👋 Hello writers, allow me to make my #introductions!

This year I resolved to take one of the ideas bouncing around my head and force it into a book - my first.

A City In Stand records a utopian society confronted by world-breaking storms. If all goes well, my characters' happy, stable lives will be shattered and they'll be forced to recreate their entire lives.

I'm here because I want to absorb other writer's processes through osmosis. And make writer friends.

@cats lovely photo, @georgia

You might consider exporting your posts into the big T ? Masto.donte.com.br has a very nice tool that can handle traffic both ways.

I use it myself, as needed. Great photos always, thank you.

@cats @freemo @snder

And thanks to the excellent added features included in the Mastodon fork, hard work performed by our admin and the many original programmers (, GlitchSoc, etc), we can also visit a remote instance and see their Local Timeline.

For us at least, here at Qoto, this link shows it : qoto.org/web/timelines/public/

Before any misunderstandings happen, this ONLY shows Public posts, done at the remote instance Local feed and ALSO sent on to all Federation members.

Would be nice to see this added to main stream -- maybe the developers could see the value and look at porting it?

Qoto's fork is on the Git here, open source and close to ready if desired for importing.

@cats @freemo @snder Kudos for nice work.

Thanks for support Feline lovers, Spanish speakers and allowing native language posting in the instance.

Muchas gracias. Somos todos Uno.

And I had the pleasure to chat with the admin of a nice and progressive Mastodon instance. I had heard about Quey.org, my feline loving friend Georgia hosts he nice @cats curated feline posting account there.

@freemo vouched for Quey's admin, which is a huge endorsement in my view too.

Plus, European location, under European Union Privacy laws -- this is something high on my considerations list.

goes to our friends at Quey.org -- quey.org/about/more

...to be added in a upcoming new version 2 of my "Why Choosing an Instance is Important" blog post -- quite popular and very satisfying to me as a curious and author.

Read original post for now?

@Lyudmila Thanks, Lyudmila.

I am quite happy to see that people in Europe understand there's an issue here -- while in North America the zionist lobby is very powerful, specially on the US.

@k11m1 @users

And a quick visit to the Admin panel. 11 incoming, new users applications.

NOT. One. This.Time.

Yes, I am sure.

is now open only for people who can argue they deserve admission.

@snder

I was refering to this other one -- instances.social/

...and being in the joinmastodon.org list can be a two sided blade - we got a huge influx of new people, zillion accounts and many zero posts, ever. Or, not in any way related to Qoto's theme.

@11112011 @hispa@mastodon.social @Lyudmila

The positions Cats can find to relax in, I just contemplate.

Lovely photo, Monty.

My hooman has been in isolation for so long he says he’s forgotten how to wear shoes. I’ve shown him I never wear shoes and I do fine. I tell him he’ll be OK, his paws will get tough 😺😺😺

@sabreknight I usually offer new users a guide to Mastodon, not sure if you need it or not, but mentioning it...

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-gu

We also have another new users guide, posted here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

@mikelga The situation is real, and the palestinian people have suffered a lot.

It's labelled and "Antisemitism" and jew hate if someone questions it in certain countries -- which support the Israeli government with yearly donations of various kinds.

In the USA, the lobbying and political power of people supporting this is immense, and opposing them is risky.

Found a larger version of Lyudmilla's map, with English labels -- it is here : qoto.org/@design_RG/1042109587

Fact Check: MSNBC’s Palestinian Loss of Land Map

"Last week, MSNBC aired a map (above) showing loss of Palestinian land to Zionist settlers and then to Israel from 1946 to the present. Following criticism from Israelis and their supporters, MSNBC apologized and stated that the map was incorrect. But was it? The following is a fact check of MSNBC’s map and the criticisms of it."

Palestine: The ‘Catastrophe’ continues after 67 years

Partial Quote :

"After Israel’s establishment in 1948, more than 760,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes in what became known as the ‘Nakba.’ It is commemorated every 15 May with protests against what is described as the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.

Their number has since increase to more than 5.5million as generations continue to live in refugee camps and in separated Palestinian territories; some of whom where in the streets to protest against Israel and its settlement policies in Palestinian territories."

It is indeed a tragedy, and there's strong interests supporting this.

Thanks to @Lyudmila and @mikelga

@k11m1 @users
Just reviews my incoming emails, and there were 15 new prospective accounts.

Read and delete them as I go. Blank. YouTube. etc.

From 15 in the box, 4 had content, and were left for consideration.

@k11m1 @users

The view in the Admin panel after the ClearOut. 😛

But we DO have the Approve Button, and I would use it first - get the worthy ones in, then use Nuke options.

@users Those could be the new applications being reviewed as well - we have been following our decision and I am happy that there's a number of people who did fill in as requested. Access granted.

Nice to see Microsoft releasing the GW-BASIC source under the MIT license.

github.com/microsoft/GW-BASIC

Now any retro-hobbyists who know enough x86 assembly have a starting point for supporting embeddable scripting on ancient DOS systems.
