JRaccoon

Just a lvl 27 guy from 🇫🇮 Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.

During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.

    According to one (non-furry) artist I know, Twitter still is/was one of the best places to get commissions and full-time artists need to be where their customers are. I don’t think using Twitter (or any platform) automatically makes someone a Musk supporter.

    That said, I’m very happy if recent… events have again sped up the migration to Bluesky and other platforms. Personally, I’ve been a happy Mastodon user since 2022. Of course, Id love to see more people there, but also it’s been nice to see spammers and whatnot mostly going to Bluesky, leaving Mastodon just for the nice people ^^

    Aamukahvin aikana selaan Ylen etusivun läpi sekä paikallislehden uusimmat otsikot. Ylen sovellus on yllättävän hyvä ja toimiva, paikallislehden ei niinkään. Työpäivinä lounaalla tulee usein selailtua paperinen Hesari läpi, jos ei ole lounasseuraa. Aiemmin tuli iltapaskoja selattua pitkin päivää, mutta oon jo parin vuoden ajan pyrkinyt jättämään sen minimiin.






  • For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.

    Personally I’ve only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven’t tried any others.


  • I never understood why exactly it’s such a controversial topic. It’s my third year on Mastodon, and I’ve never felt the service was lacking just because not having proper quote posts. But then, I also don’t understand most of the arguments against them, especially when/if they’re implemented as an opt-in for the original poster.

    Basically, people on both sides seem angry over nothing, and I’m just like, ‘Neat, a new feature. Anyway…’


  • You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.
    You will be notified when someone quotes you.
    You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.

    To me this sounds like the right way of doing it. Quote posts have always been kinda a hot topic on Mastodon. Some people want them while others absolutely do not. So best just let everyone to decide for themselves.
