#Quad And I immediately noticed the Quad Fives on this latest @users post here at Qoto.

5, 5 5 5 users now.

Seen 5 hours after the post, so we must be about 10 more now I would guess.

#patterns are fun... How long before 6,666 ?

@chikara I have received two site notifications, not only to me but the entire Staff team here at Qoto. (I am not yet a member of staff, although have been nominated for a position).

I underrstand you want to make your point well, but to post a large message that is in regards to the whole instance admin and mod staff, and then pull it off - twice - is not a proper way to do it.

Please write a draft and post it.

Or better yet, open a topic in our Moderation subforum in the Qoto Discourse Forums.

User registration is required, but just takes a minute.

I dropped other work to come and check, twice, and was half way thru a long legal and semantic argument you were positing.

Story Time. Joining the Internet in the mid 90's.

Just finished editing a new Blog post, with the story of how I first joined the Internet, in the mid 1990's.

#MarkDown language is a new thing I am learning and starting to use.

Last night I posted a topic here about a MarkDown tutorial, which is available in English, Spanish and French. Took a couple hours later to do it and was impressed.

* Topic: https://qoto.org/@design_RG/103304062981695684

Very, very well done, simple and demonstrates the commands to format text by explaining them, giving you an area to type in and format text with a preview window besides.

Spent more time after and edited a whole Blog post I had made, formatted with HTML Markup language and which was not kosher yet.

Resulted in a much cleaner and prettier page.

I just copied the revise Blog post here to Discourse forums : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/qoto-moderator-nomination-process-my-personal-thoughts-and-notes-on-user-participation/143

This one is set on Public view, can be checked anonymously.

The previous edition is on the Moderation area, and can be seen by logged in users only, not anonymous, but it's here if you want to compare: https://discourse.qoto.org/t/qoto-moderator-nomination-process-notes/117/5

And I just worked for a couple hours, soon time for bed.

Completed this tutorial, linked above, and it is VERY good. Well explained, with examples, you enter markdown format until you get it right and it allows you to go on to the next step. (or hit cancel, if you can't figure out why it's not as expected).

After reading and practicing, I needed to work on a real project, and I knew one of my recent Blog posts could use some work -- some of the text was jagged, not right, I had used html markup and was the best I could do at the time.

With some back and forth, I copied the whole post from one blog instance to another, as a Backup so I wouldn't break it (and regret).

Turned out NICE. Finally, the jaggedness is gone. The numbered list is progressing as expected.

AND - the formatting for the lists and headers is much shorter and easier than HTML ones.

Will post here the two, Before and After. so you can see the difference.

* AFTER : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-moderator-nomination-process-notes

Happy and ready to wind down a productive day. Good night, #fedi verse.

🇬🇧 MarkDown language is a simplified form of creating a variety of text styles. Bold, Italicized, Underline, Header (text) sizes, all in much shorter and easier commands than classic HTML Markup language.

Note the name, a play on the HTML variant.

The Interactive MarkDown tutorial is also available in ENGLISH for those who are more comfortable in that language.
