@lapis @coriander “ah yes, China, the country whose meritocratic administrative systems were grounded in the standardized testing of literary classics while europeans were running around hitting themselves with sticks… surely they do not ‘give authority to written information’” ?????
@lapis @coriander it's also wrong in the sense that in chinese it's outright acceptance that's considered rude and if you want to be really traditionally polite you should probably say no first like, three times
like their model of "asia" is clearly just japan and not, you know, the other countries whose flags are listed
@coriander also wow many of those bullet points are not even related
@coriander also the people who put North America in “lower context” have clearly never been to Seattle
this is a pretty widely-acknowledged east-coast/west-coast divide
@coriander this is just that ask culture versus guess culture metafilter post only with a really confusing map drawn above it
if you wanted my mastodon expertise you could have @'d me at any time in the past four years
you ever just type a helpful reply and then delete it
@gaditb well, i think there are also places you can pull from or send things to which aren't sites, because you can't *travel* there (i'm thinking of Atom feeds or ActivityPub inboxes and outboxes here)
@gaditb but “web” is more demanding as it implies a certain level of interoperability and connection, whereas a URL which can only be viewed in a specific app or with a specific login can be a site, but isn't a part of the web
@gaditb yes, but an API call isn't
so for me "site" means a particular set of technologies or capabilities (navigable via a URL, human-readable, “interactive” rendering of hypertext content) enabled by the internet, in contrast to other uses of the internet (things without URLs, things without frontends, etc)
@gaditb generally the distinction i make is more basic; if you treat it like a place then it's a site, and people treat onlyfans like a place (you can “go” there)
but idk i'm definitely not invested in defending it lol
@gaditb they're sites but they're not web
this person just used the term “fansites” to mean onlyfans and 😔
(i made a hometown issue: <https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/issues/1266>)
the downside to silencing is that being notified when a popular person boosts your post is a good thing and i really wish those notifications weren't muted
maybe we should fix this
if you have been averaging one new follower a day for over 100 days i don't relate to you
people with lots of followers have a huge federation advantage and i don't like when our public timelines are full of their posts
