@bangundwir Welcome!

@admitsWrongIfProven Just my opinion as one who enjoys reading them. Several important things:

1) As you said, include a link to the original page if possible, or at least a link to the site entry.

2) Try to include credit and inclusion of the artists @ handle when one is available. I *want* people to know about @howardtayler and https://www.schlockmercenary.com/. They are worthy.

3) Money via ads. I don't want to cut an artist's revenue stream. I want them to keep doing what they are doing, even if I can't personally throw money at them at this time. So reposting dailies is a bad plan.

Tilly yips at me with her "baby" at her feet. I'm to take it and throw the doll down the hall. She races away, then brings it back with this huff-panting that sounds like laughter to me. Then she makes me chase her a bit until Tilly drops the toy for me to throw it down the hall again. I so love the sound of her running and her laughter! #DogsOfMastodon @mikmaqpeek

@freemo Actually, are my invite links visible to you? It's the latest one generated.

@freemo I'll DM the invite link. Issued just within the last hour or so.

@freemo

Have you heard anything about Norton Chrome Extension calling qoto.org a "very dangerous website"? I sent an invite to someone and it blocked her. She used another browser and it's fine. Weird...

@helenangel Yay! Glad to see you here!

@profmobius and @searge, yay! It's cool to see people from #Minecraft around here. I actually originally joined the Birdsite to track what was going on with Minecraft. :)

@freemo Thank you! Learning the ropes here.😊

@freemo It does, I'm using it, but I expect "at some point" I'll need to create a post with thread entry points on that particular topic, bookmark *THAT* and remove the other bookmarks from *THAT* post. Or something. :)

@freemo "Lists" would be of people I follow, which is not the intent. I'll just bookmark thread entry points for now and see what turns up later as I learn this system. Essentially, as Questions get asked relative to, "Why is Qoto blocked/ why are you on that site 'everyone' is blocking?"

@freemo Yay bookmarked on the web site! I see where I can do "lists." I'm not sure that's the correct tool, but I'd love to organize links to the public side of this ongoing "conversation." One does not have to be a (insert various groups presumed toxic) to behave in a toxic way. I'm opposed to the toxic behavior, regardless of the ideology behind it, even if it is an ideology I subscribe to myself.

Toxic is toxic.

English: Welcome! I'm not sure why you are following me, as I do not speak Spanish. But I am glad if you find interesting things. I try to use correct spelling and grammar to make translation easier. I am happy that we can communicate past language barriers.

Español: ¡Bienvenido! No estoy seguro de por qué me sigues, ya que no hablo español. Pero me alegro si encuentras cosas interesantes. Trato de usar la ortografía y la gramática correctas para facilitar la traducción. Estoy feliz de que podamos comunicar las barreras lingüísticas pasadas.

@astrotoya Her eyes are MUCH better! We went to ER because they were nasty read and weeping puss. I'm not a doctor, and I didn't really want her to lose her eyesight.

@mikmaqpeek complained, "I look like a ghoul!" I replied, "Perhaps, but you are the ghoul of my dreams!"

I keep her laughing. :)

@YuriBrave
Yay! I'm glad the conversation was enjoyable. :)

@astrotoya You mentioned feeling ill on the other site. My wife's had a horrible sore throat, coughing, no fever. She ended up getting pink-eye. I've been putting drops in her eyes and she has several inhaler medications to help her lungs through this. She's getting better, but tires easily. I hope you get better soon too!

I see you, but you can't see me 'cause I'm hidin'. I come out for treats!
