** Pleroma - Finding the Good Instances, part 1 **
I was pleasantly surprised by the interest generated by my "Discover Pleroma. An alternative to Mastodon" -- https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/discover-pleroma page. Various people contacted me, interested in trying out Pleroma, and asking for some recommended instances.
* Is it important, which instance you are in ? *
Yes, I believe so. And wrote a blog page about that *which is currently my most popular one* -- "Is it Important, which Instance you are in?" https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/is-it-important-which-instance-you-are-in)
This will be Part 1, with detailed suggestions on finding and evaluating Instances, via Fediverse.network or Federation.info sites. I will walk thru the exact criteria I used on a personal search about 10 days ago, and the nice results found.
Part 2 will be separate to keep page size reasonable -- and will directly and clearly list Recommended Instances. Writing and posting it next!
As usual, I love Writing, and this is Long Form prose. Lavishly illustrated, References and links included. A Web Magazine page I am proud of.

** Pleroma -- Instances Suggestions & Recommendations ? **
I did not forget, and am working on it.

For those of us who love to watch the Blinken Lights.
Amazing. Live system stats, updating, and oh so pretty.

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.”

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!
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.... 😜

"Unsure how to structure your blog posts? Here’s a quick guide to get you started!
Writing a blog post people will read isn’t rocket science, yet it does take some skill. As I work with writers new to blogging, many are stumped by how to go about structuring a blog post."
A nice read, recommend it for anyone interested in writing and blogging in special. Thank you, Rachel!
@design_RG Well I hope you leave your profile behind as an alt at least.
To see you leave for good would truly be the end of an era 😳
30 Days Notice....
Banned for Markdown Love, and getting it.
Various places offer it, right now.
Moving, it's not a Rent unpaid issue, just general dissatisfaction with Mastodon's lack of features, slow evolution. etc.

A recent conversation, which started naturally once I saw Klimi's post - https://qoto.org/@k11m1/104185799277317896 :
> *sigh*.... Why code can't run without errors on the first go....
My response to this simple statement was a long reply -- https://qoto.org/@design_RG/104186568289439361 , which I thoroughly enjoyed writing, and now forms the body of this page.
