* Things I would love to see. *

A recent post in Discourse, described the idea : a new feature for Mastodon.

Allowing authors of Long Form, long text articles to choose to Collapse the text.

Which would work similar to what a Content Warning toot does -- EXCEPT, and this is important, it would NOT Blur the image in the post. (which a CW post always does.)

Why bother? Because :

* it looks nicer in the timelines. Some people are not interested in long posts.
* Visually prettier too, for all users.
* Toot Title is displayed, as in a CW toot warning line.

And the image and the Title can be carefully selected to attract a Reader, who can expand the post if desired.

My full proposal is at : discourse.qoto.org/t/mastodon-

And on my Blog : write.tedomum.net/rgx/mastodon

@Gargron please consider. Thank you.

And it's but also or ... In fact, I am late in posting this, a pretty Blog version of my original Discourse Forum --discourse.qoto.org/t/cat-posti post. And now it's even.

So I thought -- why not post a neat Referral to our feline loving Fediverse accounts that are present in these hash tags ?

That is the Topic of today's Blog -- write.tedomum.net/rgx/fedivers

[ OP, much prettier : muensterland.social/@rgx/10433 ]

A much prettier version of this post is at our Discourse Forums, Pinafore Discussions :

discourse.qoto.org/t/pinafore-

...as Pretty as my Glitch-Social post, and actually better -- as it allows in-line images. 👍

## Pinafore does many things well

I have mentioned many times, in forums, conversations, threads in Fediverse.

Now I prepared a presentation, putting forward a Request for Comments and possible adoption of a new Feature which I think is important.

Today's Blog post is all about it.

## Proposing a new Feature to Mastodon

The core idea is simple -- to allow a user to post Long Text, while collapsing it for display in the various timelines. For aesthetic reasons, as it will look better in a crowded TimeLine listing.

## The Essential of this Request ?

...That I can see a Long Form post, exactly like Pinafore now displays it.

Yes, Nolan did it, again. Thanks for another nice aspect of Pinafore.

Snapshot of This Topic - qoto.org/@Phaedrus/10433127194 -- as shown in Pinafore, as part of the Local Feed. Attached below.

...which is EXACTLY what I am looking for.

The post contains an image, and in the Local Timeline is compacted to a dense and still meaningful form

Well done, I say.

OP : muensterland.social/@rgx/10433

The Pinafore Discussions Forum is now open : discourse.qoto.org/c/PROJ/PINA

BBC News channel theme is really neat. And now becoming an internet sensation.

And I just discovered that Anatoly is here in the Fediverse too -- I follow him on Twitter, and enjoy the many posts, games, screenshots, pixel art.

* Mastodon - Collapsed Text, Exposed Image ? *

* Proposing a new Feature to Mastodon

This post intends to highlight a proposal for a Mastodon Feature enhancement. It was originally posted as a Toot here : muensterland.social/@rgx/10431, and later copied in stripped plain text format at Qoto : qoto.org/@design_RG/1043145400.

The core idea is simple -- to allow a user to post Long Text, while collapsing it for display in the various timelines. For aesthetic reasons, as it will look better in a crowded TL listing.

Today is a very special day. It was exactly 10 years ago today, my human brought me home to live with her. I was only eight weeks old and very small. I’ve come a long way since then.
