82I do stuff with taxes for a living and occasionally touch server-stuff for a hobby (when I am not banging my head against it and want to throw it out the window)
I love dressing girly occasionally, call me crossdresser. All future pics for that will be posted on my picdump-account on my sharkey-instance: https://shark.lightnovel-dungeon.de/@stefan (I will vet the followings there)
I also love sewing and reading (Light Novels especially)

@pixx @spiegelmama @JMMaok that is an obvious flaw with unintrusive tracking but so be it. Never said it was the most reliable method anyway.
Though I would argue thats more of a "desktop browser"-problem.
As much more traffic is mobile even on fedi pretty sure this might be less of a problem than it might seem?
But you will surely have to do more work to determine if fedi is "worth it" or not, like looking at other forms of "engagement", like comments, boosts and favs as well.
Like doing actual analytics work.
In the end I don't know too much about the professional side of this anyway

@snow Drowning them alcohol seemed to have worked. 
please not make it a habit. But you seemed to have enjoyed yourself!
Maybe you need some sort of "Snow has fun and people like her" corkboard at home.
Like taking pics with your friends you meet there, print them and have the other person write something on the back if they want?
I know it reminds me all the time that people care about me

@JMMaok @spiegelmama It is very much a skill issue. But it is one that people running these sites made for themselves.
I agree that journalist does not need to know that stuff. Their job description is different. They are there to write stuff that people might find interesting. But cost-cutting made them do marketing as well. A vastly different skill tbh.
In a perfect world a publication would have a person doing marketing and knowing their shit as well as a technical person who knows off stuff like this.
Cutting costs does not help with this. as well as giving away control over such things to cloud providers and stuff. Learned helplessness.
The last paragraph is a networking (as in social context). But random fedi commenters should not be the way to do that. But visiting Foss-adj. Events and the more boring stuff like lectures is. Or just asking some other publication you see on fedi on what they do. Maybe you get an answer. I dunno.
(I hope this post does not come off as too brazen... not my intention)

@JMMaok @spiegelmama tbh it does not seem tooo hard to me to measure "engagement" atleast for the number a link is clicked (which could be used as a measure on how much "traffic" a presence on masto brings you).
You can do analytics like this in a very unintrusive way not even much needed.
A german publication and NGO that fights fake news uses a simple UTM parameter in the links they share here by attaching "utm_source=mstdn" which could give you a hint on where visitors are coming from when they click a link. Should not be to intrusive tbh. And analytics software can track this.
> by measuring traffic that mastodon drove to our site. Because this is a respectful space, there was no real way to track clicks, so I couldn't justify it
So tbh this seems more like a skill issue more than "there is no way to track this stuff". using a simple parameter is not intrusing privacy all that much tbh and may be deamed acceptable.
Obviously a discussion with the community of where the account posts if this is fine.

I was watching a JayzTwocents video just now and saw this case The Cooler Master Masterframe 360 (https://www.coolermaster.com/en-eu/products/masterframe-360-series/)
The comments were like: "This looks like a fancy coffee-machine"
Kinda think @snow would like having a coffee-machine *in* her PC.
(Please don't it sounds like a bad idea to mix... But the mad scientist in me wonders if you could a functional PC and coffee-machine in this...)

Yay heute mein Lieblingswort: SCHIENENERSATZVERKEHR
Immerhin war das ganze geplant und es ist Ostern daher sehr entspannt
Auch wenn ein Zug natürlich besser wäre
