@freemo Yes, I understand. It's part of being a federation, and I respect his right to admin his instance as he sees fit.

Pity, because it's not fair, Qoto is not a free for all, un-moderated instance.

Cute Cat indeed. Snapshot from first frame of video. ---v

@SilkyNsa@mstdn.social Is there no law banning job discrimination?

Here in Canada, even asking someone for their age is not acceptable. Never mind that an applicant must be a member or a family or caste. Geez.

@binsrc Very good, thank you for the info. /me adds --> To Read list...

@freemo

I found a note pinned at the top of the crossposter tool account at his instance, and thought it might be the reason for the ban.

Bot here: masto.donte.com.br/@crossposte

But upon going and looking for his instance block list, it's there, so not a feedback loop control thing like the his post mentions.

Was going to ask you if I couldn't find qoto in his list.'

@freemo

That makes sense, no other way to have it there, with their smaller allowed size.

@KatieVanStuart

@freemo
Correct, it's for that instance. The admin there is the developer and maintainer of the crosspost tool I am testing.

@KatieVanStuart

@freemo

I saw your crossposts to Twitter, it's neat. A harder job, going from here to there. with their very limited size max post length; and we enjoying much more freedom to post Long Form here in Fediverse.

@KatieVanStuart

@freemo
Ah, thank you! I was just reading some more, found the crossposter interesting. He has qoto listed on his black list as "free-speech instance (no moderation)"

github.com/masto-donte-com-br/

Will look at the Katie account next.

@KatieVanStuart

Crossposter tested and works from birdsite to Masto, as long as your fedi account instance is not on the developer's black list.

An interesting tool, maybe could be a bot-like way to bring content we like and it is not here yet.

@binsrc Nice to meet you too!

The image is very pretty, but I had in mind some information link(s) about the cyanobacteria, and the great blooming you mentioned.

Not familiar with them much, would be nice to learn. TY!

Trying this out to see how it works, maybe useful.

But hit a snag! 😉

Oops! We Blacklisted.

More on my experience and thoughts on the web than seemed helpful to put into my #introduction 

@SecondJon Don't know if you have seen my post about this, but it's an excellent article and you might enjoy reading.

@bashterminal You are welcome. I think it related really well with your thoughts on the post above.

Change begins the moment you realize the need for it. :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

@SecondJon Excellent post, I just visited your profile and liked very much the points you made.

We differ in political views, but agree that it's no reason for conflict and name calling. The division and polarization we observe spreading around in many countries will only make things more difficult.

I am also a BBS user, started up with local scene and Fidonet back in the early 90's.

Internet access was only for academic or large corporate sites. Most people had no idea it existed, never mind what it could be used for.

Glad you found Qoto, I think it's an excellent place too.

More on my experience and thoughts on the web than seemed helpful to put into my #introduction 

When reading Ready Player One I realized that my first programming was as a kid editing programs on a TRS-80 (or something similar). First among our friends to have a desktop at home where we'd dial into our local to play games, chat, and message with people from around the world, back when it didn't seem so creepy when you'd be asked "a/s/l" regularly.

Later with the Internet I wondered why companies were buying up and shutting down services like WBS and Geocities, and was sad that what we had left was corporately driven social media mega sites.

I've been doing software development for decades, professionally since my first year of undergrad where I studied ; but I think my real work is problem solving to make people's lives easier/better, software is just the tool I'm skilled with to do that.

I chose the QOTO instance because the rules seem open and free and friendly, the way the web should be... and because of the idea of helping bridge the gap and bring people of supposed opposite sides together to connect rather than be polarizing.

@binsrc Nice image, thank you!

Give us some link, Inquiring Minds demand to Know. 😉 😜

@Optionparty I love geometry.

We can even apply angle bissection via arcs in a construction setting and get accurate results.

String and a nail, swing a big arc, doig again from other points, intersection is the point we need.

A rigid piece like a metal profile is nice too, avoiding the possible error by stretching in the string.
