One question which really comes into my mind: Is Twitter bothered by the growing popularity of Mastodon? Specially since so many Indian users (2nd most populated country) joined the platform.

@shibaprasad Yes, there are some, not as many as there are mastodon ones.

And what they offer does vary. I had seelected Wordsmith.social at first, since they are open for new accounts, have a number of users and are likely to stick around (very small ones, who knows?). And -- they also allow 10 Blogs per user account.

so you could separate things into different blogs, 2 or 3 as needed.

Avoids a confusing mix of family, travel, fediverse, photos, etc all in one stream.

I wanted it, but could not see if to follow via Fediverse.

so I kept looking, and found Tedomum.net, which DID work when tested (I used eh same test, short first blog page. Copied between tabs, from one that has page, to an empty new one. Hit save, see how it looks.)

Rigth now they both seem to be working.

And -- one of the new things today was MarkDown language. I found a tutorial, read and tried it as it's interactive.

Then, practice and ended up with a Better version of a complex post, with numbered lists, bullets, I couldn't get it perfect before.

Now it is 🆗 -- and I am happy.

I posted a message on the MarkDown tutorial thread with links to the before and after.

@design_RG So there are different instances like Tedomum Wordsmith?

Depressing how little response I get to posts at birdsite. No wonder I never enjoyed it much there.

Here [mastodon home instance] in an hour I have more interaction than there in a day, at least. And the quality, no comparison.

Keep cool, 💓

@shibaprasad I agree, but the media attention on climate change is not what is important here. The media attention on a kid striking and causing kids all over the globe to strike because governments refuse to act on climate change Is important. They are striking, just like any union member strikes, to stop injustice and cause action. They are fighting for their future and they are honourable people with passion and willpower.

@freemo I think you are being too logical :) yes kids need education

@freemo
I am intrigued a bit. Why you want to distance yourself because of Greta?

I personally feel her involvement made the issue focal point of many news outlets. And it got the attention it deserved and needed.

@freemo
I thought it was provable?
Suppose,

a^x/a^x=1

By the property of exponents we know x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

Applying that,

a^(x-x) = 1
or, a^0 = 1

Hello Rob! Is this a Blog on Fediverse? Could you give any link explaining what is this? I have no knowledge in this.

It is to some extent a surreal feeling to think Dr. Banerjee studied in a University which is only 2 miles away from where I live. It is inspiring that he had made it so grand.

The phrase "Think globally, act locally" is so true!

RT @fermatslibrary

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Banerjee, Duflo, and Kremer "for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty."

This is something I really like about foreign Sports icons. They are never afraid of being Political or speaking about a convoluted topic. Be it right or wrong they speak their mind.

Wish our Sports idols could do the same too.

Also not to mention there has been an Internet Blackout in Kashmir for about 4 months. Don't know when my state will be next.

@kapsology

Hong Kong is protesting since months. China never blocked the internet.

We are a democracy, China is not.

Very sad and frightening times ahead. Don't know what is there in the future.
