Once again feeling like it's almost not worth posting to Mastodon given the degree of mansplaining that everything I put up here attracts. Why is ...
 We really have a problem here. Good people are being mansplained/harassed off of the platform. (It's been a problem for years actually) It just takes just 1% of us to make this place feel overwhelmingly bad. 99% of us are lovely, tolerant people. We can't let these victims fend for themselves. Call out reply guy/mansplaining/(or worse) behavior. We fix this by supporting each other. We get the culture we tolerate. View quoted note →
There was a recent poll here about what Desktop OS you use and Linux was the most popular answer. This proves this community is far more technical than your average consumer. I'm not critical of that, I'm just saying we need to appreciate we aren't representative of that vast majority of people out there. I can't even get "normies" to *consider* joining the fediverse. I don't want to "chase numbers" I want my family members to be safe but we're doing a terrible job attracting them. image

My Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about: 1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead 2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns 3. ...
 There are 300K+ views on Youtube of my talk! I've never had a talk get this amount of traction. I'm a bit in shock. It's confusing as I've been speaking/writing about this for years. Somehow the stars aligned this time. Upside is that I've had lots of interesting conversations with folks because of this. View quoted note →
So hypothetically, (I'm NOT suggesting this literally, this is for discussion purposes only!) Prompt: if users ONLY had Public/Followers only/Private as 'base' post types, how would they be negatively impacted? *Specifically* what types of posts would fall through the cracks? How limited would Followers only really be? Goal: There obviously would be negative impact. By discussing how, we can brainstorm BETTER ways of giving them this functionality
