adam w.k. @sabbatical@qoto.org

@thor @tchambers way too real

@levisan ah and you’re not on my instance, so that’s good to know! was starting to think it was a qoto issue since my other tester accounts seemed to log in fine

found a “dossier” folder-cover notebook prototype i handbound at a brant archives workshop a few years back. i still like the concept!

@whateveryouart fool comes to mind!

@trinsec @freemo @khird @barefootstache ok, thanks. will check these out! btw, you mentioned installing clients, but elk.zone isn't an app you install — it's an alternate web interface.

@trinsec @freemo @khird @barefootstache huh, interesting — what kind of features are you talking about? haven't stumbled on anything new so far myself.

@trinsec @freemo @khird @barefootstache appreciate you engaging with me on this!

@trinsec @freemo @khird @barefootstache or maybe i'll just pony up for ivory for mac instead and call it a day. still weird elk doesn't work here though.

@trinsec @freemo @khird @barefootstache ok, thanks. nice to get a glimpse of what you see. the look doesn't appeal to me still (trying dark reader too), but i suppose it's possible i could achieve something i like by writing some CSS into stylish if i got motivated.

@freemo @trinsec @khird @barefootstache hah, i mean, i'm not an extremist on either end — i wouldnt want to live in an empty box OR with clutter. maybe a theme could work? am trying some but not keen on any so far. (and a couple seemed sorta broken?) didnt see any actually dark (or at least grey instead of blue) dark themes as well.

@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.
