Wonderful.

I thank the stars who guided me here, a brand new user in fediverse very recently, and finding my home at a place with this very essential control -- I had noted it and used it to block an instance I object to already, days ago. Made a public post and explained it to other users too, because I think it's a great tool to keep things sane.

Kudos, Dr Freemo. This is first class work. 🥂

Part of the problem, a big one, is the parent's themselves being frayed and distracted by incessant media and notifications, imo.

It is a real concern indeed. WE have too much information, and struggle to cope. A lot of it is worthless, some might say planted for distracting people from more serious issues.

Sometimes it seems that things would improve if we lost some of the current deluge, massive communications overload.

Great article on this from The Atlantic!!

@freemo @mngrif @iamo Just found it, was a long way down the notifications thread. Busy day and night yesterday! 😺

@freemo @mngrif @iamo 😺 I am infering gender by the flag listing about sex. I found all of them quite amusing and cool, the 'flag' one particularly. 😉

@Rovine @mngrif @freemo @raining_night

OMG, gld to see that I am not the only one to care for this issue. 😺

And thannks for confirming my impressions so far, mngrif - the only clients I have found supporting longer posts are this Web interface (built in, mastodon instance hosted); and the Fedilab Lite client I tested and reviewed last night.

RN -- see my thread about Fedilab, including the option of FREE downloads. And the Lite version, which is NOT on Google Play at all.

I was able to post ~700 chars long post from it, during testing. The settings panel allows a post up to 3,000 chars max.

I am planning to somehow ask the developers of Pinafore (which is FAST and pretty, nice) to maybe include an option on it's settings, allowing user to input a Higher post limit, in characters/Bytes.

I had a conversation with someone and she mentioned some software on the instance server, which might allow larger posts in the clients --- glitchsoc if I am not mistaken.

Do we use it here? Is it configured to allow larger client posts? Is this possible?

Fedilab Lite seemed nice, but I can't post from a mobile and do the volume and length I am used to; it's just too inneficient. Ocasionally, ok, but my laptop or desktops can run circles around mobiles.

@freemo @mngrif @iamo Good morning friends, I am back in action, first cup of coffee on hand.

I am glad iamo has changed her mind, we had some discussions over her concerns last night, I responded to some of the posts via DM. (pronoum choice guided by iammo's profile content)

I did she a crude, obnoxious person respond on a thread where we discussed the democratic candidates and 2020 election. This 'person' irked me to the point of muting, so I don't know it that continued. I can post a link if needed.

There seemed to be a quite personal attack coming from that guy (only a man could be so nasty, me thinks. Piles shame on my own gender). From the gist of it, I would say this guy had interactions with iamo in the past, and two accounts at least he posted from, posted a screenshot with two profile pics and names.

I am glad too that iamo has decided to trust the administration here to handle things without heavy hand, but still compassion and sensitivity.

Good morning, afternoon for those in Europe.

Who sees What, Where does my post Show?

A good guide is on the Privacy page: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/usage/privacy/

The page also has good explanations on muting or blocking users if needed.

Good read!

@amangupta Oh, you are very welcome.

You might find background information in the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, one of the largest in the country. They do have many articles in English as well as the native Portuguese.Here:

@amangupta Here, found it. 😺

The first line, we should mention, was said live at the National Parliament (Congresso) and widely reported by media.

Directed at another member of parliament from the Worker's Party (PT in portuguese)

@SelectElderberry That sounds like some nice experimenting, William. I do have a Fiio and enjoy the sound, it drives full sized headphones well.

Plus can be an external DAC and sound card for a laptop, and very portable.

Vynil, was all I had in older times, and the maintenance to keep them clean wasn't very fun. 😄

@_lunawinters No, not at all, Aaditi.

It's really an insider's joke, and nobody commented, I assumed they did not see it or didn't get it. Thre's a popular saying among people developing software. Could even be used as an excuse, or be legit.

"It's a Feature, not a Bug. " 🐛 🐜

Like the license plate says. 😉 On a VW Bug.

@iamo just send the admin a request @freemo

@iamo ok, it's your choice, but there is a lot of good people and things. Leaving because of the bad apples gives them power, they forced you out.

I have blocked a large domain that is particularly upsetting for me.

So nerdy or obscure that no one has got it yet? pitty.

* not a bug...

@iamo Very few instances are excluded, yes. Some pretty shocking images sometimes on the Federated feed, but you can block an instance if you like, on your own profile.

@susi123 Thank you it's night time here now, but tomorrow morning is on the way. 👋
