Congratulations to your own instance, it was a long time in the making. Sadly I need to tell you that I cannot subscribe to you from gnusocial.net. -

I have no idea.
Tags seem sometimes to collect their counterparts from other instances but most often they don't. (Which has the unintended benefit that they can be used as bookmarks.)
Repeats are never federated, neither from other gnusocial instances nor from mastodon-, pleroma-, friendica- or otherwise run instances. -

Good to hear that you could improve skills. Another reason why the #fediverse can be so much better than Twitter: Its conversation-based instead of claim-based foundation makes connections between people indeed *connections*, not just "click-and-like". After all those years I come to think that Manuel Ortega with his https://blog.p2pfoundation.net/gnu-social-federation-against-the-social-model-of-twitter/2015/04/25 was spot on. -

FYI Your notice reached me but didn't occur in my TL (found it via email notification). Perhaps you already deleted it? If so, then be informed that even after deletion your notice could be accessed here on gnusoical.net (which is not too strange as by sending it it was copied from the database of your instance into that of mine and can therefore live a life of its own...) Enjoy the #fediverse. -

This is what happens when I write the first letters of your handle. ;-) The pop-up field works but looks a bit awry. https://gnusocial.net/attachment/a329a100337e5c2a2f9688ac192e9f0d8b252fa524a2b5c917b854929483da88/view -

@dcent
As I know that you've done some work recently to improve one of the available gnusocial themes I would like to ask if you could help out with an annoying glitch in the neo-quitter theme:
The field for writing notices cannot be changed in size as a (lower-right-corner) "grip" to reshape it (crop it) is missing. Could you do something about it, if it is not too much effort? Thank you in advance.

The more interesting thing to me is:
« Is there Mastodon stock or a way to invest in this growing social network? The short answer is no. There’s no direct way to trade this open-source platform. Not only isn’t the company publicly listed, it’s also non-profit.
But there’s speculation that Meta could be building a Twitter alternative. »
Sounds to me that *because* one cannot invest in stocks or otherwise that pepople at Meta are interested in creating a rival to Twitter. <sigh> -

My feature-wishlist for the #fediverse only contains two items: that repeats federate and that tags federate. That would be truly nice. -

To me the interesting thing about the #fediverse is not the so-called freedom to choose and move, but the #decentralisation created by #federation. The result of both is that the fediverse is a far more comversation-based place than the silo of birdside. As one's opinions not automatically spread across all the fediverse but only to those subscribing to one, celebrity-style statement-dropping gains far less reaction and response here than there. I guess that is at the root of why the fediverse and its instances are more "social meda", whereas birdsite is more "scream media". -

A good reminder to everyone. And people should keep in mind that newcomers often cannot properly describe the issues they face. -

I have to cut back myself again after I spend a lot of money for a 10 vols. dictionary... Inflation is not that high here, about 10% and it's a topic for people, media, politics. Fears of a repition of early 20th century may be behind that. More problematic I find that high inflation and energy prices eats at the solidarity with Ukraine and lead to more protests on the streets, even one's calling for end of sanctions against Russia. -

Contrary to many with climate anxiety, it seems irresponisble to not have kids as the lack of them diminishes one's perspective towards later generations. The danger of becoming trapped in one's own egoism is greater then and demands conscious and sustained efforts to overcome. -

Of course time will tell... and perhaps you're right. But the twitter waves I've seen left a ton of dead and unused accounts and much frustration expressed by those who then went back. Obviously I cannot tell for alll instances and people, and indeed even many may stay,,, which doesn't change much in the broad perspective and long run. But, as yours, and less justified than yours, that's my subjective impression. -

Twitter is a panic-driven place, as I can see from a lot of tweets that are RTed into my timeline. Is this really an all out "information war" as these twets claim? Democracies in decline, strongmen on the rise? Twitter, FB and others the "weapons manufactorers" in this war? Don't let this war cross your door sill, refuse to panic, esp. when you are called to arms by those "sensitives" in search of "resistance". They are part of the war they claim we're in. They profit more from it, nosh more from it, than all the alleged culprits they identify. -
