@lain @realcaseyrollins @alex Trends are waste of time and energy and do not work. Topics are good and work but you have to allow for the merging of Topics or, better yet, have admin approve Topics so no duplicates. eg. Covid and covid-19 and coronachan should not be 3 Topics (same problem with trends).

Maybe it's that I look up to writers like @rgx@muensterland.social who I could never hope to approach in terms of skill, volume, or skill to volume ratio

so was the election based or cringe?

I certainly love writing tho! I have some Counter Points Media video scripts that I'm itching to make into a video so I can put them on the blog, and I actually am about to write another one about a music video.

People around me are starting to tell me I'm a good writing but I certainly don't feel like one 🤔

@realcaseyrollins @lain My idea at this point for trends in Pleroma is config options like “Trends are local-only” vs “Trends show everything and I accept the consequences” vs “Disabled”

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 @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.
