New here


Okay, here we go. My first post.
I'm new here, and boy, there's a lot to discover. At the same time I am discovering Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and what have you. So bear with me. Thanks.

Do I use hashtags here?
#newhere #newuser #helloworld
I guess I do.

in reply to Erik van Schaaik

I love how a lot of us are or have migrated over the fediverse and decentralized social media platforms such as this, Mastodon, and Pixelfed. I am pretty new here myself!

Bad News Thursday


It has appeared as though my mood has dipped in a rather inconvenient fashion and now I am trying to cope with that. Sleep deprivation and listening to a sad audiobook probably didn't help with that. Lol Here's to hoping that I'll get distracted enough for that to go away.

@Ruud
I'm looking for the setting how posts with a lot of text are hidden behind a link.
This setting exists on another instance, but not here.

in reply to Thomas

Ahh yes I wanted to enable that but hadn't yet 😀
It's now enabled and can be found under Settings > Addons > "Show More" settings
in reply to Ruud

@Ruud
OK, now it will be cut off after a certain number of characters.
The setting I mean is a little different.

The maximal pixel height of posts before the Show More link is added, 0 to disable

don't like this

This is getting very serious. Everybody needs to make a concerted effort to find an alternative to these platforms.


American corporations have participated directly in a genocide


Since #Microsoft, #Google and #Amazon, and perhaps others, have participated directly in a #genocide, their CEO's should be indicted by the #ICC .

Security tip: install updates


Keep your applications up-to-date! The apps' developers are frequently patching security holes and exploits. If you don't update, you'll be vulnerable to attackers using those exploits.

So what can we do?
* Make a conscious effort to use a browser instead of an app and block cookies and clear history as much as possible
* Delete your phone's advertising id
* Regularly review the privacy and security setting of anything you log into (app or website)
* Stop impulse buying things advertised on the internet

New to site


Hi all, just starting to learn how to use this site after leaving facebook due to their hate speech changes.

Just so you know, I am what everyone now refers to as trans. This is not something that you decide you want to be you are born this way and cannot change it any more then you can change being human. Yes god made me this way and so the best way to look at it is that its like a major development as a fetus that doesn't develop along the same line as what is considered normal development. Some think of it as a birth defect like so many others that they know about. However too many accept all the misinformation about us and call us perverts/pedophiles etc and just want us destroyed.

I could go on and on about this and how it has effected my life but it will not change how all the lies that has made life harder for me.

Feel free to ask questions and I will answer as best I can.

Stay safe and enjoy life,
Jackie

Remember when that prosecutor said Biden was literally too old to prosecute, and every liberal said yes, very good. This is the rule of law we are the good guys,

(These same people think it's okay for hunter to break gun laws and smoke crack even though his dad wore the bill to jail millions of Black Americans for the same.)

This is where you lost me. There are actually tens of thousands of actual adverbs out there, just waiting to be rediscovered. This one's a sure warning that a statement is edging near the rails, about to go over. Happy to see this one entering its chrysalis stage.




Listen carefully what Bernie has to say!
