@shel that's a lot.

i haven't posted anywhere there yet or commented anywhere. on the one hand: i like that you can edit posts. on the other: holy shit those notifications.

@shel "so, what's your five year plan?"

@online hi friend thank you for sharing the good posts and also some of the bad ones

@thefishcrow isn't it just so hip and fun to have a bed on wheels that cops can cite you for living in whenever they feel like it

@Tom this hot new pleasekill tech will be all the rage in the upcoming fiscal year

@thefishcrow @vahnj o gosh i need some popcorn STAT

what we've got here instead is concentric circles: the entire gnusocial network, your followers, any single follower. so, outside of dm (which, like all the privacy here, was compromised even before the exploit), anything you publish on your timeline will at the very least get to every single person who follows you. following people and accepting followers then becomes an all or nothing affair. that's not good consent practice but it is pretty much status quo for social media. we can do better than status quo.

every machine has an ethos. the idea behind aspects is when you decide to start sharing your stream with someone, you don't have to share the entirety of yourself. there's never an all or nothing. so, from a single account you might want to share some things with certain groups of people but not other things. making a new aspect doesn't require that you have a new account to share out and do the same old work of getting everyone you'd like to see it to follow your alt again – you can just make the aspect and publish to it.

@Knight_of_the_First_State or just aspects. using salmon to publish to any number of specific lists – which it's built for – vs a clientside implementation that would essentially just be a stripped down web browser and an obscure feature of email users are required to know about in order to utilize is kind of a great way to just have a mess on your hands. twitter does exactly this, and tweetdeck is messy as all hell when using multiple accounts.

here's the user guide on aspects:

@Knight_of_the_First_State having multiple accounts requires multiple emails, multiple browser tabs, etc. extremely resource intensive comparatively, and it's a lot more to keep track of.

@thor facebook adopted lists from diaspora's aspects and butchered them anyway. i've never seen google's circles, couldn't say about those.
