What if there existed a fediverse (#mastodon, #pleroma, etc) tool that looks through your follows and creates a visualization of who you followed, when, and who you subsequently followed if you likely heard of them from a previous follow.

A similar idea, a visualization of your follows, and how many of them follow each other. Reminiscent of #mastoview by @Luca

🎂 Everyone please say *HAPPY BIRTHDAY* to @Luca who's turning 30 today! Let's see how social this place really is and boost this thing 😀 🙌 #hpybdy #luca30 #spreadsomelove

The other day, I started wondering whose toots I've favorited most often—mostly as a "scientific" way to figure out who to feature on my profile.

One weekend-coding project later, and I can now share an app with all of you: the Tool for Tabulating Thirty Top Tooters (#t5, for short). https://t5.codesections.com.

It scans all the toots you've every favorited and ranks the top thrifty people who you've favorited most often. It's #freeSoftware and I hope you all enjoy!

I made a #WirSindMehr Livestream microsite to share the video without stupid related suggestions: https://wirsindmehr.glitch.me/

Just opened a new GitHub issue on Mastodon: Allow moderation through API. https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/8580

My hope is that this can increase the effectiveness of moderators, which could help them better protect users against mobbing, harassment, or other bad acts.

Idea: :dont_at_me: as a permissions level for a post.

Can still be boosted and favorited, but servers should prevent replying, and a server implementing this will reject any incoming replies.
