@manton I started blogging with PostNuke, got hacked, and switched to WP. I used WP for years until it got dramatic so I switched to PostHaven, which I used for several years and have now moved to MB and I don't regret it in the slightest. PH is great, but has some frustrating limitations, though I do love the fact that since I've paid for years that they'll retain access effectively "forever" (whatever that means these days). I now can't see ever going to back to WP or PH, or any other platform, for that matter. Thanks @manton!
I will echo the issue noted by @timapple and would, as a non-coder, appreciate a simpler, more complete theming experience. For example, I can't figure out how to format a little code that puts links to posts I've tagged as "featured" in my Tiny sidebar. I've never had a propensity for programming, so learning to code to accomplish this makes this, for me at least, essentially unachievable.

@manton I was a Wordpress peep for a very, VERY long time. Now they're just gross. Up to their necks in corrosive capitalism. Simply charging a reasonable rate for a reasonable service, like MB, just seems to be a bridge too far for some people, regardless of the honorable intentions they had when they started. Make mine Micro.blog!

@manton Why anyone would make a "joke" about false claims of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH. eating cats and dogs while running for the single largest and most influential political position on Earth is beyond me. And jokes are supposed to be funny, not incite dozens of bomb threats, shutdown schools, tank local businesses, and for the Ohio's Governor to plead for help protecting his citizens. I'm not laughing, and I would like to think that many of my fellow Americans don't find this a funny joke, either.

@Strandjunker Well, to be more specific... everyone who knew and could do something about it, didn't. Everyone who knew about it but couldn't do anything about it, raged about it into the internet void. Anyone else who had no clue what was going on just weren't paying enough attention. I know that peeps on the internet say that they care all the time, but do we really? Are enough people now uncomfortable enough to finally push for real change? I sure as hell hope so because time is running out.

@manton Yeah. No kidding. I didn't even know they were running an instance. Seems like a wasted vector to not integrate it with Firefox.

@manton As sad as it is to be put into such a position, it seems like the prudent choice. I think it's a smart call. If it were me, I'd just put them on hold until after the election, but I wouldn't be happy about doing it. Sorry, peep.

@manton The trailers for the film show that it's gorgeous. I am eager for a first viewing in preparation for a review :D

@manton Can I just get a regular sized iPhone non-pro with a flat back and a simple single-lens shooter? Maybe just the same front shooter on the back? That would be nice :)

@manton Great book! Haven't read it in many, many years :) I should refresh my memory by reading it again!

@manton I have a BlueSky account, but I almost never look at it. I tried to set up a Threads account after you added it to Sources, but gave up after trying to get Instagram to login with the correct account and then validate a Threads account. Just don't need it. Such a pain. I'm fine with Mastodon which is where I see most of your posts anyway :D

@manton I personally use MarkEdit for macOS and keep open tabs for everything I'm working on. Simple, fast, clean. I just wish it had a Save All function. Of course, this is a moot point if you don't use a Mac. github.com/MarkEdit-...

@DemocracyMattersALot I've been saying this for years. I'm glad someone with actual street cred is now saying the true part out loud.

@manton I can't agree more. I just wish there were more projects that focused more on accessibility for non-technical people. I'm not a coder, but I've got years of experience wrangling various technologies in numerous roles, so it's easier for me, but I can easily see how hard it would be for peeps who get thrown for a loop when a desktop app icon gets moved and now their program has "disappeared". I know it's not easy, but if more projects could implement some kind of standardized UI/UX methodologies as core to their development, I think things would improve. That, and documenting everything. Please!

@manton I concur. Despite the time taken to get there, it was very powerful. Very much looking forward to tonight :D

@writingslowly Nice. I hadn't set up Notes yet, and using macOS, I was able to copy the key on my Mini and paste it into Strata on my iPhone. Quick, easy setup. Thanks for this!

@manton Imagine doing something difficult and critical for 24 months. He did that for 24 YEARS. National Guard is just as important as those who go overseas. How safe would America be if we sent all of our firefighters to other countries and didn't have any here. It's bizarre to suggest that National Guardspeople are less than somehow.
