A nice feature set.
And a modern GlitchSocial instance has added features compared to the vanillla Mastodon ones.
Rich Text -- Markdown and BBcode, is built right in. I love that. Heads up for what looks like an interesting place for an account.
Tom Rinaldo is the admin and force behind Kafuka.me -- https://kafuka.me/@emuz
@emuz Nice work. Success to you and the instance. Curiosity -- what's the story about the "kafuka" name?
@emuz I was really curious about the name. It seemed similar to some funny English words.
@realcaseyrollins , think about another RealCaseyRollins @ KamFukWi.me ? LOL. 😜
Sorry for the little joke, it's good to know the origin of the name, and that is not a collapsed funny one like this above.
I like your choice of GlitchSocial, it's a nice platform, I enjoy it in a couple other instances where I have accounts.
I would suggest you could promote the awesome support of Rich Text options in GS -- #MarkDown and #BBcode right off the box, fully supported.
For someone in #Publishing, that is Great -- and I do use it to prepare my Blog Release posts with some of the possible touches MD enables. Header size, bold and italic; quote blocks, code tag with pretty contrasting text.
Succes with your instance, Tom! Thanks for offering an awesome service that takes effort, dedication and expense; many people don't even realize how much.
@realcaseyrollins @design_RG It's very much what you know with some cool little extras! I'll DM you a single use invite so you can jump in without having to be approved!
#glitchsocial is the Future. Right now, here, and looks and feels like the vanilla ones.
But -- it adds pizzazz and a more open project, development than main stream #mastodon .
A LOT of good ideas, already implemented. You could also consider https://koyu.space/ , another GS instance and quite nice.
For an average mastodon user, transition is painless. For the ones that care to discover the Extras, it's SO much nicer.
Waiting for Eugen to bless rich text, #Markdown? Already in use, at GS and #Pleroma everywhere.
@design_RG @realcaseyrollins Lol! No worries.. suppose to be a fun name hehehe! :)
I don't often leverage the Rich text aspect as it didn't seem like many found it useful.. but I'll be sure to do so in the future. It's a real gem of the system and I've used it to help create clear, concise messaging for updates.
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it! Indeed it's a lot of dedication.. but I enjoy this kind of thing!
@design_RG @emuz I'll check it out, no doubt! #GlitchSocial seems cool but I've never actually been on an instance before.
