To the many Cat lover friends in Twitter, I would like to offer a snapshot and a link to a really nice Gallery - which a Japanese administrator set up to display some of the gorgeous cat photos he saw recently.

catgram.jp/gallery/

Nancy is a lovely Tuxedo, a star along with her sister Pickle.

inaugurating my new Japanese instance account.

Alan Turing bday, suicide mention 

Alan Turing was born today

He was gay and neurodivergent, famous for 'Turing machine,' a model for modern/general purpose computers

he was also chemically castrated by his government for being gay (instead of prison time), and later committed suicide at 41

Rest in Power, Alan :heart_cybre:

* Mastodon - Options for Moving an Account ? *

*** "Take your information and do what you want with it." ***

That suggestive text sounds like Freedom of movement is granted and important, doesn't it? That is directly copied from Documents at JoinMastodon.org -docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov.

The truth is less rosy though. There are easy and reliable ways to :

* Export the list of people you Follow.
* Export lists of people you Mute (hiding their posts from your view)
* Export lists of people and instances you Blocked (barring their content reaching you).

But, sadly -- your personal data, all the Toots you spent time in, the images and videos contained in them. Not easily accessible.

If an instance dies (and it does happen), it's all Lost. We need better. Facebook is now offering a wonderful User Data Export tool.

* Pleroma - Finding the Good Instances, part 2 *

*** As Requested; Recommended Instances Suggestions ***

I was pleasantly surprised by the interest generated by my Discover Pleroma. An alternative to Mastodon -- write.tedomum.net/rgx/discover page. Various people contacted me, interested in trying out Pleroma, and asking for some recommended instances.

So this page is intended to provide :

* some thoughts on why it is important, which instance you are in.
* general tips on looking up information for any Pleroma instance.
* and a list of recommended Pleroma instances for your consideration.

Staff had plans to get rid of my shelter box. I don’t think so. How could she? This box brought me here.

Heads Up.

For people using Qoto's Quote feature.

The post will look quite different everywhere than what you see here; as this is non-standard at this time (imported from Misskey Japanese instances, I believe.)

I had made a suggestion before, of adding an Image to a post (if the original contained one, just download it and reuse for Quoted post) -- as it looks rather poor otherwise.

Snapshot -- a local post with Quote, as seen in Pinafore client, and same as it looks everywhere else out there.

* Todon.nl - Admin Reacts to Polite Inquiries. *

***Surprises on Fediverse always.***

Like, this morning when I start visiting the various instances where I have accounts, friends, a presence.

And then I switch my *Pinafore client*, which is really useful for someone like me. *Easy to connect, one click instant switching*.

Except, it shows '*Internet Request Failed - Showing offline content*' when Todon.NL is the selected instance. A sign something is wrong, like the Net connection at our end being down, or even a remote server being offline for maintenance or other reason. That wasn't the case here though.

All the Details, plus *an official* ** Moving account announcement ** *for my current, main personal account*.
