hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

you can read more about me at peregrinator.site/about?1

i have a quiestion about the fediverse:

are followers linked to domain, some sort of id or some other way?

say i spin up my own mastodon server.

people follow my profile there.

then my mastodon server crashes and i have to do a full reinstall.

i make a user with the same name on the same domain, or even install pixelfed (same url's)

do people still follow me?

i understand that whoever i followed might be lost (but this is easy to export and backup), but what about people who followed me?

I didn't expect my post about Swedish Television mistakenly labeling Vladimir Putin as "president USA" yesterday to blow up the way it did. What I *really* didn't expect was 's admins deleting my post just as it was approaching a thousand boosts. This because someone allegedly reported it as "misinformation", and that what I saw on TV "does not appear to have actually happened"... which ironically is about as Putinesque a statement can be.

So how would you fact check this? A few people commenting on the post had already done that, the way people normally do — by asking for the source. And they got it. I even boosted the link to SVT Play, where the broadcast can be streamed by anyone. It's still there svtplay.se/video/jAM5B9o/aktue

The Hachyderm "fact checking" process doesn't ask for a source though. In fact, they didn't ask me for anything. Since there were no news headlines mentioning this blunder, it must not have happened.

I appreciate the lecture for me to "fact check my posts before posting", but the assumption that I'd want to post anything on this instance again could certainly need some fact checking.

To the rest of you, enjoy this last screenshot of Putin definitely not getting labeled as "president USA" on SVT2 News on Swedish Television. And for those of you who can't get enough of things that never happened, I'll post a video in a comment below too.

Message from the Hachyderm admins stating "Some of your posts have been found to violate one or more community guidelines and have been subsequently removed by the moderators of hachyderm.io. Hello, Your post was reported to us as it contains incorrect information. Although we do not believe this was intentional (and thus are not categorizing this as "misinformation"), we are removing the post as it does not appear to have actually happened. We fact checked this post by researching if there were any news headlines, in the US or elsewhere, that a major European news network had labeled Russia's president as the president of the United States. In future, please fact check posts before posting / reposting them. Misinformation is spreading rapidly with the current political situation both in the United States and internationally, and it is important to not to contribute to it when and where that can be avoided. Thank you, The Hachyderm Mods"Screenshot from SVT (Swedish Television) picturing Vladimir Putin with the title "president USA" next to his name.

I made a silly little game about planting and harvesting grain for the game jam.

While working on it I realized it would be fun if the farmer sang to the background music, so now I made a music video with the song I produced and sang for the game!

While the theme was to recreate the game "Gain ground" from 1988, I instead went with creating the game "Grain Ground", since that's felt a lot more fun.

I really enjoy the federation feature very much, we move a lot of interesting fediverse threads into the forum and also have people from "outside" replying to threads.

Doing this, I've come across a UX issue (well, two) when moving in threads into the forum:

  1. I spot a thread somewhere in fedi that I want in the forum
  2. I paste the URL of a post from the thread into the nodeBB search bar
  3. I click "show results as topics"
  4. I find only that post and anything upthread from it
  5. I move that thread into the forum
  6. To get all the subthreads into the forum, I gather all the URLs of the leaves of the thread, search for them (as topics) and they federate in
  7. Any future replies are not federated, unless they @ a forum user og any forum user follows the person replying (and even then maybe not, Fedi is Mysterious)

I would like:

  1. A fetch-all-replies button to push after point 4) above, to get the whole thread from the original instance.
  2. An automated reply-fetcher polling for new replies in the original thread (w. exponential back-off etc.)

Maybe this already exists or is raised somewhere else? If so, feel free to move my post or just give me a reference.

Thanks for this really excellent piece of software :smile:
