@TheOldGuy I wasnt refering to the politicians, i was refering to the adherents.

@ZingerLearns I also think the number of guns to civial count is a bad measure.. In the USA you have a few people with thousands of guns... I think a more meaingful measure is how many people own guns.

@TheOldGuy Yea.. honestly im not sure what side is worse anymore. I always used to lean left, and still do.. but both sides seem bat shit crazy right now and kinda hard to distinguish at the extremes.

@ZingerLearns The people with handguns on their hip at my work are **not** military. But yea the M16 are military related but keep in mind these are kids walking home who take the guns with them, they are off duty and alone just walking around with M16s.

Now to be fair im not against guns. I wouldnt mind every civilian walking around with an AR-15 either.. I'm just pointing out it is something you see constantly with civilians open-carrying in israel which is far more rare in USA.

@conradhackett Or the only country with good enough records.. Though wouldnt surprise me if true.

I will say i am exposed far more to guns in Israel than the US. People wear them in their belt at work like its nothing, kids walk down the treet with m16 on their backs... I see more guns in a day in Israel than I've seen in a lifetime in the USa.

@wislubb Thanks, you too!

@warkittens yes i have it at my home lab, and there is no nearby sink.. you can use a hand pump or an oil based pump. I use an oil based pump.

IIt appears so as it used to render just fine in earlier versions. QOTO was the first instance to implement it outside of misskey and it used to render in earlier versions just fine.

@yassie_j

@cassolotl

Then you are on an instance that explicitly strips it from the toot.. It **used** to be quote toots showed up just fine on mastodon as a text link... But it seems gargron in typical fashion went out of his way to strip it out and cripple people using mastodon... shame.

@Viv

@cassolotl

Some software hides the list of people you tagged.. so yea maybe you were tagged and it just wanst shown. Friendica does that.

@Ash

@obi If you know what the other person practices, use that, if you dont, use what you practice... Or just pick randomly it doesnt matter, what matters is you are wishing them well.

@fiskfan1999 QOTO was I think the first non-misskey instance to implement it.. we have had it for many years despite being a mastodon fork.

@jackiantonovich As much as I would love to read this sadly it is pay walled.

@yassie_j

If your instance doesnt explicitly strip it then it would look like this at the end of the post:

[ QT: <link to post being quoted> ]

@cassolotl

@yassie_j

Apps that dont support Quote toots can see them just fine, its just that they appear as a link at the end of the toot rather than the actual quote.

If you dont see the quote toot your on a server that explicitly goes out of its way to strip it.

@cassolotl

@Viv

Quote toots are already implemented throughout the fediverse... it works simply by embedding a link as text in the toot with a specific format. If a server doesnt support it then they just see a link attached where the quote would be

@cassolotl

@cassolotl Quote toots are already implemented int he fediverse anda ll servers that implement it adhere to the same common standard.

QOTO, awoo.fyi, and I think fedibird are all examples of instances with quote toots. Misskey servers **all** have quote toots.

All instances handle it just fine already if its implemented as the standard was defined by misskey years ago and we all adhere to it...

It really is a nonissue, its done, problem solves, its just many servers are in the past and simply havent implemented the already agreed upon standard, nothing more.

@Ash

You must tag the person when quote tooting for them to get notifified.
