hi kids it’s #FediTips time! :ablobcatbounce:

did you know ICANN eventually approved fedi-dedicated TLDs for every big piece of fedi software?

.md is used for Mastodon instances, .pl stands for Pleroma, .mk is dedicated to Misskey and .fr means Friendica

we hope ICANN will come to the conclusion of approving .ak and .ff TLDs for Akkoma and Firefish respectively very soon!

you can only use these TLDs for Fedi instances or else the domain name could be taken away and donated to poor people who want to set up their instance been t can’t afford a domain name

also, markdown is abbreviated as .md in hope Gargron would feel the need to implement markdown in Mastodon during to this peer pressure!

#boost this so everyone knows!

i use VLC

**An apology to the whole fediverse**

I wanted to apologize to everyone as I've been rude and harsh with many of you as of late. Regardless of if it was in response to disrespect or not, that is not in line with my own moral views, it was wrong of me.

My philosophy moving forward is no matter how bad a person I may think you are, no matter how cruel or deserving it may seem you are of an attack, my options will be to respond with compassion or not at all. That said I will continue to call out bad actors in a blunt but constructive way. I will try my best that should I provide a personal criticism I do so with a tone of respect and kindness.

While I can say the recent change have been due to some pretty monumental stress and life changes I've been dealing with (a physical assault and death threat from the Israeli Mob), that does not make me any less accountable. But I do want people to know why.

My deepest apologies to anyone effected, both on #QOTO and off. I will try better to be more compassionate in my words and actions moving forward and should anyone feel I fail to do that I welcome you to point me back to this post.
