@tully my biggest concern is you end up accidentally or unknowingly liking a real asshat and getting on their radar, but that is generally a risk on the fediverse and in particular with my app since I make it easy to like and boost with a single tap (in contrast to #phanpy for example where you have to bring up a menu)

@fedicat idk, this just seems like a very …contextually-appropriate feature. one which mostly makes sense within specific social circles.

It's been a few months since I visited Japan; as you may recall I was traveling around *a lot*.
Here's a projection of all the places I visited, in numerical order.
Data comes from photo EXIF, plotted on OSM tiles and rendered with a Python script doing some Math.
A big question before I went was whether the Japan Rail Pass was worth it. I contend it was, but would people be interested in an actual analysis to prove that?

@tully Yes, but why not reply, instead? They're going to get a notification of the quote anyway, if it's mastodon. And just recently I saw one of those, it came off as one of those "with all due respect" followed by insult posts. Anyway, you can always unlike the original post if you really don't want to give them the like, the problem with my setup is that it's not obvious that's what's going on since I don't display the liked/boosted icons in the embedded quoted post.

@fedicat is it possible under this system to like a quote post that is not a dunk but happens to respectfully disagree with the quoted post?
(without also liking the disagreed-with message, obviously)

I think Mastodon's new UI design is good. It appears to be evolving in the same direction as #Mitra. For example, our "Lists" are already called "Custom feeds" and there is a hidden "Explore" page which will soon be added to the sidebar, replacing "Local", "Federated" and "Profile directory" (this is to free some space for new features such as groups)

@liaizon in #fedicat you can still post and share the link without anyone stopping you, but in this particular example I would just reply, instead of quoting them and saying look at what this idiot said (although #gotosocial has reply controls), regardless, I don't pretend to have The One True Way of the fediverse, but I do have my way (actually multiple often conflicting ways) that I'm going for, so it's actually nice there are so many clients out there I can try really specific approaches.

@mookie I dunno, I'm kinda with Dude here. "I'm sorry, I have to spend more to spend less?" It's like minimums for "free" shipping. You're not saving money if you have to get things you don't want/need. It's a stupid trick.

There's no reason not to call it quits for the day, so we'll bid adieu.
On the other side of the world, hold down the fort. Reinforcements are on the way.

@fedicat I get the intention behind it, and I think it is an interesting topic to discus regardless. I guess I personally think there are good uses for "dunking" on things and the idea that everyone must only quote post things for positive reasons is just not how the world works. take for instance the @EUCommission account, most posts there have wonderful qp dunk potential. and you are almost universally punching up as it were.

@liaizon my primary motivation is I feel like quote posts are like stealers, when I'm liking a quote post chances are I really intend to like the original post, and the original poster never gets to see all those likes

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe (2026-08-19 07:52:34)
@liaizon I'm going with the spirit of the new mastodon quotes, that you shouldn't be quoting a post just to dunk on it (in which case the original poster can revoke the quote), and you shouldn't be liking a post that's quoting a post just to dunk on it.

@fedicat lets say someone quote posts a post my Mastodon about their new redesign, and dunks on it a lot. if you `liked` that post, you probably are not liking the post about the design, you are liking the dunk in which case it doesn't make sense to `like` both

What happens in Mastodon 5.0 if I, *not* using Mastodon 5.0, reply to someone else's post with a "private mention"? Will they, on Mastodon 5.0, be able to see the private mention is branching off of a thread? Will that fact be hidden? Will it be formatted like a qrt?

Ah! Also I hate this. I recognize why private messages within a thread can be confusing, but I really like how private messages on Mastodon are "hallway track" side discussions from regular threads instead of there being a shitty IM app crammed into every social network which everyone just uses to set up IM conversations on better IM apps. It's very good that Mastodon DMs are *pinned to discussions*, and odd that Mastodon is killing virtually the only feature distinguishment they have with bsky.

I’m going ahead with this: liking a quote post will automatically like the quoted post and there will be a slightly different like button icon to indicate this behavior in a completely non obvious way

I hate when interfaces that previously had nice, clear lines, *literal lines*, between interface elements of different semantic type, get redesigned to instead have vague, fuzzy, screen-eating¹ whitespace dividers. I have hated this since 2009. I stopped using the iPhone because it adopted this philosophy. I feel it massively increases cognitive load because instead of functional areas the screen is just various floating text
¹ I use apps at a relatively high zoom level and my screen is not big
