FFS my boss needs to learn to use Signal. 🤪

I was already clad in rainclothes like a knight in shiny armor before I decided to check my phone (Telegram and Signal are on my desktop, Whatsapp isn't). Oh, boss called in sick, and I could work from home if I wanted to. (Yes I do, I don't fancy biking through the rain. :P)

But I could've been informed an hour earlier if he used Signal which I know he's installed a few weeks ago. Would've saved me the hassle of putting my laptop in the bag and getting all dressed up. 😋

@hilarybaumann That's always been the case. I get what you're aiming at. For your own domain you usually have to do a bit more effort. In this case it'd be hosting an instance yourself.

But, like I said, there are services which can make your life easier. There are paid services specialized in hosting mastodon instances for you, and you just apply your own domain to it. :)

For most people it doesn't really matter to have their own domain, so long it's convenient for them. I've lost access to servers before and I just moved on to another one. People'll know me anyway, don't care too much about post history.

But you have all the freedom to do so. :)

@hilarybaumann Feel free to host your own instance, there are services online that's specialized in giving you an easy Mastodon hosting experience. Just ask around. :)

The only advantage of an existing active server is the community with its local timeline activity.

@antares Ah, taht's theme specific I believe. Go check your settings and choose a saner one. :D

I'm using Mastodon Default Dark I believe. I don't see that silly stuff.

@davoloid Glad you found another/an additional home. Have fun there!

@antares What bouncing little.. thing...?

Even better: What blue box?

Oh is it one of those themes? Or?

@MsDelphiOracle Why that option is not default I don't know!

@lorihc You're allowed to say 'posting' if you want. I use both terms, whatever I simply think of first.

@kefir @lucifargundam Man, that's clearly fake. It still says 'ONE' on the right!

@lucifargundam @kefir Strangely enough that's still money better spent than paying Musk.

@kefir

Just put it behind your name: : verified : (without the spaces).

:P

@fredfp @JulienDelpierre Try searching with help of hashtags. The Fediverse relies heavily on hashtags, so if you want to be discovered, use hashtags on keywords in your posts.

@DMT That's such a weird thing to think about... ;) Cool though!

@MessengerFlats And I mistakenly thought I wasn't hungry anymore...

Cute doggos, by the way!

@EvilK @prajitoruldinoz What happened to the other 3?

@s_gruppetta When one calls it a private toot, I have to think of a DM. Direct Message. So... can't be too sure.

@s_gruppetta Everybody else without markdown support will see some of the markdown adornments, which makes it still readable and still conveys the intent. And we see it in its pretty format here.

I know bold and italics will be shown with those asterisks around. Not sure about the rest.

Pleroma, Misskey, Mastodon Glitch, all microblogging servers which should be able to see markdown. There's more than just Mastodon. :)

@s_gruppetta Eh, where is it called a private toot?

@s_gruppetta Markdown is not a default Mastodon feature. Qoto has it, and the servers running the Mastodon Glitch Edition also knows markdown. Not sure about others.

Apps are usually made for default Mastodon... so I think most apps probably won't support it. Personally I prefer the mobile web interface, it's very mobile friendly.
