Pinafore Client allows you to use MarkDown in Fedi
New Topic in our new Pinafore Forum here.
Intro :
Pinafore Allows you to create and see posts with MarkDown Formatting
While Pinafore itself does not advertise it as a feature, it does provide MarkDown text formatting support – accepting all input from the user and passing it on to their instance for publishing.

they don’t agree with my “no full instance blocking, only specific user blocking” policy.
I am perfectly fine with that policy. It is really a sensible one.
Some people are lazy and would rather take a canned ‘block recommendation’ from the wannabes hanging around in the fediblock hash, a lot running instances whose full user list is way shorter in length than their own block list.
Posturing is common there. I don’t care about them, and can use instances that I like and adjust as needed.
FAB, for example is a delightful instance, I love puniko’s work and the whole environment there. Have an account and hang out there, sometimes. Have recommended her instance heartily - deservedly so.
But the small minded jerks sometimes block places for being pleroma instances, so FAB suffers as a publishing place alternative.
I made a blog post with a list of places I frequented back then, in January; and it seems an updated version with new ones, and the stories of what happened in some of the ones in the previous blog post are due.
This is a nice place. Thank you for offering the service!
re: Longs post about Too Small Toot Limits...
@sbjohnsrpi Here are two screenshots, one of which I just mentioned above -- Gargron's thoughts on keeping the 500 chars.
This came in response to a Git code contribution by LambadaLambda, one of the main developers in the Pleroma project. He contributed code that would take the 500 Max Toot Size limit from the source code, and store it on a config file -- which is exactly the way I think it should be done. (not buried in the code and having to be manually edited each time an update or upgrade version is released, as it is now).
First image is his proposal; the second is Gargron's who as project leader denied it and closed the issue. He did expose his reasons.
I am very thankful to a Pleroma node admin who provided me these when he saw my posting regarding this issue.
We hear there's an effort underway to put the CASE Act in "must pass" legislation.

Thanksgiving, Decolonization, Hawaii
Neofeud is a game about my experiences growing up in Hawaii's ghetto, being a social worker & STEM teacher for poor, homeless, refugees, mostly non-white kids in slums of Hawaii the tour buses avoid, while living out of a van. 100% of sales go to putting a roof over my kids' head.
