We had a post flow by, saying they might give up on the protocols that fedi currently use, and write their own. Including a dismissive repart to some of the content , pretty homophobic.

I would see that as a positive event.

@freemo

@freemo You mentioned something yesterday, yes, but it did not make much sense, I didn't have the details.

She was online earlier this morning, and a small group chatted, then I looked back and found her topic about implementing White Listing, 26 h ago or so.

People couldn't pay for the value of the work we all put into the network and our own instances, the content we produce, publish, share.

It's deeply disturbing to me -- that those people are actually WORSE than the gab gang they prat on about. Those, I have blocked and not heard for for six months. We don't bother each other.

The fedi block gang are the undercover Fascists in action at this moment.

Despicable ass holes. pardon my language, unusual. Just too much.

@freemo It might be a hiccup or her system going off due to DOS. 😔

@freemo Thank you, I would think so too; I w there earlier and found out then; she added another instance at my request too.

@freemo is Qoto on Leonie's whitelist, do you know?

I am getting some errors in Pinafore connection.

@freemo very beautiful.

The page alone has artistic value, and the laborious process of writing it that fancily must slow down thought processes, to calm the spirit.

Thanks for sharing that. I spend hours on creating something, and it is quite pleasurable. Sometimes the author is the one who can see the deepest into it. Like software, where so much brilliant work never gets seen, other than by someone maintaining it.

In a reflective mood this morning. I am deeply affected by getting to know that Leonie is under attack.

@rodolpho It is a Latin word, and in my view the correct pronunciation is the original one -- the one you used.

I remember cringing on hearing a work colleague, who was knowledgeable in her subjects, refer to a variety of Pine -- Pinus Nigra (or black pine, translated), and MANGLE the Pinus as "Painus". Arghhhh.

Go try to tell anglos that is not correct.

@koyu is a member here at Qoto as well, and I am thankful to her for the service I also enjoy at her instance, now targeted in this way.

Cheers, friend. Hope this will resolve itself soon.

A friend has been forced to Whilelist Only their instance.

This due to people ganging up on the administrator, the arseholes in the fedi block brigade.

Stunning, elegant. Can see the screen quality clearly on the photos.

Interesting, thank you for the post. Do you have a link to the course, or is it locked behind paywalls?

* Does it Matter, what Instance you Use ? *

It most certainly DOES, for me it's a huge consideration. As the results I can achieve vary, and so do the local resources at hand...

# Case in Point - the impact of Higher Visibiltiy Text

Using enhanced text is common practice in most fields of communications. I have been yearning for it -- see the screenshot below, a post made 3 min ago, at an instance that does support #MarkDown text format.

#GlitchSocial in that case, a #Pleroma user could also do the same without trouble.

# What is Special here :

* Bold, Italicized and Underline styles applied to text.

* UGLY naked URL link addresses, do you see any? Nope, and there are 4 Live linked places in that Toot. (that is not counting the hashtags either.)

* A TITLE that shows, it's called a Heading in html parlance. The Title at the top is formatted as H1, the largest one possible. Code used to force that? One single character. A "#', followed by a space. Done. H1 title.

The Mastodon developers have received suggestions, requests and CODE contributions directly to their own Git Hub base; yet, it has been denied acceptance.

Well, I want it, and will use it. Elsewhere, until Qoto possibly joins the cutting edge too.
