@snow At Mastodon, I think it is difficult to eliminate only the NSFW image itself (I feel that there was a function that the administrator can keep the media flowing from a specific server as a link only display.). I think it is easier for individuals to do MUTE OR BLOCK itself for each account or server themselves (The example in the image I didn't do, I like it.).

(This is a personal postscript) 

((And if you want to remove them all blocked_domains etc, it takes a lot of time if you use your own PHP script etc. (I think that you could not import over an empty list). If you're allowed to do that, just recreate your account.))

About the function of blocked_domains 

(Regarding the reply story, I blocked 1101 domains to use FedTL with cloud.qoto.org/s/faRJSySk9PZoP now. Importing from this file to here is very dangerous! Because the function of blocked_domains is not only disappear from the FTL, but it also prevents any communication from all accounts in the domains you do not follow before running it. And after doing so, they are forcibly unfollows automatically. Maybe according to the feeling I tried)

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

The instance is back up. Consider it beta right now as im still testing to see if everything works. But everything looks good so far. The other suite of servers will be coming up throughout the week most likely.

Go snatch up an account here: cloud.qoto.org

As always it is free, open, and your data will be 100% private

PS accounts may need moderator approval. Quotas will be increased on request.,

* You CAN run more than one instance of Pinafore. Not by opening another tab into the same website :

the default is pinafore.social

* BUT -- if you know of another site hosting a copy of Pinafore, you CAN open that one. It will be a new account, it doesn't know of any of your already stored credentials or preferences.

* but now you can keep them running with one instance in one tab, a diff one on another tab.

@puzzl For using the Discourse Forum and the NextCloud service, you just need to sign up for them -- each is a separate account from the Mastodon instance, unfortunately. We suggest you use the same name as you use in Mastodon, so people can recognize you more easily.

* Discourse forum is at : discourse.qoto.org/

* NextCloud is at : cloud.qoto.org/apps/registrati

@puzzl Hello and welcome to Qoto -- I am glad you like the place are are enjoying it. 😃

I like the Dark Theme, and run it in full screen on my laptop. With a nice add-on for Firefox called "Collapsed Mastodon" it uses all of the screen - as shown in this screenshot I am taking now.

Nice to meet you! is so great.
I like using "Federated timeline" with hidden domains in "QOTO Default Theme" or "Material Theme (dark)" very much (like a image. In addition, Twitter button is addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/ ).
Furthermore, I am interested in "NextCloud" and "Discourse" of qoto.org/about/more .
I don't know the details yet, But Many Thanks !

It may not be helpful, I have run the following script of PHP on CRON regularly (Only once every 30 minutes). 

@sbjohnsrpi Your thoughts are very interesting.
I've deleted all my posts with the PHP script below.
(I referred to docs.joinmastodon.org/client/i .)
<!-- pawoo.php from here -->
<?php $atoken = "--header 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'";
$myhost= 'pawoo.net'; $epoint='/api/v1/accounts/110167/statuses';
$queryo = "curl -X POST -sS ${myhost}${epoint} -d 'limit=30' ${atoken}";
$jarray = json_decode(`$queryo`, JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY);
foreach ($jarray as $key => $value) {
$epoint_='/api/v1/statuses/'. $value['id'];
$queryo = "curl --request DELETE -sS ${myhost}${epoint_} ${atoken}";
var_dump(`$queryo`);
}
?><!-- pawoo.php to here -->
(Sorry for the dirty code!)

So I was recently asked why I prefer to use free and open source software over more conventional and popular proprietary software and services.

A few years ago I was an avid Google user. I was deeply embedded in the Google ecosystem and used their products everywhere. I used Gmail for email, Google Calendar and Contacts for PIM, YouTube for entertainment, Google Newsstand for news, Android for mobile, and Chrome as my web browser.

I would upload all of my family photos to Google Photos and all of my personal documents to Google Drive (which were all in Google Docs format). I used Google Domains to register my domain names for websites where I would keep track of my users using Google Analytics and monetize them using Google AdSense.

I used Google Hangouts (one of Google’s previous messaging plays) to communicate with friends and family and Google Wallet (with debit card) to buy things online and in-store.

My home is covered with Google Homes (1 in my office, 1 in my bedroom, 1 in the main living area) which I would use to play music on my Google Play Music subscription and podcasts from Google Podcasts.

I have easily invested thousands of dollars into my Google account to buy movies, TV shows, apps, and Google hardware devices. This was truly the Google life.

Then one day, I received an email from Google that changed everything.

“Your account has been suspended”

Just the thing you want to wake up to in the morning. An email from Google saying that your account has been suspended due to a perceived Terms of Use violation. No prior warning. No appeals process. No number to call. Trying to sign in to your Google account yields an error and all of your connected devices are signed out. All of your Google data, your photos, emails, contacts, calendars, purchased movies and TV shows. All gone.

I nearly had a heart attack, until I saw that the Google account that had been suspended was in fact not my main personal Google account, but a throwaway Gmail account that I created years prior for a project. I hadn’t touched the other account since creation and forgot it existed. Apparently my personal Gmail was listed as the recovery address for the throwaway account and that’s why I received the termination email.

Although I was able to breathe a sigh of relief this time, the email was wake up call. I was forced to critically reevaluate my dependence on a single company for all the tech products and services in my life.

I found myself to be a frog in a heating pot of water and I made the decision that I was going to jump out.

Leaving Google

Today there are plenty of lists on the internet providing alternatives to Google services such as this and this. Although the “DeGoogle” movement was still in its infancy when I was making the move.

The first Google service I decided to drop was Gmail, the heart of my online identity. I migrated to Fastmail with my own domain in case I needed to move again (hint: glad I did, now I self host my email). Fastmail also provided calendar and contacts solutions so that took care of leaving Google Calendar and Contacts.

Here are some other alternatives that I moved to:

Gmail → Fastmail → Self-hosted (via Cloudron)
Google Contacts → Fastmail → Nextcloud Contacts
Google Calendar → Fastmail → Nextcloud Calendar
Google Search → Bing → DuckDuckGo
Google Maps → Bing Maps → OpenStreetMaps and OsmAnd
Google Analytics → Matomo Analytics
Google Drive → Nextcloud Files
Google Photos → Nextcloud Files/Gallery
Google Docs → Collabora Office (Nextcloud integration) and LibreOffice
Google Play Music → Spotify / Plex → Spotify / Jellyfin
Google Play Movies/TV → Plex → Jellyfin
Google Play Audiobooks/Books → Audible/Kindle
Google Play Store (apps) → F-Droid / Aurora Store
Google Android → Lineage OS → Ubuntu Touch on PinePhone (coming soon?)
Google’s Android Apps → Simple Mobile Tools
Google Chrome → Mozilla Firefox
Google Domains → Hover
Google Hangouts → Matrix and Nextcloud Talk
Google Allo → Signal
Google Podcasts → PocketCasts → AntennaPod
Google Newsstand → RSS
Google Wallet → PayPal and Cash App
Google Voice →Ting Mobile

Migrating away from Google was not a fast or easy process. It took years to get where I am now and there are still several Google services that I depend on: YouTube and Google Home.

Eventually, my Google Home’s will grow old and become unsupported at which point hopefully the Mycroft devices have matured and become available for purchase. YouTube may never be replaced (although I do hope for projects like PeerTube to succeed) but I find the compromise of using only one or two Google services to be acceptable.

At this point losing my Google account due to a mistake in their machine learning would largely be inconsequential and my focus has shifted to leaving Amazon which I use for most of my shopping and cloud services.

The reason that I moved to mostly FOSS applications is that it seems to be the only software ecosystem where everything works seamlessly together and I don’t have to cede control to any single company. Alternatively I could have simply split my service usage up evenly across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple but I don’t feel that they would have worked as nicely together.

Overall I’m very happy with the open source ecosystem. I use Ubuntu with KDE on all of my computers and Android (no GApps) on my mobile phone. I’ve ordered the PinePhone “Brave Heart” and hope to one day be able to use it or one of its successors as a daily driver with Ubuntu Touch or Plasma Mobile.

I don’t want to give the impression that I exclusively use open source software either, I do use a number of proprietary apps including: Sublime Text, Typora, and Cloudron.

Robert MacKay's Chaos Machine. Its configuration space is a genus three surface. The dynamics of the machine are equivalent to geodesic flow on the surface, which is Anosov, hence chaotic.
