I can't believe I didn't post this earlier! Anyway, here is a Dreamwidth entry of mine containing all sorts of links related to dandyism, including an entire section on Beau Brummell. As you can tell, this is another one of my great passions.

In case you missed it, this one is devoted to fashion itself.

This is truly ridiculous. In order to post here, I have to use Semaphore, TWBlue or Pachli, because I can't figure out how to do it on the main site. I know I did it a few times, but it's very difficult to find and is not available as and immediate edit box. In order to read my own posts, I have to go to the main site or Pachli, because I can't do it on Semaphore or TWBlue. (Note. I figured out how to red them but can't reply on Semaphore, since there is no edit box.) So I basically have to use several sites plus an app (I almost never use apps for any websites) just to be able to use Friendica. I specifically left Facebook due to inaccessibility! Even with this mess, it's still not as horrible as there, but It would be nice to have one site where I could do it all, like on Dreamwidth, or at least one Windows client that would allow me to do everything, without having to resort to using my phone! Tweesecake was nice the few times it worked, but now, no matter what I do, I can't even get it to load. It says something about configuring and then disappears! Enafore is supposed to allow me to edit my posts, but I have no idea how to do that since there is no normal edit link or button, and half the time, when I go to my page, the edit box for me to type in isn't even there! Semaphore inserts rubbish when I'm trying to write tags, so that I have to write everything in Notepad and paste it in.

Ugh! I was hoping one of the blind clients would have at least explored Friendica by now! Other than that, how is the server you're on?
in reply to Robert Kingett

@Robert Kingett I'm a very happy Friendica user and I use Tweesecake which works well with it. Do you mean that a client should be on a Friendica instance? If so, I agree.


Since I've been writing a lot about accessibility and the annoyance of modern websites and programs today, I wanted to show you a perfect example of a website that is accessible! Every single thing here reads perfectly. Everything makes sense and is usable. I have never had a single headache using this site. I wish these developers could be hired to work on other things, since they very clearly know what they're doing!

If any Dreamwidth developers are here, thank you for making at least one technological thing in my life easy and enjoyable! At least I don't have to worry about your site suddenly becoming a nightmare, like Facebook. Now could you please consider making a social networking site or at least client for Friendica/Mastodon?

Well, it finally happened. Facebook did, in fact, discontinue the Basic Mobile site. So I will be posting on here and Dreamwidth a lot more from now on. Speaking of which, I wrote alot there over the last few days, filling in entries from earlier in the month. Anyone can read or comment on my entries, whether or not he is a member. I also have an extensive profile there, as well as a post containing links to essays on various topics. I will be sharing particular links with all of you that you may read or ignore, as you wish.
