@onepict Oh very nice! I enjoyed helping out on that, and I'm glad it's out.
"But isn't one's 'read' all hopelessly subjective? Isn't it all defined by your ingroup/outgroup relations? Aren't we all in our own little bubbles, and have only a dim idea of what's really going on in distant spheres of social discourse?" - all that being said, I think people who believe that "AI is very popular and only getting moreso" are whiffing on very significant macro-social cues all around them, because of various social and ideological biases.
We'll see, I guess!
@jplebreton i think most people will subtly alter the way they label their own perception ("lie to themselves" i suppose) to make their preferred emotional conclusion more likely to be true. one of the more malleable ways to do this is to push or relax definitions slightly, so, if so motivated, you could easily believe AI is popular because "all those people hating datacenters don't count" or "people use instagram filters which is AI" or "i only count the AI people who understand AI" or whatever

@serge I guess the reason is that I’ve been on an instance with its own branding and its own community from the start.
The main thing I want is the local timeline, subscriptions of people I follow explicitly *and* activate the bell so I see them in reply-view (notifications), and non-blocked people being able to comment on my toots.
The start page is already something I use only infrequently.

Also, it's not like chronological order of posted and reposted isn't an algorithm...
It drowns out smaller/newer voices, a complaint many people have if you read other social media sites talking about Mastodon.
And let's not pretend that instances don't have a huge influence on who can be platformed too.
@rustoleumlove Yeah, it's going to suck for a lot of people... glad I am not traveling.
@ai6yr
me too.

Yesterday I watched a longish YouTube exploring the old Route 66 from Chicago down to the California coast. Lots of it is derelict now as Interstate 40 sucked the passing trade away. I didn’t realise how much the animated film ‘Cars’ was a documentary. It also reminded me that, even where communities have clung on and maintained the ribbon of amenities and attractions, rural America has such a third world feel. American self-belief relies so much on ignorance of how much better it is elsewhere.
Friends, I'm working on a playlist of songs that ask you if you are ready for something or just ready in general. I need some help identifying more songs with readiness checks.

@flamecat and as far as furry community is concerned, I leave that to furries of course, but here's a voice from within that community:

@rysiek Absolutely won't argue against that and I'm also of the opinion that there needs to be a switch away from Telegram. It just seems like an opinion that is in the minority right now. A girl can dream of a better platform I guess.

“American self-belief relies so much on ignorance of how much better it is elsewhere.”
That is a pithy summary of USA’s core problem. In healthcare in particular, they simply don’t appreciate how much less expensive it is everywhere else in the world, and usually with better outcomes too.

I need recommendations for IRC servers.
Yes I am fully aware it is not likely that many will use it if any at all.
