the capitialist paperclip maximizer recruitment funnel:
It isn't weird that it happens. It's weird how consistently it happens and how consistent the replies are despite coming from unrelated friends. None of them take my actual context into consideration. It's like we've all internalized an Amway recruitment script without realizing it.

@jalcine@todon.eu This reminds me of something that happens with my fellow friends in tech. I'm retired / burnt out from tech work. I'm bad with money but got paid well enough that our life has been fine. Min-max'ing financials hurts my soul. Ditto husband. We're living off Netflix stock options. Conventional wisdom says this is risky. Yes, but also, it's Netflix and we're living at the end of eternity so fuck conventional wisdow when following it drains my soul. Without fail, whenever I ment…

I have decided, as a #selfhost with just two other people on my instance, that I'm going to limit threads.net following the example of @… quoted below. I didn't know that you can “unlimit” specific accounts! This is an interesting option.

A screenshot from the mastodon admin page for the threads.net domain after it has been “limited” and so appears in the list in the Federated section as a limited account. There are a number of graphs, all clickable, that show stored accounts, stored posts, stored media, their followers here, our followers there, and reports about them.
A screenshot showing the full admin page with menu on the side ad Accounts selected under Moderation. This is where you go when you click on the stored accounts graph under the threads.net domain federation page. There are a number of accounts listed with their posts, followers, and last active.
A screenshot of stonekettle@threads.net account page in the mastodon admin shows his name and profile pic, his posts, and other stats. It is listed as “Limited”
Same screenshot as previous but now there is a green “Successfully undid limit of stonekettle@threads.net” message and the Login status is now “No limits imposed”

President Biden has turned on the Federation option for his Threads account! @potus@threads.net While we have threads.net limited here because of the expectation of poor moderation, his account, as well as a number of others, have been exempted from limiting and can be followed in hear-me.social the same as any Mastodon account. Remember, though, the feature is in beta. It's one way. You can read posts from #Threads accounts, but those accounts cannot yet see replies, nor can they see who f…

X: "I need SSH access to your server to do make that configuration change."
Me: "OK, send me your public key."
X: "I don't have a public key of that server. You need to send me username and password."
Me: 🤦‍♀️
Nope, you're definitely not tech savvy enough that I would allow you with SSH on my server.

I've had a little process running for the past year or so, totting up Mastodon "active monthly users". Occasional bumps up (one outstanding one last summer when Elon did something particularly idiotic) followed by long slow declines.
Was somewhat disappointed to see recent growth of about 250k turning out to be a phantom instance (telling lies via the API).
