking to me, and I don’t know if I would want to move to a new instance after all this time). What keeps coming up on the timeline? People expressing, or better yet, complaining about what they feel is wrong with Mastodon.

I’ve been lurking the Melonland forums, and searching around websites people have built, and one of the main complaints, or issues I see, is people are using Gifcities to kind of “gamble” their way into finding actual cool gifs, blinkers, badges, and banners. And, while this might be effective sometimes, I’d like to direct people interested in collecting old-net artifacts, or those who’d just like a little bit of nostalgia, to Restoritaveland. This comes complete with Geocities neighborhood navigation, and although I don’t think it has every site ever made on Geocities … it’s possible, you might just find something you’ve made, if you’re as old as me. npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts Lost in the Complex https://nova.mkultra.monster/thoughts/2024/08/25/lost-in-the-complex.html I’ve been having this issue since I started going hard on developing this website into something that’s strange, or interesting, or maybe even fun to visit. I’ve embedded a small little box to the right where you can leave messages, I made a todo list that details what I plan to do next in regards to the website, I have another box to the right that shows a live feed of my posts over on Mastodon, and I even put a little radio underneath all that which plays the ambient drone sound from the now closed city I built in Second Life. npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts mkultra.monster, Your Tri-Monthly Update https://nova.mkultra.monster/mastodon/2024/08/26/mkultra-monster-your-tri-monthly-update.html It’s time for the tri-monthly update on the Mastodon instance I run, mkultra.monster (no, it’s not hosted on this website or its server, but it is using the same domain)! Queue me trying to figure out if it really has been three months since I posted anything about my instance. npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts Tumblr to Move to Wordpress https://nova.mkultra.monster/social%20media/2024/08/29/tumblr-to-move-to-wordpress.html npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts Is Today Blog Day? https://nova.mkultra.monster/thoughts/2024/09/01/is-today-blog-day.html I shouldn’t even really ask the question, “Is today blog day?” Because the day has passed us by. It is now 11pm. So, if today was a blog day, I’ve mostly missed it, but that’s only because I was at work the whole time. Though, I did look at some sources to see if it really is, or was, blog day, on this here August 31st, and the results are … confusing? npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (Repeat) https://nova.mkultra.monster/social%20media/2024/09/02/embrace-extend-extinguish-repeat.html I’ve written on here before about Threads and how: npub1x4h5j4d8jqxarz5qgna53ls5atdwwltgmguqhnrvstfnd83udrjs85e5sh ⸸ commander ░ nova ⸸ :~$ Today on Nova Prime ... #blogging #tech #socialmedia #thoughts Social Media, Empathy, Caring About Other People? https://nova.mkultra.monster/social%20media/2024/09/04/social-media-empathy-caring-about-other-people.html I feel like this is something I want to write about here on the Nova Prime, not because it’s a joyful topic, or something that makes me happy, but because it’s an overall larger issue that I think’s been carried over from a website that’s trained a lot of people to kind of, mentally … disregard others, at all expense, for their own personal gain, or comfort. Am I saying that Twitter has accidentally spawned masses of narcissists? Not really. I don’t think a website and its use for over a decade can alter someone’s brain chemistry.
