There's a weird trick that people on X seem to be practicing now, where, when they want to make a reply that they posted in a thread appear to all followers, not just those who follow the thread participants, they repost the post immediately preceding that reply.

Hence the questions:

1) is it allowed to boost our own replies here, and if so, will that show them to everybody, even those who normally wouldn't see the thread? What's the best way to achieve this?

2) Will this cause other instances to fetch the entire thread from the start?

Kirjoitan Hesarin mielipidepalstalla, että sosiaalisen median kieltäminen lapsilta ei ole toimiva ratkaisu.

Käyttäjien sijaan rajoitustoimet tulee kohdistaa palvelujen tuottajiin: käyttäjen heikkouksia hyödyntämään pyrkiviä algoritmeja ja massiivista tiedonkeruuta on säädeltävä samalla tavalla kuin säädellään esimerkiksi elintarvikkeiden turvallisuutta.

Ja myös aikuisilla on oikeus terveelliseen digitaaliseen toimintaympäristöön.

Sosiaalisen median kieltäminen käyttäjiltä ei ole toimiva ratkaisu

Oikeus terveelliseen digitaaliseen toimintaympäristöön kuuluu lasten lisäksi myös aikuisille.

I’d like to address the elephant in the room.

Because I’m not speaking to you.

Day 5 - Nia (Purpose)

Its been 400 years since the start of the slave trade so people have had a very long time to vilify other people because of their skin color. Antiblackness has spread across the globe, and dark-skinned people are judged by others as soon as they are seen.
Changing that will take a long time.
I've been thinking of writing stories where that isn't the case. #Solarpunk stories. Finding a purpose can be something very small, but every little bit helps.

Really nice live take of this amazing song. youtu.be/sQelbVB0xaY

I have some bad news. $ORGANISATION has failed to reach its funding target in $YEAR. We are $RANDOM() short of our $RANDOM() funding goal.

Only by guilting you are we able to make our funding goal this year.

I did something this year that I would like to recommend to everyone for the new year. Call it a Fedi Resolution if you like.

Find someone whose work you like and become their champion. Not in a creepy way, but make a point of boosting them every time they post (or post about) their work. Recommend it to people you think would like it.

The Fediverse works if it works for the people who use it. If you see someone who does something you like, lend your voice to help make it work for them.

For a while, in my life, even numbered years were less preferable than odd numbered ones in that less bad stuff tended to happen in my life during odd numbered years. At some point, this changed. Now, they all just seem to suck equally, with a couple of exceptions. This year and 2019, so far, have been the two top worst for me in general terms, with 2019 edging out in a few fundamental respects.

I don't even bother being hopeful anymore. Come what may, and all that.
