I've been noticing people posting lots of stuff that is directly related to things that they've posted before.

@alisynthesis i try, but finding old posts on here can be a whole project in itself
@ahihi i'm more thinking about when people are posting over a day or two, I just wish they would use threads.
Also, it should go without saying, but I'm not suggesting anyone should actually change their behavior to placate my weird needs.
-
@ahihi oh, totally. I think after a post is more than a couple of days old, it's pretty much a lost cause.
@alisynthesis @ahihi my clunky solution is to use a distinctive hashtag and/or to search for words I remember using, adding from:me to the search query, which always feel awkwardly narcissistic

@sknob @alisynthesis @ahihi I love to make long threads that go on for months. Sometimes I remember to use a hashtag, but the other thing that works is to search my own post history by media. If I included a picture or a video (I always do -- I get people's attention with graphics), I can quickly scan for that and follow that to the thread.

I've been noticing people posting lots of stuff that is directly related to things that they've posted before. That's super cool because I love peeking into other people's lives and goings on!
But when they make a new standalone post for every update, I'm probably never going to be able to read the previous posts and therefore I have no idea what they're talking about.
If this sounds like you, please use a thread so I can properly peek at you!
@alisynthesis I'm a child of Brecht. The history of the last century is one of fragmentation. I try to view that as a positive, though it's not easy. Think, let go of certainties, of continuities. Still, try to pick up where you left it

@poetaster as they say in the southern parts of the US, you go on ahead now.

@alisynthesis never afraid to break ground. If I can project a happy countenance, who could complain

What were we on about. hmmm. Too, many threads. Not enough needles.

@alisynthesis the problem is Mastodon search sucks, making it really hard to find even your own post about something from a year or two ago.

@alisynthesis - or quote-toot yourself; long threads can get pretty unwieldy
