Lovelies, I'm an #atheist. If you're wondering what I do and don't believe in, here are a few posts with my attempt to explain.

- I just believe in one fewer God than most other people. Just like you don't believe in Thor or Anubis. I don't believe in an Abrahamic (or any) God.

- I don't believe in the Devil either, in exactly the same way I don't believe in God.

- I don't hate God, it's hard to hate something that you don't believe in and has no impact on your life.

Good morning!

Come on people, this cannot be explained!

I am gathering a list of people who want to be involved in the discussion around the formation of a "United Federation of Instances" which is an attempt to combat the fracturing of the fediverse and the general spreading of misinformation WRT moderation decisions.

If anyone is interested in being a part of it let me know in the replies. I will add you to the list, share the draft proposal, and we can start discussions. I have several people already interested.

TIL QOTO is the Somali word for "deep"... seems appropriate.

I have been, @Romaq

The quote you just provided and link agreed with everything I said, and yes I read the case.

I didn't see anything come up in notifications or any of the feeds. I didn't notice anything on my profile page or in direct messages.

I scanned the SW documentation at docs.joinmastodon.org and didn't see the feature mentioned there.

I guess I could just use it and use coded language so in case anybody sees it, it won't embarrass anyone.

I don't remember ever seeing that note feature. It doesn't show up when you open a profile in a new tab. I almost always open profile pages in a new tab because I like the way it formats that way.

When you type text into that note feature is that something that is visible to everyone publicly or is it visible to the person whose profile you post it to? Or is it only visible to me?

re complexity... Yeah, that's always a problem in SW development, feature bloat. Sometimes, especially with SW that's been around a while and updated a lot, you can change it in a way that actually makes it easier to use while adding new features, but that usually takes quite a bit of creativity and UI experience.

Of course Fedi has the inherent complexity of the structure itself.

"It's the little things"

As I added in some notes about a couple of our Minecraft server's newest players into the "important need to know" channel in our Staff Discord this morning, it occurred to me that you probably don't know that we do things like this behind the scenes.

For example, when a player is young, or not a strong reader, or maybe English isn't their first language, we'll make a note here so that all of the staff are aware to use shorter sentences and easier to read/understand explanations for things... maybe take them into a channel where chat isn't so busy.

Sometimes we have players who are feeling especially alone or ignored in life and we'll make a note here for the staff to take extra special time and care to make sure they get a response in chat or have giving them a special greeting when they sign on, such as "It's really great to see you!"

This is a very busy channel for us, one that nobody on our staff ignores. This way we can all know about the little things with each player to be aware of, to be careful of, and to be thoughtful about... because each player is unique and has something different about them that we should keep in mind.

It says it right in the title of the channel we use, it's "important" to know, because the little things to us are very big things to them.
