@lukemperez But he still held slaves.

\n

Iā€™ve been struggling with this as Iā€™m reading the biography. His attitudes and actions on slavery were similar to Jefferson, who outright denounced slavery and tried to include a denunciation in the Declaration. And yet they both owned slaves. And yes, Washington freed his slaves on his death. And he treated them relatively well. But he still owned them up until then.

\n

I donā€™t think thereā€™s an explanation for this. Itā€™s just how people are.

And yet Washington was also a great man, perhaps the greatest man of his century. Perhaps the greatest American President who ever was, and he has stiff competition for that title.

@manton I posted a 1,900-character post on Mastodon just now using the content warning as a headline, and it looked ok. The link attachment was marked as sensitive media (which it most definitely was not), so I will want to look into that.

\n

Content warnings were initially intended as a means of warning users against emotionally triggering content (sex and violence but also faces that appear to make eye contact and images of food), as well as TV/movie spoilers (you already know this, of course), but I do now see them used on Mastodon just to mark content that many readers might not be interested in ā€”Ā for example, I just now saw one with a content warning something like ā€œAmerican politics, US Supreme Court.ā€ So I think my idea is valid, to use the content warning to break the content of long posts.

@manton Oh, splendid, thank you for working on that.

\n

And I have a correction to make on my comment earlier today: I just wrote a long (1500-ish characters) reply to someone elseā€™s post on Mastodon. I wrote the reply using my hachyderm.io Mastodon account, not Micro.blog. And the reply is truncated behind a ā€œread moreā€ link. The truncation is about at 700 characters.

@manton My Mastodon server doesnā€™t automatically truncate long posts.

\n

It occurred to me this week that I like posting long posts to Mastodon but, paradoxically, I donā€™t like seeing them in my timeline, and that hiding most of the post behind a content warning would be a good solution. I have yet to try it.

\n

And yes, converting the title to a content warning would be a good idea.

\n

People donā€™t like clicking links when theyā€™re scrolling a Twitter-like timeline. Rather than linking to long posts, a better solution is finding a way to show the body of a post while remaining in the timeline.

@manton Thanks! I also want to experiment with using content warnings on Mastodon to hide those long, 2000+ character posts. Thatā€™s a big lump to drop on peopleā€™s timelines.

\n

And @ffmike raises a good point. I donā€™t care about like and boost counts. I donā€™t care whether that information is public so by all means hide it. I just want to see the likes on my own posts and see other peopleā€™s boosts.

\n

I think if you supported likes, reposts and lists, I could migrate my Mastodon to Micro.blog for good. Same for Bluesky!

\n

Even better: Support the Mastodon API and I could use a nifty Mastodon client (Iā€™m currently liking Indigo.)

\n

Iā€™m not expecting this to be done this week. Next week is good! :)

@manton Your willingness to hear suggestions and take them seriously is one of the things I like best about Micro.blog.

\n

With that, here are two more: Iā€™d love it if Micro.blog supported Reddit, Mastodon, BlueSky and Tumblr embeds. I do a lot of that on my blog.

\n

Second: For those of us that cross-post on Masto instances supporting more than 500 characters, please allow us to cross-post the limit. I cross-post to Hachyderm.io, which supports up to 2,263 characters.

Yes, I have asked you for the second request at least several times before.

@manton I agree with @vladcampos on most of his points.

\n

I like seeing reposts because it shows me additional content I might not have seen otherwise.

\n

I like seeing likes on my posts because it tells me what people are interested in seeing, and also because occasionally I get a like from a friend I havenā€™t heard from in a while. (Every year or two, my college roommate occasionally pops in to like one of my Facebook posts ā€” I havenā€™t talked with him since 1982 but I get a kick out of seeing his name.)

\n

Manton, I love the work youā€™re doing here with Micro.blog but this place feels like a kiddie pool where the water is kept at 72 degrees and weā€™re all required to wear floaties. I wanna swim in the ocean.

\n

Also, Epilogue, bookmarks, Bookshelves, Movies and Notes and the RSS reader seem to me to be distractions, when Micro.blog could offer so much more.

\n

Consider this criticism to be praise. Micro.blog is the only individual blogging platform for non-technical users worth criticizing.

@manton @michaelgemar is right. Apple succeeds by taking clunky-but-somewhat-popular categories and making them better. Though I quibble with the inclusion of AppleTV on that list ā€” itā€™s a hobby product for Apple, without mainstream appeal.

\n

But the problem for Apple and other smart glasses vendors is bigger than that. Smart glasses and VR headsets are niche products. Most people donā€™t want them and donā€™t have a use for them. Their appeal is not to people, itā€™s to tech companies looking for a platform they can monopolize.
