I could literally be doing anything and the existence of those possibilities overwhelm me to the point of not being able to do anything
@realcaseyrollins @11112011 i use amazon primarily for search or last-resort. most of my personal purchases have been ebay, particularly refurbished or used.

@lain @alex I really don't like the idea of curating trending hashtags, IMHO...I'd prefer it to just show what people are talking about. Local-only trends would be helpful for filtering things specific to the community tho

@lain @realcaseyrollins Makes sense. In the case of Spinster I made trends local-only, and I think that brought some value, by makings tags like #bookclub easier to find (although we did also get #FreeSquiddy, which was not good).

There are probably better ways to increase discoverability. But I fear they will all have this problem of needing some manual curation.

@feld @lain @boob @realcaseyrollins I like the idea of being able to see trending tags of other servers. I see a ton of potential for !2713.

@icedquinn @11112011 I still buy stuff from but I'm trying to migrate everything to eventually after realizing they've been keeping the prices of aging products from devaluing as they naturally should be

China is now blocking all encrypted HTTPS traffic that uses TLS 1.3 and ESNI. Because, you know, they don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re going. And they’re AssHo.

what even is happening? just one more fake election?

@alex A friend of mine who's no longer on the fedi made a page like that, he gave me the code so I could look at it. It worked pretty well, there was even the potential to see the local trends of every single instance. The only issue is, it included bot posts.

Unfortunately the page isn't up anymore but I have the code still so I might be able to put it up somewhere when I get time

I think the code could even be used as an API if that would be preferable to having it built into every instance

@realcaseyrollins In theory this is what we want to happen, it’s just a slow operation. You can either run a background task to keep crunching it and update the cache automatically, or manipulate cached counter how Mastodon does it. There are pros and cons to each way but neither is ideal.
