@smonky Which allows us to filter out all kinds of Foreign ones we have no idea of content -- a major time saver in the Federated timeline.

That simple thing, clicking a few buttons in Mastodon preferences, and you eliminate all kinds of Unreadable Kanji and East Asian scripts.

Some times of the day, the traffic from Asia is very heavy, and most would be taken off by this.

@smonky Yes, there's alwys room for improvements -- I just made a thread with a of mine, which is to enable Rich Text in toot postings.

Can be done, it is being done in some instances. By having ideas and trying to find ways to put them in practice we make things better.

A tagging system that was built into Mastodon itself would be ideal - so it might avoid mistags by users. Kind of like it senses the language in the post.

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

@Full_marx an instance owner can set any rules they want and block or ban whoever they want from a technical aspect. The owners also get to decide if they wish to block their entire instance from other entire instances, again technically speaking.

Usually when a user selects an instance they do so with the intention of picking an instance that has rules and moderation policies they personally agree with. Obviously people who join an instance want to know that they will not personally be censored but also protected from others who might harass them or otherwise be unwelcome.

On this instance, QOTO, we do **not** ban people for being right-wing, left-wing, or for holding any particular viewpoints provided they are respectful and curteous to others.

We require users to basically be kind to eachother, the most fundemental rule is to "respect a users right to disengage" In short this means if you make it clear you do not wish to interact with someone they are then obligated to leave you alone, if they dont then action will be taken.

Statements made intending to be explicitly hateful, such as explicitly racist comments, would also be against the rules (as i said, be kind to one another). But again we won't ban based on political views or personal opinions though.

@smonky Other than the Cat posting Bot (awesome), all the rest is the underbelly, the less appealing side of this network.

Some might come for that, but I wouldn't build a network for that alone.

Luckily this can be ignored or filtered out as each user prefers.

@users I think we are getting back to normal, ~250 new accounts average growth per week now.

Still - I joined here on November 8th or so -- and we had about 3,200 users.

It has doubled in this short time frame. 😜

@rgx
For comparison, here's the same OP post (from HT, Glitch, Formatted in the original) a displayed at Qoto Mastodon via Pinafore Client.

Unfortunately, although it looks nicer than the Web client snap above, it did not receive any of the extra formatting from the Mastodon instance itself.

Adding this one for reference reasons.

@rgx Ok, the text was received here at Qoto.org, which runs Mastodon, with some Custom modifications.

Replying with two screenshots:

1. taken at Hacker's Town, and capturing Pinafore's display of Markdown formatted text. No stray formatting marks, but noticeable Bold, Underline, Italicized, Bulletted lists.

2. Same post, as viewed at Qoto, displays plain text, and NO stray formatting, other than a plain and uncharming post.

Bummer, but it *is* possible to have MarkDown now already, without breaking

To Wish for Rich Formatting in Toot Text is Legit, imo. Can be Done. Is possible.

#Wishlist for 2020 ?
@design_RG

I would like to see what this screenshot shows:

A post with RICH text formatting, here in Geoff's post a Quoted block, but GlitchSoc does support full MarkDown tags in Toots text.

Things like Bold, Italicized, Underlined text . Underlined links if desired - and more.

Web Clients that, like Pinafore already (see screenshot) support displaying this RICH formatting. Yes, Pinafore is awesome, thank you Nolan!
Pinafore's homepage is : pinafore.social
GlitchSoc is advanced, cutting edge Mastodon development. See it at : glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
or in person at an instance near you.
Screenshot below shows Geoff's post at Hackers Town -- hackers.town , which runs GlitchSoc.

But, wait - won't this BREAK in other Mastodon instances? Display UGLY formatting marks in line with the text? Nope.

See in a minute a screen shot of This post (pretty, here in GlitchSoc) as shown (Plain Jane) in a normal Masto instance. (kind of a let down, but no damage done)

Just found on hash in Twitter. End of October, less than two and a half months ago. User count, near 3,000.

Currently, over 6,500, and growing.

We are still looking for volunteers and talent to join Staff. A mod based in _Asia_ would be ideal for Time Zone coverage.

@Sphinx It's from the home heating, the air gets very dry and causes this small bleeding I think. Water drinking is good, yes. But here, it's water in the air that's missing, me thinks.
