@somarasu @angristan ST? Also, does anybody know what happened to FreeTusky? I can't find it on the F-Droid store, it's Git repo or anything.

@Gargron Do you mean something similar to Telegram's video messages and telesco.pe ?

Or something like Snapchat? What are your requirements/ideals?

@verita84 @SEEK The point is academia should already be using open standard ODF files instead of proprietary MS files.

@verita84
Running Windows on a laptop. But the VM suffices for me for now.

@verita84
I'm passionately running an Arch VM for now. University prevents me from escaping the MS ecosystem completely.

I hate Windows

@Rasp
So surreal

@sir
I actually do this frequently. I'm 21. lol, today I made a stylesheet to inject when I'm pissed enough at someone's CSS negligence.

@brettgilio@mstdn.social @sir
Thanks for this, Brett. I've been exploring IRC and I like it's relatively minimalist nature. I love Telegram's feature-set (multimedia, stickers, permissions, etc), but being ultimately a proprietary, centralised platform, I can imagine it's flaws.

One thing: Seemless use of multiple clients with one nickname on a server doesn't work like Telegram (I think). Is there a solution?

Also, any IRC guide or client recommendations?

@brettgilio@mstdn.social I'm a zoomer, never been introduced to IRC, don't know it. I have a gut feeling I should though.

@Papercrunch@mas.to
lol, new to the Fediverse?

@portpupper @lain Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. So far the references are to blog posts by lain and official website content. We need external reviews and "noteworthy" commentary to put the Pleroma draft on the same level as the Mastodon wiki page.

@luke Relevant throwback to a talk about the Fediverse (albeit referenced indirectly). Nice to finally see on PeerTube.

@lain
Do you know of this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pleroma_(software)

Also, anyone wanna help with collecting sources for the Pleroma Wikipedia draft page before it's reviewed?

Sources are the most important to avoid it being deemed not "note worthy" and discarded. Grab all you can.

@RayneSilver Welcome to the Fediverse 🏄 !

@Toni lol you did it. Now enjoy your new freedom on the Fediverse.
