@freemo @khird @trinsec @barefootstache ahh, i prefer less features to be honest (at least visually.) i like my interfaces clean and lean :) same with twitter — i couldnt use it without something like the "minimal twitter" extension.

@freemo @khird @trinsec @barefootstache oh really? @elk is probably the client i've heard folks talk about and talk about using most! prob even more than @ivory and @IceCubesApp

@freemo @khird @trinsec
@barefootstache hey, wasn't sure where to send this, so apologies if this isn't the place... but does qoto.org not support the elk.zone client? elk is (was) my go-to desktop client for mastodon, but now that i've switched to this instance i can't log in to it. (either says "Can't connect" on the domain autofill UI, or "ERROR: TypeError: Failed to fetch" after. doesn't happen with any of my other instance tester accounts!

looks like trash, but i can now keep working with a cat napping on me!

@ThatDoug@noagendasocial.com @jeremiah in bud lights case, they had boycotts on both sides of the issue. don’t know how large the trans-rights side of it was, but this could be a case of a double whammy

anyone else had repeated errors trying to log in to elk.zone the last few days?

@kupfers @type @armstrong @letterror @nicksherman in any society i think there will be those who value traditional aesthetics regardless of political leaning. my grandma goldberg’s documents from her definitely non-nazi german settlement here in ontario around that time were done in blackletter too.

@kupfers @type @armstrong @letterror @nicksherman an interesting counter. though liberals vs nazis/conservatives isn’t really an accurate representation of what was happening culturally at that point as i understand it. for example the more staunchly catholic an area was, the less support for nazis, etc.

@type @armstrong @kupfers @letterror @nicksherman i wonder though, would these typefaces not have been made in germany at this point regardless of whether the nazis came to power or not? they seem like the logical next step in modernization of germanic blackletter.

@levisan yep! it attempted it anyway. seems like i lost a number of followers in the transfer. and i had to manually refollow everyone. and content doesn’t transfer either. but better than nothin!
