This is what gets me about #Trump supporters.
Trump: migrants are shit!
Supporters: Yeah!
T: Blacks are shit!
S: Yeah!
T: Single women are shit!
S: Yeah!
T: Soldiers are shit!
S: Ye-- hey, wait a minute, I'M a soldier! Die, Trump you scumbag!

And the GOP... "If only we'd have known he'd offend GOP people! He had only offended Blacks, women, naturalized citizens, N.Haley, R.DeSantis, M.Pence, ..."

Wait, what? OWL is going native? That's wonderful! See my earlier post about OWL plugin not being compatible with the Send Later functionality.

Here's the epilogue to my post: our workplace switched to standard IMAP servers from Microsoft, and I happily stayed with Thunderbird. Thank you #Thunderbird!

I'm not clear on the intent behind that post...
"Unlisted is just like Public, except it does not show up on federated or local timelines or hash tag searches or text searches."
But doesn't that make all the difference? Unless you happen to have lots of lots of followers, the Unlisted status would generally keep people from seeing your post, wouldn't it?

It would be like saying, Not hitting the Post button is same as hitting the Post button, except that people won't see your posts.

@apps
*Absolutely* keep. I _love_ markdown! Though this is my /first/ time using it...

@apps
Wait, why did both the asterisk and underscore show up as italics? And the slashes didn't do anything... how do I do bold and underline?

@axolotlol

Bookmark = you like the post

Favorite = you like the post, and tell the post author. Same as Star. (The star shows that you mark this post as a favorite)

Boost = you like the post, and tell not only the post author, but all your followers, who can see the post on their home stream. Do this if you think others should see the post, too.

Welcome to #Mastodon!

I was just as lost as you in late 2022 when I first joined.

As a good starting point, follow the account @feditips , and the hashtag #feditips . It will give you a better experience.

Feel free to ask me if you want. I'm no expert, but I might know who to ask to get an answer to your question.

@apps
Thank you!
Right now F-Droid only shows version 3.23.1, but when 3.24.0 comes out, I'll certainly upgrade!

@apps
Can we get a clearer marker that something is a video?
Colored frame, word label or whatever (as long as it's outside the video frame and at least part of it doesn't overlap the video).

2nd copy:
Is there a way to create a list of everyone I'm following who is not already on a list, or some other way to exclude specific accounts?
Sometimes I see accounts I want to follow later when I'm in the mood (eg. tech news), so I follow the accounts, and I put them in a tech news list, but I don't want them in my home timeline, or I want a list that is same as my home timeline but without tech news.
I follow too many accounts to manually make a list for "everything else".
