  1. From a fully formed perspective, forty years later, I can admit the small, rural #hometown of my childhood was a #sundowntown cesspool of #childabuse and enabling.

    (Pop. 2,000, 16 churches) A quote from a wife of one of the Ministers: "Around here, your reputation is more important than your record." (Note: 'record' in this example referred specifically to *criminal* record...but it's also true, more broadly, of just about any past, sordid behavior)

    Too bad mastodon is incapable of rendering #Markdown or punishing posts with more than 500 characters.

    That's perhaps a good reason to consider moving to #Fediverse platforms like #Akkama, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Pleroma, and #suffix, and #SoapBox.

  7. @Vivaldi What about the rest of us millions of people in the #Fediverse, and the millions more coming soon with #Tumblr and #Imgur integrating into the Fediverse?

    Even #WordPress and #Drupal call their integrations "Fediverse" and #ActivityPub.

    Platforms like #Friendica, #Soapbox, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #PeerTube, #Misskey, #Mitra, #Akkama, #Calkey, #FunkWhale, #Hubzilla, #MicroPub, #Hometown, #Quanta, #Epicyon, #GoToSocial, #Socialhome, and many many more Fediverse platforms with people seamlessly engaging and interacting with each other globally...

    And you choose to place the logo of a single Fediverse platform - a Fediverse server with one of the most limited feature sets of all, in your sidebar?

    Know that mastodon interaction is identical to most any other Fediverse "brand" above, except that it doesn't render #Markdown and other types of text input, and only enables a paltry limit of 500 characters per post, doesn't support quoted boosts like the others, and after all this time only in the last month has introduced an "edit" function standard in other Fediverse servers for years.

    Perhaps your choice to commercialize and capitalize on that single brand to the detriment of the others, is more of a #disservice to those of us who have been advocating for and using #Vivaldi, than any sort of benefit it could have been to the great asset that the #FOSS built Fediverse is to decentralized social networking and safe communications for people around the globe.

    You made a really bad call there.
