#Pinafore users, hello.

I have been reading the posts from this hashtag and collect some information for a new Forum post I am preparing.

Here at Qoto.org we now have a new Pinafore Discussions Forum, at our Discourse forums. I am the one who asked for it, since we have the forum in place and thought it could be useful to all users.

Question -- I collected a list of 4 independant instances of Pinafore, from posts made here earlier.

These instances are at todon.nl, x0r.be, cybre.space and brap.party.

With the two that Nolan runs, the normal one and the dev version, that's 6 on my list.

Any other instances, with public access granted, that you know of?

My post on this subject is here :

https://discourse.qoto.org/t/listing-of-known-pinafore-instances-you-can-connect-to/339

The Forums are publicly readable, responding requires an account login, which is open, free signup.

Thank you for any possible hints, comments.

@hansw we should pull @freemo into this too, for opinion and advice.

@hansw I understand the use case, yes.

And I think I have a better suggestion -- instead of posting the full content here, maybe a static webpage with the encrypted content.

And a message/toot here with a pointer to it.

This assumes the content is larger in size than the URL and justifies the effort.

Only curious people (who can't decipher it) or the intended recipients (who can) would see and use that short URL post. Minimal transfer and storage to achieve the desired results, I would think.

Again, I am speaking my opinions, but there could be people out in Fedi irked by transport and storage of undecypherable content.

@hansw The question is -- undeciferable content is worthless to anyone not having the decryption keys.

As I mentioned, a personal person to person message, here called a Direct Message or DM, that would be fine with encryption use. No complaints from me or other people.

Sending encrypted stuff on a public channel, copied all over the world -- that is a huge waste of transport and storage, imo.

@hansw Same toot, viewed via Pinafore at source, light formatting, includes H2 header.

@hansw just seached and took as snapshot.

This post from earlier today -- it shows here stripped off formatting, although I am happy the links are preserved properly.

@hansw And you can see the Bolded text on this mastodon server?

The ones I do with formatting, they would look plain text here.

They do benefit in some ways -- mastodon preserves the non-naked URLs as intended in my original posts.

@hansw Text passing thru? If it was in a DM, I don't see any problem.

Otherwise, to copy Encrypted text which one recipient can open, all over the world's servers is a huge waste of processing and storage space.

ProtonMail would do and not waste any resources.

@hansw >> If we now could only have a filter to simply drop messages that are posted in bold chars 😉

?? We don't get Bold or Italics formatting here, MastodonT do that.

Best I can do is a screenshot of a Markdown tailored post made elsewhere. 🙂

Or maybe you are referring to FULL CAPS ? (which are as awful as trump, agreed)

Public Service Announcement -- for Non-Cat Lovers

A gentle reminder that although cats are tremendously popular in the Fediverse (and all over the internet), I do recognize there's people who don't enjoy to see batches of feline photos coming from some users (me, others).

Fear not, dear Reader -- I have prepared a nice and detailed Guide to Filter out all those Posts of Cats I make.

See it right at the Top of my profile - or via this link :

https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104008634212142181

A little bit of work in the Preferences panel and all those pesky posts will not show for you anymore.

And the same skill applies to all kinds of other annoyances. Suggested tags ?

biden biden2020 trump trump2020 uspol etc.. enjoy.

#Filters #Content #Management for the #People

@hansw Yes, fully agreed. I have some filters to hide Freemo's Biden and US pol posts as well.

Which are not even pretty like the cats.

@hansw Thank you, Hans -- and I am glad we have the filters so I am not annoying you. I have lots of people who Favourite an Boost my cat posts, and add following, so there's interest.

With the Filters guide, I felt relieved to provide a way out if needed. 🙂

@hansw Pinned Post at top of his profile, even. First Class service, I say.

@hansw LOL...

>> Another example of following someone and not seeing his cat posts 🙂

Good thing the user in this case is kind enough to provide a Filters, HowTo eh?

A real event -- the huge spike in load on the server of a company, when some inane Tweet brings the multitudes wanting to sign up for service, NOW. Gimme, Now.

Happened, at Easter, and they had to take things offline, brutal load. The tweet in question, baffling how it can bring on such an onslaught. (included in post below)
