*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@social.cleverlibre.org

@freemo Wonderful -- thank you!!

@chikara It is not an election as in open to membership vote -- that is clear from the administrator original posting for both the November and December elections.

The process was open in allowing for nominations by ANY member, in suggesting the name of another, active member here, with at least one month of activity on the system.

Your language is unfortunate, as it cames thru as pretty acerbic, even if that was not your intention. :sadcat:

I do find it unique in here - I have been a member of many communities over the years, and in quite a few was very active and raised to Staff positions. In all of those, the selection of possible new Staff members was entirely at the current staff members, with decisions most commonly made by administrators, considering the suggestions and advice of the moderation team.

Happiness is...

To learn MarkDown and have an awesome write.freely blog to quickly post a new idea or thought.

...to have a Discourse forum for the same reason.

...and to share these with friends in #fediverse so easily via Mastodon.

🇬🇧 "Happiness is a hot tea on cold nights;
it's an icy bath in the middle of a darn heat;
is to receive a pleasant and unexpected visit on any evening;
it is warm bread with melting butter;
is coffee with the bread I wrote in the sentence above;
is to fall on all fours to the ground and die laughing;
it is not to die when falling out on all fours;
is to make your favourite cake and lick the canister at the end;
is a clean bed, fluffy pillow and sweet smelling pajamas;
is the sense of relief after a resolved situation;
is to make a call to chat with someone dear;
is to look at the horizon;
it's when looking at the horizon, seeing a better world.
Happiness is to invent and make worth the invention, because reality is too harsh."

Have a great day!

🇵🇹 🇧🇷 "A felicidade é um chazinho quente em noites de frio;
é um banho gelado no meio de um calor danado
é receber uma agradável e inesperada visita em um fim de tarde qualquer;
é pão quentinho com manteiga derretendo;
é café com o pão que escrevi na frase acima;
é cair de quatro no chão e morrer de rir;
é não morrer quando cair de quatro;
é fazer o bolo predileto e lamber a vasilha no final;
é cama limpa, travesseiro fofo e pijama cheiroso;
é sensação de alívio após uma situação resolvida;
é ligar pra bate papo com alguém querido;
é olhar o horizonte;
é ao olhar o horizonte, enxergar um mundo melhor.
Felicidade é inventar e fazer valer a pena a invenção, porque a realidade é dura demais."

Going for a little ride, brb...

@chikara Our QOTO Discourse forums are not the one you joined, which is why you couldn't register your usual name.

@freemo must have new emoji!!

tag it sadness.

They have a great collection at another instance... will borrow a few... 😉

@Massick

I quickly visited the front pages of mastodon.technology, and it seemed a nice place to be.

Could be a good home for anyone involved into the tech area.

@Vishsai

@Massick Yeah, there's some cons to Feline love.

I had a long hair cat, and while beautiful, there was hair all over the house. And they damaged ou sofas too, people might not know about that.

But I love their independance and fascinating personalities.

@Massick wow, look at that, never seen these. A cat, for real? Poor kitty. 😢

#Conclusions

@Vishsai I image how Gargron feels about it if he parses the Local feed.

Geez. I tried a few times to post a first message, but couldn't.

Added a proper avatar and profile background, wanted to post about the AWI there to see if Gargron would reply or notice it. But not done it yet.

@Massick

Yes, that was a comment about masto social, now over 450 thousand accounts.

Turning into a mini Twitter it seems.

@Vishsai

when things get slowish in the #fediverse, there's always other places. #cats lovers rejoice.

@Vishsai

Do you know how to use the Filters in the Mastodon Preferences?

A user at another instance was asking, and I would be interested too..

Tell me about it?

@Massick

Anyone with an interest in Information Technology, an active robotic feed I found last night is available for following.

@itnewsbot

Fresh IT news from a variety of sources. Public service by @emanuel

@Massick That would be a very Welcome development. Oh yes, please and thank you. 😛
@Vishsai hello, not much going on here, I am surprised. From my last post last night to now, very little Local activity.

Not a problem at your instance, eh? 😉

Got an account there to see what it's like on such a huge place, but I see things posted in the open that bother me, and haven't made any posts there yet.

Seriously, a guy posted an open dick prick picture? the Indian users must have been upset, I was.

Ended my wish to post a thread there on the spot.

Geez, but this Local timeline is pretty dead, ahem, quiet.... 😜
