another pixelfed question for all the pixelfed admins:

Mark Zuckerberg says Threads users will soon be able to send direct messages to each other without having to leave the platform, adding a separate inbox for DMs (Jess Weatherbed/The Verge)

Threads will soon test its own private messaging system that’s distinct from Instagram’s, starting in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina.

The military is a lot more complex than most folks know. Keep that in mind. Don't give up and assume they're all just born to kill, or that if they are deployed against Americans they'll shoot. Some may, some may not, treat them like people and some of them might act like people. That's the take away here.
Since this toot is more popular than the parade itself, I'm gonna mute to save my inbox.
I also want to apologize to the admins here for the extra traffic. :P

The Pathos of Power
What B2's Cannot Achieve

Starting this week in the U.S., Instagram rolled out a new map view, which you access at the top of the direct-message inbox.
The map, confusingly, combines two forms of location sharing:
First, it includes locations you have actively tagged in recent Instagram stories or posts.
Second, the app nudges you to opt in to a new form of passive location sharing
— letting friends see wherever you last opened the app,
even just to scroll through it.

Many users…

A couple of folks said I should replace the pop-over email signup form on my blog with a much more subtle inline signup form at the top of the page. So! If you'd like to reward the more user-friendly design with your patronage and support (it's free, I only ask for your attention), you can sign up to get my new posts in your inbox just by sharing your email address. I won't spam you or sell your email, and don't post too often.

Mastodon’s chronological feed is downright oppressive if you treat it as an inbox, as homework that must be completed.
But if you take it as an honest timeslice-based sampling of what people are saying and thinking about? It’s pretty awesome.

After 6 weeks in a new job where it seems like everything happens over email (maybe because Teams is so poor?), I finally cracked and went full PA on my own inbox. I now have folders, categories and rules. I try not to admit to being a very competent secretary in a previous life but sometimes it comes in handy!

While stuck in Ilulissat I have tried to deal with the email backlog (again). But they come in way faster than I can deal with them.
I love the idea of inbox 0 but would literally achieve nothing else if I practiced it, and work would be very boring.
Anyone have suggestions for good systems that work for overwhelming numbers of emails?
I receive around 50-60 a day, at least half of them need me to do something, often something substantial so they're not just for info. #LifeOfAScientist #Emails #EmailEttiquette
