new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

#FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, now has a "TOTAL CHAOS" preset for when you're really feeling like mixing up your timeline in addition to a way to weight toots based on the author's follower count, highlighting of hashtags based on how much you use or interact with them, and a bunch of other fund stuff.

You can now send replies to Toots as well as expand threads directly within the #FediAlgo demo app, no need to click through to the regular Mastodon web interface.

@shanie @dashall The whole thing is backwards: "The administrator of mas.to, one of the largest Mastodon instances, clearly didn’t, and possibly still doesn’t, understand this. Which says a lot about the maturity of the Mastodon ecosystem."

No, it doesn't "say a lot about the maturity of the Mastodon ecosystem". That's like saying because in my opinion one website is shit, the whole Internet must be!

Me estoy planteando comprarme un portátil gamer, por motivos de espacio descarto un sobremesa. He echado un ojo al Razer Blade 18, que está de oferta y tiene la aprobación primera de Dunkel.

NO ENTIENDO de hardware, no me preguntéis. Ah y que me dure unos cuantos años, es para jugar sobre todo juegos local en casa con ella (Enshrouded, TESO, el simulador de Jurassic Park de gestión) y mucha memoria porque todo pesa ya un quintal. Los triple A los hago en la PS5 por norma.
Gracias!

OK. I made it home safe from delivering packages. Six days a week since Thanksgiving. Very grateful for many things right now including the community. Listening to The Night Before with Robert Drake on WXPN in Philly. Friends coming over and the wife is banging out killer snacks right now. I'm a very lucky man and very appreciative of the things I have. Merry Everything to everyone!! Peace.

New features for #FediAlgo, the customizable #algorithm for your Mastodon timeline:

🪓 Live filtering based on #hashtag (inclusive and exclusive)

#️⃣ Seed your timeline with toots from anywhere in the Fediverse that contain trending tags (#SouthKorea and #UnitedHealth have been big lately)

🔥 Icons to inform you whether a toot is from an account you follow, a hashtag you follow, or is trending (and if so, why it's trending)

⚖️ Weight based on retoots, replies, age, etc.

I kind of find it hard to look at Mastodon without it at this point. The installable demo can be found here: github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/f

Also available as a NodeJS package built on #Masto.
Here's a video of the demo app:

I made an account on BlueSky to follow some folks who were leaving Twitter.

It's interesting to see the posts praising it as a "breath of fresh air, " "no ads," "no-one pushing hate," "only sane posts," "in- depth conversations."

Exactly what I saw when I moved here two years ago.

I dunno. I guess there's no one platform style that will fit everyone and that's fine. But man, I sure love it here! Having an in-depth conversation about sauerkraut really trips my trigger. 😉

¿ Hey #masto users, did you notice ?

In the writing column, the label of the Publish button **can** change.

It is written "Publish" for
🌎 public and 🔓 semi-public audiences ("unlisted").

It is called "🔒 Publish" for
"🔒 my followers only" audience.

But is still "🔒 Publish" for
a direct message, which I think is quite frightening: you do NOT want the message to be *published*. (Cf image in attachement.)

I suggest: "🔒 *Send* in private" for a direct message.

Yo, I just moved servers from a business server, so I guess I need an #introduction on the #masto. I had no business being on that server...

Nah, but for real I'm Vin from Southampton and I'm likely listening to music. I'm heavy into #Grime like Stormzy, Russ Millions, Skepta, Tutu, and on and on. Also love some slower shit like Khalid or Billie.

Big up to the #Southside and my mom's flawless skin. I started a skincare routine this year, but if I can keep from cracking, all glory goes to God.

Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal law that bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail,

worried that a future Trump administration could invoke the #ComstockAct to crack down on abortion access or effectively ban the procedure altogether.

“There is a very clear, well-organized plan afoot by the #MAGA Republicans to use #Comstock as a tool to ban medication abortion, and potentially all abortions,” said Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.),
who on Thursday plans to introduce legislation to repeal the Comstock Act’s #abortion provisions.

⭐️“My job is to take that tool away.”⭐

Democrats’ push to defang the 151-year-old law comes less than five months before a presidential election
in which reproductive rights appear destined to play a defining role.

But the party’s mixed reaction to the plan underscores the balancing act between policy aspirations and political realities.


Sens. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.), Catherine Cortez #Masto (D-Nev.) and other Democrats have signed on to the legislation,
according to Smith’s office.

Rep. Becca #Balint (D-Vt.) will introduce companion legislation in the House,
and in an interview she said she believed House Democratic leaders support the effort.
