You can hardly find a studio the works of which are so thoughtful, kind, and intentional as Studio Ghibli. To stripmine that for its aesthetics, to take a piece of cardboard and paint it like food and say "See, doesn't this taste just as good?" is more than missing the point, it's barbaric […]

One of the easiest ways to tell someone has Poster's Madness is if you see them debating someone via QRTs. Every response re-bumping the argument for all their followers to see

Threads federation test! It's finally happening!

[Web dev cont'd]

@jsstaedtler I respect the attempt to achieve this without JavaScript, but it sounds like functionality that could be progressively enhanced: without JS it's a read-only like count, and with JS it becomes an interactive button. That way you can do the cookie logic AND update […]

Really need to take some time to blog some thoughts about #webcomponents. I've learned a lot from using them in production on @readazuki.bsky.social, and I see a lot of advocates suggesting building things with them that just don't work elegantly with the tech as it exists. I'm a huge critic of […]

There's a lot of snickering over Threads racing to copy BlueSky features, but I think it's mostly a good thing. Competition breeds innovation, and Threads is getting a lot better a lot faster now that BSky is hot on their heels

@harrymccracken […]

[Bsky, brid.gy]

In case anyone on the Fediverse side was wondering, bsky.brid.gy is not relaying to Bluesky at all right now. As per the developer:

"The Bluesky team has been working on their relay to handle all their new growth, and they’ve temporarily stopped ingesting data from federated […]

Paragraph about how the Mecha-Ude themselves are full of life, which adds a lot to the charm of the series.

Here is a """classic""" article I put on Medium because it was too shit to put on my own blog. medium.com/@Heydon/choo...

Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

@Gargron Thank you and every contributor for all the work you do to keep Mastodon going (and growing!)

Our Hateful Conduct policy is designed to protect our community from attacks based on a person’s protected characteristics, such as race, nationality, religion, or sexuality. The policy prohibits harmful behaviors, like suggesting that a victim of harm deserved it, or sharing a hateful image or symbol. The language used to cause harm and spread hate changes over time. To ensure our policies adapt to those changes, we review them and how they're applied to prevent those harms. As part of our Hateful Conduct policy, we prohibit the use of terms that may not be harmful or abusive in isolation, but can be used as a slur or to denigrate others in certain contexts. In line with that approach, starting today, using the term “Zionist” to attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief is against our rules. We recognize that “Zionist” and “Zionism” also refer to a political movement. Using the term to refer to the political movement, whether in a supportive or critical way, does not violate our Hateful Conduct policy. Our goal isn’t to stifle conversation about or criticism of an institution or ideology, but to prevent coded hate directed at individuals and groups of people. We include examples of the language we prohibit in our enforcement notes here. We want to make sure that our Hateful Conduct policy continues to be flexible and cover terms that may be used to cause harm to others. We’ll continue to evaluate our policies to ensure that they’re protecting our community effectively.

We prohibit the use of terms that may not be harmful or abusive in isolation, but can be used as a slur or to denigrate others in certain contexts. Similar to other terms that may be used as a proxy for a protected group, we treat “Zionists” as a proxy for Jews or Israelis if the word is used in a context to promote harm or violence, or when used to make dehumanizing comparisons or perpetuate antisemitic stereotypes. Comments regarding Zionism that are about the political movement, including criticisms, do not violate our Hateful Conduct Policy. Comments that call for violence against Zionism as a political movement, or comments that would otherwise violate our policies, are not allowed. Prohibited example: Zionist [name of animal]. Allowed example: Zionist settlers keep encroaching Palestinian borders

Twitch updated its Hateful Conduct policy.

A funny consequence of the bridging is that this post is appearing in BSky too, so referring to the Fediverse as "here" is probably confusing!
