2.0 (finally)

MASTODON

hi everyone, I've been taking a break for a bit for the sake of my mental health. I won't elaborate on much but it turns out that I care way too much and it's been hurting me. I'm not ready to return yet and probably won't be for a while but I didn't want to keep leaving people in the dark

@botolo86 that's the point! you don't have to. there might be a bit of discontinuity because pixelfed only accepts posts with photos attached, but for the most part your posts will show up there.

now, there is a case where you might want to guarantee that your post shows up exactly how you want it to, or you might want to take advantage of a feature that only pixelfed has. that's when you make another account for it

@botolo86 Technically! It's better to say that Pixelfed is compatible with Mastodon. Pixelfed instances are still Pixelfed instances, they just send posts to and receive posts from other websites in the same way as Mastodon does. It's also why you might see something from Sharkey or Akkoma or even Peertube or Lemmy on here, for example. Different software but they speak the same language.

Bluesky in particular is excluded from this because they chose to build out their own standard after determining that the one that Mastodon uses didn't fit the vision that they have for it. This is why you can't directly talk to anyone on Bluesky, and why anyone on Bluesky can't talk directly to you here.

ok I'm going to leave a little notice here that I'm going DMs-only for a bit while I cool off. my feelings are very real and valid and I need to accept what I do first and foremost before I can accept anything else. letting my anger eat me isn't healthy but neither is denying it

This photo is 3 years old at this point, but it's still my favorite pic. Like, ever.

Made one of those fancy full-width scrubbers recently. A neat trick here is if the touch starts on the scrubber, but then continues moving vertically, it gets β€œhanded off” to the sheet β€” reducing the likelihood of accidentally changing playback position while also ensuring the sheet is easy to resize

bird.makeup and bsky.brid.gy both in the ring fighting to see who can disappoint me the most times by tricking me into thinking that a cool artist joined mastodon at first glance
