A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users.

4. About messages that are kind of private, but you don't want them in your Profile Toots List?

You can get that result, some privacy and NOT showing in your profile to a default or anonymous user - - by using the * Followers Only * (closed, locked padlock icon!).

- Your Followers will see the message in their Home feeds.

- They WILL get a notification if their usernames are included.

- They WILL ALSO be able to see those messages later, if visiting your profile.

2. If you have friends in other servers and simply wish to chit chat with them - mostly, not the local users.

This can be done without clutter, if you select 'Unlisted' , the open padlock icon too.

Insert their @ usernames, and they WILL get notified and respond to you, all without cluttering Public timelines.

People who Follow you WILL see Unlisted messages -- they are NOT Private !! 😮

3. Need Privacy?

Use the Direct Message privacy level, and it's like an email - from you to the people included in the message ONLY.

Will not show in any followers feeds, or on your personal profile!

A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users. 

Folks, good morning, hope you all are well. A personal request of mine.

Please consider trying to reduce the amount of General posting, as we have so many short messages with momentary thoughts that more serious posts are getting buried.

A couple of things to suggest, which I think could help:

1. If you post a topic, and follow up with a reply to it soon, talking to yourself with an update, etc.

You can greatly help reduce clutter in the Local timeline (and all the federated ones) if you set the privacy level of the Second and further messages as 'Unlisted'.

They WILL go out, and anyone interested in the first post will see the following replies. These replies will NOT appear in the Local, Home (for your Followers) or Federated feeds.

Keeping it simple - - First post, you can use the Globe icon, Public setting.

Replies to follow - - Use Unlisted, the one with the Open Padlock icon. See illustration below.

@spike And the Author of the work is at: treesinthewoods.tumblr.com/pos

Shuping Liu and Jackie Krasnokutskaya get the kudos.

Great work.

Google DID NOT find this - it only shows numerous unattributed copies on pinterest.

Bing is my go to search engine, and it's thanks to it that I located all of the above info.

@spike Thank you. I took the challenge and searched for it (which I usually do if a post is interesting and lacks source or details).

There seem to be a lot of short, one liner cryptic messages too, some of those take ages to make sense of.

No wonder they may go without responses. But that is a large number of messages for the number of users, yes.

and it's a lively Local feed too.

It is a very vulnerable area, in a fight you might be ripped open by an opponent's claws if your belly is exposed.

I think that's why they react in defense mode, most of the time, instinctively.

That is a good idea!

I have tons of individual cats who I follow at birdsite, some are nicer than others, the way their accounts are handled.

Don't like the poor kitties with ridiculous outfits, but there are many wonderful pictures.

There’s a durability to older technology, aside from that capacitor debacle from the 90s. I wonder if older tech in some form will be one of few functioning remnants decades or a century from now

There’s a project called Collapse OS to “Bootstrap post-collapse technology” collapseos.org

Basically tools and programs for the Z80, a proven workhorse for decades available as scavenged parts by the millions

Very #Cyberpunk

BTW this is a paraphrase of a quote by Shodan from System Shock 2
