--- Log opened mié abr 13 00:00:39 2022 02:03 < tyil> it looks like if I comment on a post, I'll get notifications for *any* new reply to that post, even if its not a reply to me at all 02:03 < tyil> is this something I can change? --- Log closed mié abr 13 02:35:33 2022 --- Log opened mié abr 13 02:35:42 2022 02:35 -!- Irssi: #friendica: Total of 9 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 9 normal] 02:35 -!- Irssi: Join to #friendica was synced in 18 secs 06:57 < fikabot> 💬 tyil: Well, after you start participating in a comment thread on a post, new comments kind of are tied together. 06:57 < tyil> hmm 06:58 < fikabot> 💬 Similarly to how if you sit down at a table of people at a reception and people are talking, you are expected to listed to what others ara saying, without the current speaking starting every sentence with `tyil` all the time. 🙂 06:58 < tyil> yeah but at a reception I can walk away, and people wont just follow me around because I said hi when I walked in 06:59 < fikabot> 💬 If you are not interested in that conversation any more, you politely excuse yourself to get another orange juice, and then perhaps join another table later on. 06:59 < fikabot> 💬 Imagine circles forming at technical get togethers where 4-5 people start mingling and talking after or between lectures. 07:00 < tyil> I'm not really interested in a discussion about what to imagine right now 07:00 < fikabot> 💬 Or on occasions where you have the whole place reserved and you are there with a 100 friends and you drink at tables that seat 4-6 people each. 07:00 < tyil> the answer is no, I know enough 07:01 < tyil> I just wanted to know if I could stop getting notifications from a thread I have long since stopped caring about 07:01 < tyil> not a whole discussion about how one can dream about this in other contexts which have nothing to do with my question 07:01 < fikabot> 💬 Technically, it is an advantage to receive all new comments within a thread you participate in, because otherwise those messages wouldn't even get federated from other servers and you wouldn't have a chance to reconsider whether you would like or reply them. 07:01 < tyil> which I thought was rather simple 07:02 < fikabot> 💬 If you click on `... more` under the post, you can find an `Ignore thread` button. 07:03 < tyil> thanks 07:03 < fikabot> 💬 You don't have to be harsh, though. We are all here as normal people and because we care for each other, we are not paid tech support who you should be bashing. 🤷 07:04 < tyil> I'm just asking a question, I just want an answer, I'm not bashing, I'm trying to say as nice as possible I'm not interested in some long-winded discussion for something which was reasonably simple to answer 07:05 < tyil> you have to understand that not everyone is interested in an hour-long discussion about everything all the time, it will just frustrate users and make them just drop friendica altogether 07:05 < fikabot> 💬 Yes, that's the leecher's perspective of it. And the normal people's perspective is that we would like to talk to each other about things related to Friendica or social networks. 07:06 < fikabot> 💬 Feel free to chime in with your own topic if you would like to talk about something else. 07:06 < tyil> or not everyone wants to have an hour-long discussion when they just have a simple question ;) 07:06 < tyil> I'm going with that perspective on it 07:06 < tyil> I did chime in with my own topic, I found something annoying, asked if it could be easily resolved 07:07 < fikabot> 💬 🆗 07:07 < tyil> the real answer was "yes, go here and click this", the answer I initially got was "well you know in this imagination of mine [...] no" 07:07 < tyil> those two are vastly different, and the initial answer was of no help 07:08 < tyil> I tried to tell you that I was not interested in the imagination discussion, which you perceived as bashing, even though it was not my intention 07:08 < tyil> my intention was to get an answer 07:09 < tyil> I am grateful for getting the actual answer in the end --- Log opened mié abr 13 10:45:37 2022 10:45 -!- Irssi: #friendica: Total of 9 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 9 normal] 10:45 -!- Irssi: Join to #friendica was synced in 15 secs --- Log opened mié abr 13 10:53:12 2022 10:53 -!- Irssi: #friendica: Total of 9 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 9 normal] 10:53 -!- Irssi: Join to #friendica was synced in 15 secs --- Log closed jue abr 14 00:00:56 2022
