@[email protected] A great place we've discovered a couple of years ago, but could try only today. And it's definitely approved!
@[email protected] it is. My wife got another kind of cake, but it was over before I could take my phone for the photo 😆
The final part of a proper Italian lunch. With love.

@[email protected] I've been delaying this for months. Now, it's time to send it, before it will be too late.
I think I'll disclose the contents of this e-mail, but only when everything well be over or sorted out.
Good morning, #Fediverse !
Good morning, #Fediverse ! At the moment, I'm writing two e-mails. One is fine, the other is the second worst e-mail I've been writing this year.

@[email protected] true. The smartphone hasn't done a great job here.
Still, I like to think that the lights are "noisy" while the darkness makes the sea "silent". That's why I was concentrating on this message.

@[email protected] it's happened a couple of times, in the last days. My boosts mean "hey, look here" but people, sometimes, think they're some sorts of endorsements.
So I preferred to point it out - just to be sure of not being misunderstood 🙂
@[email protected] @[email protected] Entire instances can be blocked using the command line, but they're using many (abandoned? loosely moderated?) instances.
We can also set the "drop posts from accounts created less than X seconds ago". We could set a 86400 seconds - but we could lose new users, posting their introductions.
For now, I've blocked those instances you pointed out
@angel When I openly agree with something, I reply saying "I agree" and explain why.
Yes, I'm definitely old 😆
@[email protected] Quoted boosts are coming on Mastodon, too: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/
Still, I don't know how they'll be considered by many as many Twitter users did a lot of mess with them, using them to harass people.
I totally agree with your point of view: I don't want to judge people by a post/boost. Still, I understand why people are so "on guard" as the Fediverse is full of bad people/trolls, too.
Luckily, the world is full of good people. But, sometimes, it's quite difficult to find them as they're much, much more silent than the bad ones.
@[email protected] I decided to point it out on my profile, just to avoid problems/misunderstandings.
@kasperd Quote posts are coming to Mastodon (https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/). Let's see if people will accept it. For now, many are against them as on Twitter they've (also) been used in a very bad way.
Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it. Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.

Majestically, I watch over my world from my window, and soon I will come down among you to remind everyone, with my pee splashes, that I am the true master.

Sometimes we are like boats on the vast sea, navigating by sight, feeling alone, adrift, aimless. Yet the sun will rise and set, its light guiding us, and the immense sea, so silent, is pregnant and teeming with life. We are alive, we are life.

In my opinion, every government, public entity, association, foundation, etc., that needs to communicate with the public should have its own communication channel, with full control over its data and the messages it delivers. When I read “my Discord server,” I feel like responding “there’s nothing ‘yours’ about it - tomorrow morning they could shut everything down, and you would have lost EVERYTHING.”. Own your data!
Sometimes, I read that instances are not opened because of “costs not balanced by the number of users.” But even public television channels are often economically unprofitable, yet they are considered an essential service for public communication. Open, decentralized technologies that ensure control over one’s data should be treated the same way.
