Wondering when I missed @manton fixing the “Following N users” link on one’s own profile page on the web? It’s equal parts awesome & frightening (for triple-digit values of N)! 👏
(Also, I wonder if perhaps those links’ text should use “people” or “members” rather than “users”?)
@smokey I made that change recently (so it matches the iOS app) but don’t think I announced it. Good point about “users”.
@manton Thanks; I wasn’t sure if I had missed an announcement due to travel and such lately or I had discovered a just-rolled-out change 😃 Glad to have it on the web now—and you have been on a roll lately!
@simonwoods I think it doesn’t matter that some small fraction of Micro.blog accounts are not individual humans—they’re statistical noise, and catering to that is letting the perfect (term) get in the way of the good—but also by using a person-descriptor, the language then reinforces the message that Micro.blog is “intended” to be a network of humans interacting. (And, with apologies to the corporate right, domains are people, too—at least a lot of them are.) (And some of the non-individual accounts are more interesting than some people, for example that lunch reporter pos(t)ing as @Omni 😜) But just about anything is better than “users”… // @manton
@smokey Posting those lunch reports is probably my favorite thing every morning. Mainly because at that time I’m already thinking about lunch. :)
@macgenie Right? (I mean, I suppose that bird network does if the Omni account has enabled cross-posting, but….) Who needs The Happiest Place on Earth when you’ve got the joyful Omni lunch reporter? 😄 // @brentsimmons
@smokey Just be glad we don’t also report on dinner! Tonight, for instance, is bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin. 😃
@omni Indeed, probably for the best – otherwise, you’d be keeping the entire world hungry all day long! 🥓
