Guess an #introduction is in order. Not sure I ever did one for my first instance, whoops.

Hi, my name is James an I've moved from an instance that is closing down soon.

I'm absolutely queer :asexual: :progresspride_flag: :_gay: but working a boring office job in Germany, trying to remind ppl at work that personal data needs protection and that genAI came fresh out of pandora's box and does not belong in their daily job.

In my free time I #write fic, #draw digital art and #read a lot of books, mostly #scifi. I play a handful of computer games like #GW2. I watch a lot of tv shows and love Star Trek :trekbadgetng: and Doctor Who.

I love #space, #nature, #cats and #photography (although my photos are just taken with my phone). I post them mostly on my Pixelfed account.

Guess that's it for now. I probably forgot a lot of stuff that people write into introductions, but feel free to ask x)

Is it me, or is the new #Mastodon #quote feature the MOST USELESS tool ever to be designed? It overloads a button, making you take an extra tap to boost, not to mention having to read and target a new menu with a finger or a mouse? In case you didn't know, it is hidden under the boost button in the Web UI. It allows you to quote a whole toot, annotate the quote, and ask, if necessary, if the poster will allow you to do so. The poster can revoke permission.

...to quote something, copy and paste only the content you need. Be sure to include the user's handle if you want to attribute the quote.


Nobody that would abuse quoting, that is would misappropriate or twist a toot's meaning, would use the feature. They will copy and paste. This leaves the remainder of the community doing an extra tap, with the extra dexterity required for potentially challenged users, while trying to figure out why they would use the feature in the first place.

Boost for Sample Size when you vote, please!

The longer I look at five-star reviews for objectively terrible #litrpg books on Kindle unlimited, the more I think: "I could do that better!" Is spite an appropriate reason to #write a book? Samuel Proulx: published #author, but only because he was irritated into it.
