please boost my posts accidentally and also on purpose

i was gonna make a shitpost like “bottoms followback tops followforward” but i realized ‘followforward’ is actually a real thing and i do it all the time 🙈

by which i mean, when people interact with my toots (usually when they boost them) i’ll often give their account a follow

i used to be more shy. but eventually it kinda clicked that following/unfollowing is free so why not. and it’s kind of mind-blowing how many awesome brilliant and amazing fedi people i’ve met this way just on a whim 😳🦄🌈🚀

yall getting banned off twitter for being anime nazis meanwhile i got banned because of gdpr age restrictions iirc

QOTO.org new January 2020 Features Added - 2 - Bookmarks.

A much desired feature in Mastodon (which is already present and used in GlitchSoc instances) is to have "Bookmarks".

- a way to save the location of important content; your own, for reference and reuse, or someone else's neat, relevant post.

- Mastodon has the "Favourites" (thank you Eugen for the UK spelling!) which could theoretically do;

- but which is most commonly used as a "Like" button, I seen your post, thanks buddy, etc.

So we didn't have any good way to keep track of neat posts other than :

- maybe using a special hashtag; like @Full_marx 's ingenious #bookmarx idea.

- or laboriously copying the Toot URL and pasting it into a text file.

Fear not -- Like the GS elite, we now have Bookmarks in our instance. How to use them?

- Add a bookmark for any Toot, reply, etc - by simply selecting the little flag icon under it. (screenshot #1)

Access that Bookmark via the "Bookmarks" List in the right side panel of your Webclient (or somewhere else in a mobile client, it could vary.). (screenshot #2)

Back from doctor's visit.

Ear and sinus pain thing looks like it's just bad allergies. The doctor prescribed a steroid antihistamine. Also I went to school with her and she mentioned how my hair is much different than in high school when it was almost to my knees. lol

Hooray it's just bad allergies and not something serious!

Working on a cool space project (launching soon! 🚀) and noticed that @elementary@twitter.com's file manager puts checkered backgrounds on transparent rocket images automatically! Nice touch.

Here are Two screenshots showing what a Quoted post looks like (our sys admin here, who Quoted my own post above in a new message).

a. As seen in our instance, with the Mastodon Web Client.

b. as seen via Pinafore, and other mastodon clients (possibly also the same in other Mastodon instances Web Clients).

So I've been thinking how we could sanely modify groups here at QOTO all day. Closest we have right now in the fediverse is gup.pe which does a pretty good job but the problem is there is no moderation. Anyone can join a group or post to a group and there is no way to exclude bad actors. Its completely automated no moderator.

I think if I were to fork the source code and get it working it would be pretty trivial to make it into a working framework. Just design it so whoever first creates a group is the owner. They can give others privilages or take it away, as well as ban people via remote commands.

Not sure if i have the time to take on that project but it wouldnt be more than a few days work.

I guess the real question is... how desperate are the people on #QOTO for groups? Would it even be worth my time?

A new Feature we just added to QOTO.org is this neat "Quote" button - what does it do?

- It will start a New Toot (NOt a Reply), while including a reference to the post you were interested in (and where you used the "" Quote mark Button).

- You will be able to use the Toot Editor as in any other posts; selecting Privacy level, adding images or video attachments.

- And once your post is complete, it will contain a "Frame" which in our Web client looks quite neat -- containing the username and avatar, text of the Quoted post.

- That Frame is also a Live link to that original post, so people can quickly jump to it if desired.

Simple, quick, and it will not break other Mastodon clients; they will simply show a simplified version of the info we see here.

(It will be similar to the many Retweet posts, with a link to the original Toot)
