Liveblog, the new Mastodon interface designed for live events e.g. watch parties, faced the acid test of #Monsterdon (+ #MonsterMiru) last night... & survived!

• Let me post without having to worry about entering multiple hashtags every time (Mastodon web's capricious hashtag autocomplete is the most frustrating "feature" for me during watch parties)
• It auto-refreshed & kept up with the flow; maybe not as instant as plain Mastodon, Liveblog perhaps every 1-3 seconds, but definitely good enough. (For me at least; at one point another user said Liveblog would only update every ~60 seconds for them IIRC. At the exact same time, it was working fine for me. 🤷‍♂️)
• Enough vertical space for me in my laptop side-by-side watch party setup to be able to see 1-4 posts (depending on their content)

Drawbacks last night (it's under development, & changes/new features are being added daily):

• Couldn't click on a post to see its parent/thread
• Couldn't edit a post
• No notification sounds. Not an issue for me, as I have Mastodon pinned as one of my essential tabs in Zen Browser so I heard notifications from that. (It would sound 3-5 seconds before appearing in Liveblog.)
• EDIT: no emojis, had to remember how to use emoticons :D

I'm going to keep using Liveblog for watch parties. Give it a try yourself, watch partiers!

The computer whiz married his router and modem, pronouncing them husbandwidth and WiFi.

Bad news for my neighbor if I'm supposed to love them as I love myself.

I was in a good mood until I started petting a duckling in the park. Then I started feeling a little down.

Quick reminder, especially if you’re a freelancer or developer using Free/Pro/Pro+ plans for client work: Opt out of GitHub using your data for AI model training before April 24 (seriously, wtf that this isn’t opt-in!).

Nach einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde und einem Beitrag von @sonjdol zu Blogs bei WordPress, Medium, Substack und Co. gehen wir jetzt beim zweiten Magdeburger @fediMD in eine erste Kaffeepause.

Das #Plushtodon ist auch dabei.

I want everyone to see my cartoon son.

Tux und die Plushtodons haben gerade eine Blume bekommen.

You may find yourself thinking, as I did, "I'm already paranoid, so I can drink the juice no problem." Friends, this was a bad idea. #comics

Trust the process. #comics

Well, yeah, but we also made our own instincts wrong, so. #comics

Thanks, mirror. Good talk. #comics

I wasn't gonna, but now I kinda want to. #comics

This might be one of the greatest error messages of all time.
