@manton 🤯 whatever happened to the rucksack and a thumb! I know .. I know.

@bapsi not so much bending spoons as bent spoons

@bax I wrote a long diatribe and deleted it - her is the issue I have in a nutshell …

I agree with the idea. I disagree with how it works.

Orgs selectively choose and pitch states against each other rather than having a federal approach that rewards equitably and in favour of the people in the whole country .. not the same orgs that ‘win’ over and over … and the states that win for ‘favours’.

@artkavanagh we can both take a seat, wipe our respective brows and declare that ‘all is good again’ .. at least in this little corner of the interweb.

@artkavanagh not sure how you picked up SoHo - article says

did I miss something?

Never an overly big who fan my self - so didn’t really track them post ‘hey day’ - BUT they did have some bangers - and this one is IMHO included.

another is ‘the song is over’ -

My go to would be that it would always be Pete that wrote the song. I would have said Roger wrote none - but just checked - he did have his name on ‘up to’ 5 - songs - depending on how you count. So new learnings today.

@manton the second part of that quote was so good that I had to go read the original, save it, and capture the quote for posterity.

@manton :~)

I like the subtle visual separation on sources and assuming the same will happen on cross-posting.

@bax indeed .. happened to watch this just last night ..

I need to come back with clarity on why I don’t like our current approach.

@manton Sources are connections and integrations … I think you know where my vote roughly stands.

Also if you don’t want two pages … do add a way of hiding sources or ‘tributaries’ so that we can at least partially ‘declutter’ our page … lots of connections gives you a very busy page that is not welcoming.

@kaa I did download - not sure I am in ‘novel mode’.

@manton Bottom Line? … ‘Yeah - No’.

Not to the idea - but to most else. I started writing a ‘quick’ reply - and it ended up being its own thing. ( 🔗 My take on the Muskrats new factory ) … sorry.

@philpin.com I clearly over estimated the potential .. where did I put the drawing board?

@kaa downloading … because you can never have enough writing apps .. in the hope that one of them will make me a better writer.

@news am i right in thinking that if i update a post on micro blog - it will auto update the blue sky post? And if so - but mine didn’t - what could I be doing wrong?

@manton one immediate thought

‘Sources’ is doing heavy lifting.

To borrow from Dave’s analogy - if we are talking ‘a river’ - the source is where it starts - not where it ends up - so two pages OR two sections

sources - all the services supported that are out there - and we get to add whatever the links are

these are placed like an RSS feed or a word press blog of Lettrboxd or Sourcefeed or whatever

don’t need to list them all - but you could provide examples of which people might like to pull on

THEN - ‘destination’ - same deal - eg

Bluesky, Masto, LinkedIN et at

not exactly a finished work of art - but you’ll get the picture - and pardon the pun …

The dotted arrows might be what is possible but not connected - the solids are connected and working - green if working properly - red is connected but not working. I know I know - stretching the scope … and yes i recognise some nuances around this - different services pull and push in different ways

Some are names. others just feeds - but for me - allowing me to name the fee would be useful - particularly with something like AlbumWhale - where I pull a couple of different feeds in - BUT - that list COULD be 15 different ones ..

also yes - it might be that some services are featured on both sides - and that is ok

as a blogger - my thinking is not bluesky, masto, rss etc - it is where do i want to pull in from - and then what do I want to push out to.

@manton Just to show appreciation that has little to do with the post topic … and all to do with clicking on that tweet link and being auto redirected to XCancel … 💯
