I have no idea in what genres I would put this, but if you like female vocals and slightly electronic music, please take a listen!

So glad to see Apple+CHM releasing the source code to LisaOS and Lisa Workshop on its 40th anniversary! https://computerhistory.org/press-releases/chm-makes-apple-lisa-source-code-available-to-the-public-as-a-part-of-its-art-of-code-series/

It's been nearly 9 years (!) since I sat down and tried to figure out how development for the Apple Lisa worked, using the LisaEm emulator, and documented my findings https://www.highcaffeinecontent.com/blog/20140527-Lisa-Pascal-Development-in-Lisa-Workshop

But no one at Mammoth app has said a word. No one in the #Mastodon community has provided an alternate explanation.

I'm not a journalist. I'm a blogger. I'd rather blog. If I could call up @taylorlorenz and say, here bud, take this story because I think there might be some wholesale speech suppression going on, I would. But we are not besties.

The only journalists writing about Mastodon, are the ones with very generous and glowing opinions about #Meta's involvement. What's a guy to do?

fromjason ("fromjason.xyz 🖤") wrote:

This is behavior on Mammoth app is not new. I wrote about it back in December, where I show that large chucks of posts under the #threads hashtag do not exist on one app but exist on all others, including the web app.

My dudes, if you have an alternate explanation that isn't a ghost mod layer over a third party app, I would love to hear it. Throw egg on my face. I'm here for it.

Just for the record, in my opinion it shouldn't be legal for President Biden to order Navy seals to assassinate Donald Trump, and if he did that, I would be OK with him being prosecuted. Trump and I apparently disagree about this, which is weird.

Here's the screen record of today's event. This post still exists on three other apps, and the web client. If this post was moderated by mastodon social, why isn't the post removed on the web client?

Whether this distinct moderation level is disclosed or not, is hard to say.

This notice appears on #mothSocial's content policy. To me it reads "These policies do not apply to Mammoth except they absolutely do." Lol

#Mastodon client #MammothApp appears to use a moderation layer separate from server-level #moderation, where posts are removed exclusively on this third-party app.

I screen recorded the event.

This particular post was by Seirdy, and is the third time in a month this has happened to him.

Here's the thing, other odd behavior resulting in missing posts has happened a lot, to multiple users. All on one app. A lot related to #threads

I posted a thorough write-up about it back in Dec. 🧵

@BeAware @Seirdy Maybe. That would mean there's an undisclosed (as far as I'm aware) moderation level on a third-party.

It would also mean that this post I screen recorded disappearing would've also been moderated. For what though? #moderation #mastodon #activitypub #mammothapp

This isn't the first time this has happened to Seirdy. It's the third. All three times on #MammothApp

This @owa post is *extremely* generous towards Apple's shenanigans.

FruitCo is arguing that the App Store is *five* different stores after it argued that Safari was actually three browsers in a trenchcoat. It would be laughable if the consequences weren't so potentially dire for both web and native developers:

With only 57 days left until the EU brings in rules which allow fair browser competition, Apple's legal games have begun with an attempt to split the AppStore into 5 separate entities.

Apple's AppStore effectively bans all other browsers so it's a must that it be regulated.
