#Wishlist for 2020 ?
@design_RG

I would like to see what this screenshot shows:

A post with RICH text formatting, here in Geoff's post a Quoted block, but GlitchSoc does support full MarkDown tags in Toots text.

Things like Bold, Italicized, Underlined text . Underlined links if desired - and more.

Web Clients that, like Pinafore already (see screenshot) support displaying this RICH formatting. Yes, Pinafore is awesome, thank you Nolan!
Pinafore's homepage is : pinafore.social
GlitchSoc is advanced, cutting edge Mastodon development. See it at : glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
or in person at an instance near you.
Screenshot below shows Geoff's post at Hackers Town -- hackers.town , which runs GlitchSoc.

But, wait - won't this BREAK in other Mastodon instances? Display UGLY formatting marks in line with the text? Nope.

See in a minute a screen shot of This post (pretty, here in GlitchSoc) as shown (Plain Jane) in a normal Masto instance. (kind of a let down, but no damage done)

Just found on hash in Twitter. End of October, less than two and a half months ago. User count, near 3,000.

Currently, over 6,500, and growing.

We are still looking for volunteers and talent to join Staff. A mod based in _Asia_ would be ideal for Time Zone coverage.

@Sphinx It's from the home heating, the air gets very dry and causes this small bleeding I think. Water drinking is good, yes. But here, it's water in the air that's missing, me thinks.

@OSUPREME Hello Obeda and welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse.

Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-gu

We also have another new users guide, posted here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

Casey Rollins made a video to explain the Fediverse, here :

"I made this video awhile back to help explain how the works."

Your first post above was nice and polite, but please take a look at our rules page - some types of posts need to be protected with a Content Warning, if of an Adult nature. The page is here : qoto.org/about/more/

Thank you!

Have a good day!

@Sphinx It's never a bad idea - to place your foot when starting. If the vehicle was in gear (more common for a standard) it might jolt forward, or backward if the reverse gear was engaged.

Older cars did not have this, and it did happen to people. Newer ones added a sensor and won't fire the starter without the brake pedal depressed.

@khird @azzurite

Some great replies there, thanks Kyle, well done!

You can visit their sites without having an account, instances usually have some posting exposed in their front doors. I did, looked around and was dismayed.

That was almost two months ago, and I immediately blocked their whole instance for my own account. Don't want to get annoyed here, but to enjoy meeting civil people, learning and building new things. hey are too destructive and corrosive for my taste.

@el_rafa If a user blocks a whole instance, it marks any content originating there as not desired fro this user. They won't see it, get replies or notifications from there.

It's possible that people there could post further, replies, or even new threads tagging the original Blocking user. He/she will not see them -- put people using other accounts would.

So the nastiness doesn't necessarily stops - a determined harasser could get an account in a different instance to circumvent the blocking. At that point, the user should appeal to their local moderation and admin team, who will go out and request a stop to the nonsense.

In extreme cases, when the user and the external instance admins are non-cooperative, the local instance might decide that this requires an Instance ban. A nuclear option, as it will block ALL users, good or bad, from that site.

This is unfortunately sometimes used in careless ways -- I wrote the blog post yesterday and made a pointed remark on how the admin of a Tech focused instance blocked us (ALL of Qoto.org, 6500 users and growing) without warning, consultation or notice.

I found that very petty and small minded. Disappointing. Posted a blog announce at his instance, which might lead to my account there being removed -- but certain things must be said.

Glad you liked our policy of no barriers unless there's trouble!

I personally block gab and related instances, simply out of despair at the nature of posts I saw there - scouting around their periphery, seeing the nastiness that shows in their open, public feeds. Not interested, TY.

@joey
formally, they are in the network.

But look at the stats -- 99.2% of all messages are In-House chat.

That's what caused my "Defederation" comment. They are not dialoguing with anyone.

Another gem found on fediverse.space.

The Stats for any instance include "Insularity" -- the percentage of all created messages in the instance which are directed to users in the same instance.

I had seen this mentioned, and now confirmed it.

This is what Defederation looks like. Not pretty.
