    This is the second error I described.

    However, I was not trying to tell you what error you experienced, only offering my experience for comparison, or to add to the list of things you're hearing about.

    Cheers and Good Luck

    I've had kbin show me a 500 once or twice, but it was because my ethernet cable had slipped the socket.

    I've gotten more complex custom errors of indeterminate type, generally when posting, but typically the error is in error, as the post completes as expected.

    I mean, there's a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it

    Babylon 5 was the show I wanted to like, knew I was supposed to like, was literally made for me by people who's work I freaking loved elsewhere; but as much as I wanted it to, it just never really spoke to me.

    I mean, I know what you're saying, and I have some weird shit happening too from time to time, but I just got to say I have similar shit happen on reddit.

    Unlike reddit, I have hope that this will just get better.

    I'll take ducttape and good vibes anytime :)

    There’s always the therapist!
    J/K, the therapist might not care for that lol 😝

    could you be just a little more specific? are talking toothpaste, charmin, downy, ketchup bottle, your significant other? tiny teddy bear? I’m just riffing here, in the absence of guidance.

    It's cool, user @djidane535 dropped some truth on me, and it finally soaked in.

    I'll probably end up with some user scripts, or a browser extension, but I'm holding back until I know more about the ecosystem, what's useful, etc.

    Actually, it took a minute to sink in, but that is very helpful. Thanks for enduring my morning dimness :D

  • @djidane535

    Interesting but not really helpful. I found something in a recent FAQ that says I should add an article instead of a post, but the option to add an article is not on the menu on my instance, as it is in their screenie

    Also I'm a mastodon user, and my account there is the focus of my microblogging activity. The user there follows this account, so my posts here, show up there. The short story is, the microblog here is essentially a right pain in my ass.

    At least now I know what it is.

    How do I make a multipart post in a magazine?

    How do I make a multipart post in a magazine?

    I just tried posting the series of parts to my /mag, they showed up in reverse order in the microblog? WTF?

    Please, if there is some advantage to this microblog thing, I'd love to know what is, and also how to make a post in my own magazine that does not feature a link.

    'Threads/Microblog/People/Magazines' is where simplicity goes sideways in this webapp. It is not obvious what those things are; the couple of guides I've found don't discuss this focal point of confusion.

    Dark matter looks like nothing, because that's what it is. Euclid will see a lot of things, but not dark matter. It is not a substance, it is a descriptive term for a breakdown in Newton-Einstein Gravitational Dynamics.

    The new dynamic is the Milgromian Gravitational Dynamic.

    Incidentaly, this is not science fiction.

    So, I've been using mastodon a long time, several years in fact, and I never really understood all the folks complaining that it was too complicated; I mean, it was just always intuitive to me. Now maybe that's because I never really did the tweeter.

    What I have done is a lot of reddit, and I gotta say, why the hell is this so complicated? :P

    I'm only half kidding.

    One thing that should always taken into consideration by software peeps is that when making a 'replacement' like this (dont tell me it's not a replacement for reddit, there's too much signal in the noise of this mag about 'reddit migration'), is that users that are relocating their operations will need extra handholding and assistance.

    Unlike a lot of us, these peeps aren't casually learning how to do a new cool thing, they're typically perceiving some real and or imagined (Hey, both can cause a lot of stress and anxiety!), they're fleeing something, and trying to settle into a new, safer place; or so they hope.
