@freemo What do you mean 'we just got over'? I'm seeing a new very steep one very much a sliver there on the right.

@freemo Wait... what? We have *another* spike? I thought it was starting to mell... oh right, latest Twitter shennanigans.

@nullifidian @thislewashi@peoplemaking.games What I think: You did upload image, click CW, image gets auto-marked as sensitive. For some reason you canceled the CW part, but image's still marked sensitive as it won't unmark automatically.

@mhbg This server'll be updated in due time, which'll add a translate feature.

@SweaterVest

'Aren't we supposed to use our lips?'

'What lips?'

@nullifidian @thislewashi@peoplemaking.games But I'm not seeing a CW?

@lydiaconwell Nono, I'm not going to serve. They can shove that up their...

@engelbart Cool. Pixelfed is free and federated and not owned by a large commercial company stealing data.

So that's a great Instagram-alternative looks like. :)

@lydiaconwell Well that'll have to happen without me as I'm not involved in any of this. I couldn't care less if Twitter's going down.

@birv2 That's actually the sane approach, yeah. After a while of using the software you'll get a better idea of what features you'd like to add.

Of course. That'd have been too easy. Just visiting my parents and eat mom's delicious food, then spend a few hours relaxing...

Nope, I have to fix their computer, printer, tablet, and a new phone.

Parents... 😋

@AnnTelope You can call them posts if you'd like. I don't care either way. ;)

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse!

@freemo Oh yes, some have a Julian calendar instead. And what about Islamic calendars? It's the whole reason the Ramadan is on a different time of year every year. A fair amount of places do use a different calendar system.

It's just that for the world's sanity's sake we apparently have agreed on one single calendar to interact with each other...

And of course the West colonized a lot of countries, forcing our known calendar on them.. that might've aided a bit too. :P

@urusan Yeah. Our current ex-Twitter-userbase people are actually great. They're the smart ones who recognizes a sinking ship that has to be abandoned.

@freemo Oh gods, a 7-day week goes back even further than that. It corresponds with the phases of the moon. Full, waning half, new, waxing half. Though it'd not be perfect as it's not exactly 28 days, so some days got added sometimes in the final week. So the concept dates back to like 21st century BC apparently.

Look what you made me do.. I had to look it up and learn something!
