*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@qoto.org

** Instance Recommendation : **

I don't have an account there, and am not familiar with it, other than reading their About pages, and seeing the admin successfully take on a migration from plain main stream Mastodon to a newer and more Feature rich Glitch Soc instance.

This migration seems complete, the site is up and responsive, so consider Koyu.Space -- even the name is cool. :)

Plus -- Important for me, European located, EU Hosted and under EU privacy and other laws.

(Not the usual US ones)

https://koyu.space/about/more

Not only they have a mastodon instance, but other services as well; see their uptime here:

https://up.koyu.space/

...and what does the Enhanced, Rich Text post looks like here in a Mastodon instance?

if you Copy the post link, and Search for it inside mastodon, it will open the remote post, and display it within Mastodon's own client environment.

I am attaching a Screenshot of the Nice Pleroma created post, MarkDown formatted (as show in the previous screenshot) -- and how it looks here.

Plain Jane. Pitiful, but ** NOTHING Broken **... 😛

#QOTO #mastodon #Pleroma #MarkDown #RichText is #Better

Highlighting something which I think is absolutely UNIQUE in Husky, compared to other mobile clients :

- Markdown support with WYSIWYG editor

So people whose accounts are in instances running Progressive, more Advanced software, with support Pleroma's Mastodon API extensions (at this point Pleroma and Glitch Social instances) CAN use either:

* Plain Text.
* OR enhanced text formatting, via either MarkDown or BBcode tags.

These are supported in the Client, in a GUI environment, and will display the Rich Formatted text in the instances all over the Fediverse which support this feature.

That does NOT break or mangle the toot content in plan-vanilla Mastodon ones (majority at the moment), which simply STRIPS the format tags and display plain text version.

Examples of a post shown in screenshots at a Pleroma instance and in a mastodon timeline are attached.

I originally wrote the toot here at Qoto, then copied it into a Pleroma account to show the possibilities -- I find the image should give a good idea on how much BETTER it can look with a little added Formatting love.

** Ever heard about Husky ?

* Husky is a fork of Tusky that aimed to support Pleroma's Mastodon API extensions and some ideas that I may come up with.

* Tusky is quote, unquote,

... a beautiful Android client for [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon). Mastodon is an ActivityPub federated social network. That means no single entity controls the whole network, rather, like e-mail, volunteers and organisations operate their own independent servers, users from which can all interact with each other seamlessly.

* Main changes so far

- Emoji reactions support
- Removed attachment limits for Pleroma
- Support for attaching anything on Pleroma
- Support for changing OAuth application name
- Markdown support with WYSIWYG editor
- Support for extended accounts fields, so you can see who is admin or moderator on your instance
- Subscribing support to annoy you with incoming notification from every post
- Support for seen notifications to less annoy you
- “Reply to” feature that allows to jump to replied status, useful for hellthreading ;)

...and much more. See the Husky home at : https://git.mentality.rip/FWGS/Husky
Bigger emojis!

Maybe someday #mastodon will support text formatting like #GlitchSoc and #Pleroma already do?

It improves not only visual impact, but communication of ideas by judicious use of #Markdown as desired.

For me, it's an important advantage. Both alternative platforms support Markdown as a user option in Toot editor. Please? And thank you.

#Pleroma is way ahead in UI and Features, Mastodon pales in comparison.

Resources use, much less.

Easier installation and maintenance. Better new admin installation guides. #QOTO

Corporate Networks are unwieldly morons.

Not like poor Beast, a lovely Cat whose account gets the Rough Treatment that ABUSERS and such (DJT) Don't GET.

Create an Account on Mastodon, Beast -- there are many Feline lovers there too.

These are Persephone (near the notebook) and Pixel. Persephone is the sweet one, always looking for space on your lap. Pixel is hyper, always playing and playfighting. We say that he is a little panther. 🐘Gargron@mastodon.social #catsofmastodon

Oldie but Goldie.

Read the books, folks. Competent people who worked in this so called "administration".

The Great Pretender, manages to fool a lot of people. Enough already.

** Trump Again Forced to Remind America He Is ‘a Very Intelligent Person’ **

Partial Quote :

"Donald Trump’s mental capabilities, or lack thereof, have been in the news recently. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly called him a “fucking moron,” and then pointedly refused to deny having said it.

More recently, the Washington Post reports, “lawmakers in both parties increasingly consider him an untrustworthy, chronically inconsistent and easily distracted negotiator.”
