@Rovine A good question, I hadn't even noticed it wasn't included.

That page has so many good links to follow up on!

Good point, I had made a post here about Fedilab and Fedilab Lite, getting them from F-Droid, before.

NOT Working. 😞

Visited domain site, and it's offline.

Found this morning. Many good resources, all linked from this page.

Check your Birdsite account, and the Toot should be there.

Screen capture confirms Success.

...as a simpler toot net has Success!

Watch the Toot Editor for the extension's post report. Here showing one that made it there. 🆗

alas, the message above, my first test -- did not work.

Twitter returns an Authenticate error message. I think they block the content really.

Cross-post you Toot directly from Mastodon to Twitter, aka Birdsite? *Easy* with browser extension.

* Firefox one here: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/birdsite/

* Chrome if you prefer: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/birdsite/lfmfhaopllgidldpmifdcjdckdggdjaj

Clients for Mastodon, Pleroma instances? Mac, Linux, Windows supported.

* Whalebird * has some nice features -- like shortcuts for really quick replies, resizable Feed window widths.

@realcaseyrollins The article does mention many varied concerns, one being that a centralized, globally active banking entity of this kind could allow someone's funds to be blocked and traced internationally. Handy for powerful governments, which could starve some opposing party simply by freezing their assets.

Combine that with FB's known sneakiness and past incidents of manipulation, selling people's information to private operators (and this being used in the 2016 campaign, see Cambridge Analytica).

I don't trust crypto currencies as they are, there are so many incidents of irrecoverable loses thru hacks, exchanges going bankrupt with hundreds of millions in client assets evaporating. And the price manipulation reported by trade analysis in 2017, when BTC hit huge peaks, then dropped substantially.

A lot of people got wiped out, many who had bought crypto using credit cards and debt.

@realcaseyrollins The hegemony of the US Dollar as the major Reserve currency is a tremendous advantage for the country.

And mr. T complains about trade unfairness? 😛

We need more widely accepted reserve currencies, of the real kind, and not under the control of a sinister corporation, like FB, which is under share votes controlled by one single man.

Hello Iris F., and welcome to Qoto.

If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

I felt it looked like you are moving content from another place. 😉

Not sure if you need help with using mastodon or not, the guide linked above is quite good if you need it.

Enjoy your day!

A long and rich article which Dr Dejahang posted here yesterday. ( https://qoto.org/@drdej555/103239575953234069 )I read thru and he covers a wide variety of implications. A good read, requires focus.
