I don''t think it needs any extra -- the image reflects the pixel size and full content of what's in place in current Mastodon versions.

Anyone typing their password in the provided space can't really complain in grounds of "I didn't know". Well done, Eugen and team, score.

> Each stub takes up less space than the original post, but many of the nuisance posts you'd want to filter come in swarms, so it still ends up occupying a big chunk of screen space.

Lol... Whose content would that be, I wonder. LOL.

Thanks, Kyle, a useful contribution. It would be nice to not have those stubs displaying yes.

Mye I will copy and add this to my "In case you don't like Cats" Topic, prominently pinned at the top of my profile here.

Improving our personal users experience is important. Thank you!

@freemo
Wonderful, I was going to mention that 2 in support, motion passed. Thank you. 😃

And -- make an Announcement and use these images in it, if you like. Taken at another instance, where I wouldn't care if a Delete process really went without warning.

I took two real snapshots myself -- just now, not stock images from a web search. It is completely clear, no misunderstanding what this action results in.

As such -- I am calling a Staff vote on reinstating this feature. I support this motion.

@freemo

@thecosmicawakening @freemo Two images, taken just now.

@freemo
So, there is no ""Are you Sure? this is not reversible" message?

That sounds like someone in the programming team really didn't care to keep a user reaching this point - if it is like that.

@thecosmicawakening

I agree that it would be good to have the option, a Mastodon default control, available to anyone wanting to erase their footprint.

The odd user who users a clearly Irreversible option, and proceeds after warnings -- that person can take it as a lesson to reflect better before acting. This is likely very uncommon I imagine.

Work in progress, soon to be a Blog and presentation :

Testing new software is always fun (as long as it's something I am interested in).

Had tried months ago, and back looking at a Japanese fediverse client called The Desk.

Interesting, many, many controls and options. And it can run in similar mode to my tweaked AWI full screen setup.

The Desk is a separate app, not a browser or web site you open.

Find it at : https://thedesk.top/en

Here a screenshot with mastodon.social loaded. In half size to save data transfer. (800x450 pixels)

Full size if interested -- 1600x900 pixels, 165 KB :

Mobile users who would like to consider a new fediverse client now have a new option.

I have seen, used and mentioned here the Husky client, a fork of the popular Tusky mastodon client, which is being developed by a1batross, the admin at Expired.Mentality.RIP.

Husky extends the Tusky features and was intended to offer support to controls you have on a Pleroma instance - - quite interesting, including optional Subject lines, Reactions (like on FB), and fancy text formatting.

NO other mobile client supported that yet, which is why he started this. Now I just found out that another fellow instance admin has taken Husky and created her own fork.

Meet Koyu.Space client, ready and on the Google Play store for your Android devices.

Here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Sommerlichter.social

Congratulations to both @a1batross and @koyu@koyu.space

Great work. Thumbs up, thank you both.

...which surprisingly -- unexpected -- still displays the link without naked URLs.

That is pretty neat, and only happens if the post was created in a remote instance with support for the more advanced formatting.

Mastodon ignores Bold, Italic and other text enhancements; But does keep the link URL hidded as intended. A compromise, we show their stuff, so not to break it.

Good to know, and useful as long as the origin of the post can accept the MD code.

5 live links in that post, not counting hashtags. not a single https in sight.

The same post as viewed in my AWI wide screen here at Qoto

* MicroBlog is frequently used to refer to shorter posts and content. Probably originated in Twitter, this expression is also commonly used by fedi developers.

One liner cryptic thingies, really not my thing, I wouldn't even say the word belongs.

But I made a post this morning that I do believe would be a real MicroBlog -- formatted and without unsightly naked URL links (kilometers long sometimes)

Saved a Screenshot to post here -- as it's formatting doesn't display well in plain Mastodon instances.

Screen as seen at the GlitchSocial instance where the post was made, rendered here via Pinafore client.

#MicroBlog #MarkDown ✅ #Qoto will get it too

@leyonhjelm

No kidding - it's there, I had to check. UrbanDictionary has it.

> I installed Waterfox yesterday I feel like it’s better than Firefox in some way.

It certainly is -- an improved and lighter FF experience. I love it. Glad you are trying it out!

Maybe take a look at some of my FF add-on suggestions? Blog post on it :

Firefox Add-ons for the Active User ? -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/firefox-add-ons-for-the-active-user

@freemo Nice, much cleaner. TY.

@freemo Admin control panel toggle, I think.

@freemo Turn it off then. 😉

Time to edit and change these Trending Topics me thinks??
