For my first post today, I want to send a bouquet to Nolan, the developer of the Pinafore web app for Mastodon and Pleroma. Thanks for creating such a brilliant freedom-respecting UX!

@Sphinx @nolan

Just finished editing the new topic at the Forum. Looking good. 👍

Thank you both for sharing this and enabling a documented solution. Cheers! 🙂 📝

Give it a try, see if you like. Plus -- you get the extra features of Glitch-Social in both of those.

I have been making formatted posts there, and it's night and day difference.

Lovely for any serious work, where layout is important.

@hansw in an earlier conversation today, Ingo mentioned that his instance offers xmpp chat services.

Maybe use these (requires an account there)?

Snapshot of his reply mentioning this.

Older monitors, those of the CRT type, where much appreciated as heated shelves for a nice snooze.

@hansw @Sphinx The British have some of the prettiest spoken English all around. (Some of their regional variations are not that friendly, and outright hard to understand in some cases).

I love their ways, not only the spoken word, but the creative and unexpected turns of phrase -- so refreshing compared to the less creative US speech and writing.

@joaopinheiro@mastodon.social I completely understand.

I have a hard time anytime I need to post something meaningful in one of those limited instances.

But you could still consider a nice Glitch-Social instance for an account -- mine at Muensterland.social has a 5,000 character maximum, which is plenty. I am quite happy there, it's a small instance and you are welcome to come and sign up.

muensterland.social/about for details.

@rgx@muensterland.social is now my Publisher's account and is working quite well for me.

Another good Glitch-Social, a small instance too, is kafuka.me/about -- the admin, Tom, had a chat with me and was convinced to raise the local limit to 1,500 characters.

His instance is well maintained and he will be delighted to get good users who add posts to the local Feed.

Really nice server setup -- responsive, kick ass experience. Self Hosted so there's less costs to keep it going.

Server specs :

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8- (16) @ 3.900GHz
HDD: 2TB in RAID configuration
RAM: 64 GB

Great software, Glitch-Social goodness plus Koyu's personal touches all over the place.

@realcaseyrollins

Boss sees the clear advantage, and has a test instance for getting used to it and considering a migration.

Our hosting costs are high and getting worse -- this might help a lot.

More responsive and less hardware requirements == lower hosting costs indeed.

He needs to see if the database can be imported in Pleroma, and then offer a temp test instance for the userbase to try. With the MastodonFE front end it should be an easy transition to anyone.

Plus he wants all his extras, the ones added to this instance already; that complicates things somewhat.

But there's movement in that direction, the ship is turning. Happy to report that! 🚢

@freemo

@freemo I am really looking forward to the Ma St O Do N reaction to Pl Er O Ma though. 😜
