as somebody wo is bad at using multiple platforms, i wouldn’t actually mind stories in mastodon
@milan
Could somenody explain what "stories" in this context are supposed to be?
I don't do Facebook or Twitter, never have, and all I know is that they get lots of hate on Twitter and somethingsomething misuse.
(or just give me a link -- I searched and read through a bunch of Twitter threads but still have no idea what they are, only that some people hate them...)
@Mr_Teatime on twitter it seems that they are called fleets. not sure about how they behave on twitter but its mainly i guess max 20sec videos that get deleted after 24h. ...instagram copied snapshat basically, facebook integrated that feature, now twitter got it too... new stories show up on top in a short first row of your feed, it autoplays to all new stories if you tab on it
@milan
okay ... so, without actually seeing thwm on action:
* video is expensive for the server, so deleting it after a while could be useful
* showing up on top: not so sure... Twitter people seem to jate the ide of messing with their timeline, and I'd tend to agree
* but sometimes I'm behind by a few days on mastodon ... so maybe rather delete after ...don't know, all addressees have watched/dismissed it?
* no public posts because that's a "I never claimed X" propaganda tool.
tbc...
