@Zezin Sometimes it is clunky. I use evil-collection selectively, which helps. Still not as smooth as I would like, but it's ok. C-z to get into the right mode is sometimes needed, mainly for obscure modes that I haven't configured the default binding correctly yet. Some modes are just better with their original bindings as well, so knowing some basic emacs navigation keys is necessary.

@Zezin No evil, it was one of the things that eased my transition from vim. And I like that I can still use vim effectively when I'm on a system that lacks emacs, if I used vanilla, I'd eventually forget things.

@Zezin I used since the 80s several variations of vi. Eventually about 7 years ago vims limitations and some YouTube videos on emacs convinced me to try it. My motivation was to be as efficient as possible developing code. My hobby for a few years was customizing emacs until I approached the ideal environment, now it’s more occasional. The time involved makes no sense unless you enjoy the hobby part.

@freemo pretty sure it was two weeks ago.

@fiery_zarzar @durrivedfunktor Also seems to be a difference whether you click on the followee in your feed vs using the Follows and Followers link. The former allows you to see only people also on your instance, the latter allows see all of them. Apparently because it brings up a page provided by the remote instance.

@fiery_zarzar @durrivedfunktor If you follow someone you can generally see their follow/following list via their profile, 2 clicks really. For at least one person I follow this doesn't seem to work, but they are on a "garage" server, so it may be misconfigured.

@durrivedfunktor what extra steps? I search and follow. Is there some other way?

@acjay @jpatton I guess I'm a little slow, but you are right qoto.org is on that list. Someone has opened a PR to remove it, which I think they should. Your solution seems solid though, maybe we will get there someday.

@zerronsage It's a BYOKA kind of place.

@herid qoto.org has some extra features over the base server code, this is one of them. See https://qoto.org/about/more under Unique Features

@markkitti I'd pay particular attention to the items in what will get you banned. I'd expect that ignorant opinions expressed respectfully will just have people blocking you, but you won't get banned. But I dunno if you are expecting to push the limits of acceptance here, you should consider putting that stuff on one of those instances where they will actually agree with you.

@markkitti Have you read https://qoto.org/about/more? I don't know any more, but it seems to be pretty clear, maybe ask for clarification on particular points?

@trinsec @freemo That's unfortunate, but I doubt I'll be posting much math, was just curious how well it worked, as it was explicitly identified as a feature in "About this server" link.

@jpatton @acjay That's a long list, I'm gratified that the 3 servers I have blocked are on that list, but how do we block all of those quickly and easily when we don't run a server? It seems like it's more of an admin thing, but thanks for the list!

@freemo The extra } isn't actually there. Lol.

@freemo Does latex math work on this instance? It sort of works when I test it by making a completely private post, but there's a message about math processing error? Do I need more boilerplate? All I have is :backslash: ( e = mc^2 } :backslash: ) where :backslash: is just the backslash character.

@acjay One of the nice things I've noticed here is you can block entire groups of "people" by blocking the servers they have accreted onto.

But yes, having lists of certain classes of servers that we could block all at once would be quite nice. I don't know if that exists tbh.
