@ajroach42 very very early mastodon (before like January 2017) really just felt like a massive slumber party
slumber parties are good for some things and not others. it wasn't sustainable and i don't want to go back to those times. but i don't think i've ever felt seen and known by as many people who just accepted me for what i am, before or since
@mordremoth oh, and
• links/recommendations must also be public (for the same reason as relationships)
you could maybe get around this by automatedly just updating your own restricted‐access profile with a cached version of all of the recs of all the people you know (and they know, 𝑛 layers deep) so that people who have access to your profile don’t know WHO recommended something, just that they did (and the degrees of separation), but this massively complicates the technological implementation (every website needs to have a scraper built‐in) and there’s no protection against someone just leaking your information anyway
@mordremoth i think “federated protocol” might be overengineering this; you could do it with a simple fetch protocol that scrapes public relationships 𝑛 layers deep
this is in fact the idea behind FOAF <https://web.archive.org/web/20220518003509/http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/20140114.html>; downsides include :—
• relationships must be public (otherwise it’s not possible to know about people “twice‐removed”)
• people need to actually bother to take the time to publish links and relevant metadata
• you need a hosted version for people who don’t manage their own websites as well as tools for making the above ergonomic for people who do
re: hey fanfic authors who are bad at writing dialogue
i realize the popular esthetic in pop lit is to write a chatfic with a little bit of exposition as trimmings but if you go and read anything at least a little bit old you will find plenty of examples of people not doing this and being quite successful with it
• if the job description asks for a resume and cover letter, please please provide both. it doesn’t matter if they are good
• minimum qualifications are actual minimums. the hiring team is on your side; they want to consider you and will do everything in their power to, including a very liberal interpretation of “or equivalent experience”. but you have to give them enough information to do so
• please provide dates; if you are required to have five years experience please give something at least a little bit related from at least five years ago

the “whispery” bit makes it a lot harder, but maybe…

@noelle re: “The One with the Whales”
i’m realizing that i learned to draw by looking at reference materials on the browser on my Nintendo DSi. it was a different, less-distractible time
@noelle in situations where i don't have access to italics (which are preferred and the default styling of the CITE element), i have used a wavy underline. never a straight underline though, because yeah, looks like a link
re: The Anti-Defamation League
@coriander i only hang out with progressive jews so i really have no idea what the rest of them think of it lol
