That is actually an intriguing layout -- way better than mastodon for example. Uses my wide display 100%.
Call me impressed that my brand new account avatar is already seen here at qoto; while my FAB one took ages to federate. Neat.
* Screenshots of Alternative Pleroma Front Ends
1 and 2 : SoapBox FE, by Alex Gleason, a project still in progress but can be seen and tested already at some places. Light and Dark modes shown. https://jaeger.website/
3 : BloatFE running on Expired.Mentality.RIP instance, one of the 3 front ends supported there.
Thanks to @igel and @a1batross for the service.
The Great Computer Programming Challenge
Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge.
They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight.
Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show his work. Visibly upset, Satan cries and says, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.”
“Very well,” says God, “let us see if Jesus has fared any better.”
Jesus presses a key, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers.
Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?”
God chuckles, “Everybody knows… Jesus saves.”
I think it would interesting, I love the subject. One of my Professors, many years ago, was in this area -- and I can see myself doing it too.How boring, Jornal citing and Academia career tracking it would be, I don't know.
I wouldn't be looking for a job, more for the knowledge and research. But it would be very interesting, I think.. Maybe... 😉
@pschwede Thank you!!
@pschwede About more for the instance lists this :
>> " NOTE: If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at muffinista@botsin.space, muffinista@cybre.space or by emailing colin at muffinlabs.com"
so that's possible if desired. No list of blocks in https://botsin.space/about/more
@pschwede I have noticed a block, yes.
Don't think it is in this side, probably at theirs.
I have a feeling that you are right -- although in the Preferences panel there's this :
https://qoto.org/settings/export
...and the text is "The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software."
I don't think the head developer of mastodon wants the functionality of people's data coming along with them, and importable as needed.
Would be nice to know for sure, if there's some viewer at least we could use to access this.
That is wonderful, it's just Mastodon that has this rather anal attitude about it.
>> "absturztaube" is German for "crash dove"
Thank you, but neither me nor Bing can figure out what "crash dove" means in English.

@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social
and I checked in and added a follow to Puniko - hers seems to be a nice Pleroma instance, with SO MUCH more than the vanilla masto with 500 chars Toots allowed (and unbending admins when you request some more)
Will visit and check out Facilities -- the front page has some hints of a good place to be!
* 60, 000 (60 Thousand!!) characters limit, take that, Eugen.
* choice of the Pleroma UI/Front End -or- the more mastodon user friendly Mastodon FE (which is the Elite Glitch-Social variety -- so lots of new and improved features compared to masto.social variety)
* As in ALL Pleroma instances, rich formatted text is a Human Right -- and I absolutely love the posts I have been creatign with #MarkDown at Glitch-social instances I have recently joined.
Another pinprick to Eugen, lol... Don't gimme what I want, I am out, friend.
Kudos, thank you and appreciation to Puniko!
@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social
Thanks SO Much -- I had seen this page, had it open and lost it. couldn''t find, and I looked all over the browser history.
Definitively usign it as a reference - I am preparing a Suggested/recommended Pleroma instances blog post as requested by various people. Thanks Casey, I had given up on finding it again.
Today I discovered and joined a new instance. Amazing how we cross paths and discover things at random points. Serendipity, is a Thing.
This instance is called Expired Mentality, RIP.
Source of the name? I will quote :
" yep, thanks to hysterical Gab dev for this name. https://youtu.be/TveK9Sfwtvo?t=96 "
LOL.... 😜
