in reply to WIST Quotations • •Hi, Gerd. I use Friendica as my Fediverse tool for these posts, as it doesn't have the post length limitations of most Mastodon instances, and allows for BBCode formatting tags. Remarkably enough, most Mastodon (etc.) clients will display the formatting and the full length of the posts, even if they cannot be natively done in Mastodon.
Underlying all of this is the source WIST.info website I run (manually mirrored in a bit shorter version here), which is powered by WordPress.
