The day is closing here in the UK and I have a question for you, #Fediverse citizens.

Would anybody here share their experience with Tor?

This is a follow up on my quest for alternative browsers ( https://mastodon.design/@alx/114788807278904234 )

Thank you all in advance!

Many people don't know it yet: You don't need #link shorteners on Mastodon: https://fedi.tips/you-dont-need-link-shorteners-on-mastodon/ And they hide what you are sharing! People can't see what is behind the link. Would they trust you enough and click?

Ah, you do it for tracking?
Well, a lot of people are tired of being tracked.

Solution found! Thanks @Kitty

(But if you've got any other suggestions - keep them coming!)

I saw a toot recently suggesting it was possible to blur selected images - I think the example was pictures containing spiders.
Is this a thing, and how is it achieved?
Is it app specific?

Does anyone know if the 10GB WAN connection on this router is a problem when connected to a 2GB line?

TP-Link Tri-Band BE9700 WiFi 7 Router

The company's chat is uninterested in helping me with my question unless I have the model number for a device I already own.

Will it function properly when connected to a 2GB line? Anyone?

It is for the #Mastodon server line.

Moin. Seit Wochen frag ich euch (nicht), wie man die E-Mails ausschalten kann, wenn man hier Reaktionen kriegt. Auf der alten Instanz gab's das nicht und hier habe ich es nicht gefunden. Ich nutze Tusky, falls das ne Rolle spielt.

Good morning #Fediverse and welcome to Monday.
As I've been watching the unfolding drama over #Breadutube and #Contrapoints (non)statement about Palestine and Gaza, there's been many questions coming to mind on the entire phenomenon of 'content creation'. I'm particular intrigued by the Patreon model, about which I've got mixed feelings but can't truly articulate them. Does anyone know about study/research on 'Patreon economies' and can point them to me?
Thank you!

FEDI. TIPS

Boosting is really important on the Fediverse because it makes whatever you boost federate its gayness to the entire servers of your followers. A boosted post makes your followers' timelines more gay, and also contributes to the gayness of everyone on the servers of your followers.

Instead of venture capital, the Fediverse relies on human beings sharing gayness. This process creates a wonderful rainbow of gayness.

I can't believe I have to say this mastodon. This isn't 1996, and you're not learning how to use Eudora:

When you're replying to a boosted post: Do. Not. CC. Everyone.

Reply directly to the person you're trying to speak to. Remove the @'s to everyone else not directly involved in the conversation.

yes, I know the clients automatically chain on the usernames of everyone involved in the post, but this is 1990s era basic netiquette and not magic.

People of the #Fediverse do your thing, again! I need tips for a browser beyond the usual. I'm currently using #Firefox (my browser of choice for a very long time), but tabs recently keep crashing all the time - an it's particularly annoying when (for work) I am doing something on a platform that doesn't save things automatically (notoriously my uni stuff).

So, write me your suggestions for a private, stable, and reliable browser!

Frustrations with character limits? Here's how you can work around them:

* highlight and "cut" whatever doesn't fit
* hit send
* reply to your own post
* "paste" what you "cut" before

Now you have two posts in a chain instead of one, and didn't lose anything you wrote. If it's *still* over the limit, you can do it again, as many times as you need.

Kilka dni temu wyczaiłem, że istnieje takie narzędzie jak @birb, które przenosi („papuguje”) kanały RSS do Fediversum. Natworzyłem tym sposobem trochę „papug” i co ciekawsze podrzucam, może skorzystacie. Zachęcam również do tworzenia własnych.

Hey friends, a reminder that you can put this into your RSS feed app (replace it with correct values, obv) and it will grab the public feed of any account on Mastodon:

Hey Fedi!
We ARE the algorithm. But that also means it can take a little extra work to get the feed that works for you.

How do YOU curate your feed? How do you use lists?

Here's my algorithm:
Someone posts something cool? Follow 'em.
Someone posts something EXTREMELY COOL (or I've seen their cool content before)?
They get added to my ️ Faves list.

Then, in the Advanced Web Interface (Ala Tweetdeck, see 2nd link below), I've got:

1. ️ Faves. Hide these posts from Home. Also, show me replies IF someone it's a reply to someone else also in my Faves list.

2. Home: folk I follow who aren't in ️ Faves

3. # introduction (to welcome, follow, and boost interesting new folk!)

As always, don't sleep on @FediTips 's excellent guides; here's the one on using Lists:
