@design_RG @a1batross I would like to try a build, but cannot find a link. Can either of you guys please provide it?

@Yann @a1batross I have discovered that for some threads you can't mute the conversation until you respond to one of the posts.

So I successfully moved expired.mentality.rip from one server to another. :blobcatgoogly:

This a bit faster for me but because I changed DNS entry I now have to until every instance server flushes it's DNS cache...
I just can't receive any events from another instances. :)

@design_RG @a1batross

I couldn't find a link in the settings tab but deduced from my previous experiences in ost.social that the Mastodon FE link could be found here: expired.mentality.rip/web/time

@realcaseyrollins
It is a nice instance to see what Pleroma is like, which is really interesting. The controls it allows a user, you can change not only any of the different element colours in the UI, but even the Font style -- serif, sans, monospaced. Or specify one you prefer yourself -- I looked at it with Verdana, which is an Enhanced san-serif font (similar to Arial but better), and it looks pretty.

Where else can you get this kind of control at the user level? Not for everyone, but I like this option being there for power users.

And the Toot size limit is 65 K characters too; something I have begged some mastodon admins, and they refused. (ex-Twitter people, they don't see a need and mostly post one liners themselves.)

@a1batross

innuendo, sex 

@alyx @wowaname

Yeah, it does seem that the education system is going...all in. 😏

I am quite sure between Wikipedia and Teen Vogue anybody can get a pretty good grasp of "safe sex"

sex ed 

Even if you ain't banging like a jackhammer, this knowledge will still be useful after high school.

sex ed 

What the system * should * be doing is teaching skills like applying for jobs, budgeting and time management, which would show the student how to provide for a child.

sex ed 

If the school system was really about teaching people things they need to know, sex ed wouldn't be a part of High School. Between parents, WebMD, Teen Vogue and PornHub, kids are already gonna figure out how to have sex and probably are gonna be doing it. The only goal I see of sex ed is to make sure the kid knows how to kill a baby so they can stay in school.

I was gonna do a rant about sex ed in public high schools but I'm too tired at this point and am going to bed now 😴

@design_RG @a1batross This looks fascinating...if it supports Push notis like does it could prove to be a better client!

** Things to Keep an Eye out For **

A client for mobile devices that support the Enhanced Text format that Pleroma users enjoy in their instances.

We here in mastodon world, can always wish for, but they have it, NOW.

Mobile clients still not supporting these extensions, but I was just chatting with an admin of a Pleroma node who is building a fork of Tusky -- which will offer that and more.

Not released yet, he's waiting for Tusky release v.10, since his code is based on development versions of Tusky itself.

Thanks @a1batross !! Look forward to seeing it!

@a1batross Worth mentioning that GlitchSoc instances ( cutting edge branch of Mastodon development, various cool instances running it right now) , GS instances already support MarkDown formatting in text.

Which looks very pretty in the GS instances, and does NOT mess up or break normal Mastodon nodes. The same message shows as a plain Jane, no makeup, girl next door on a Monday morning version. lol...

Example below? GlitchSoc posted, with MarkDown rich text, and viewed in Pinafore client.
