Many times we need a place to store our Images, online
Finding some free Image Hosting for Forum, Mastodon and Blog Posts — it's something needed by many of us, when we get active in Forums, etc.
I had to find a place to host images for my Blog pages, as my usual WriteFreely platform does not offer the option of uploading an image to the server.
Have used different ones over the years, and back in December 2019, when I was starting the new Blog, went and spent a day looking for what's available, their features, etc.
Yesterday I came across a small blog, posted at Neocities.org, which I found interesting. It was created using 'Zonelets' – which I hadn't heard about until now.
A bit of link following and I discovered a wonderful new project, which I am now trying out for small posts, hosted at Neocities as well.
Including the link above just reminds me it would be good to revisit and write a new page; as things change, and that page was popular. We could benefit from personal views from others.
So many reasons why. Some sites will not show you content, due to it. Others will carefully track you, even after you have long left. And mobile devices are even worse — if that's possible.
And indeed it is. Behind our backs, under the hood, apps, the operating systems on our devices and all kinds of Trackers are watching. And logging.
Mastodon's Delete/Redraft is a nice and simple tool that can be used for various reasons.
The simplest is when you realize there's some small typo, or the wrong image was attached to a post, maybe. With Delete/Redraft, a quick fix is possible without having to re-enter the text, or to copy it to Clipboard, before using a Delete, then a full new post (or new reply to whichever post it related to, if that was the case).
I find this to be one of the RARE cases when Mastodon offers me more functionality than my Pleroma account — where Delete/Redraft is NOT available (more on this later in the article).
So let's see how we can use this feature in more elaborate ways?
I was pleasantly surprised by the interest generated by my Discover Pleroma. An alternative to Mastodon page. Various people contacted me, interested in trying out Pleroma, and asking for some recommended instances.
So this page is intended to provide :
some thoughts on why it is important, which instance you are in.
general tips on looking up information for any Pleroma instance.
Like, this morning when I start visiting the various instances where I have accounts, friends, a presence.
I switch on my Pinafore client, which is really useful for someone like me. Easy to connect, one click instant switching.
Except, it shows 'Internet Request Failed – Showing offline content' when Todon.NL is the selected instance. A sign something is wrong, like the Net connection at our end being down, or even a remote server being offline for maintenance or other reason.
Sadly, this is not the case here, as @admin@todon.nl has decided that I don't deserve to have the @rgx@todon.nl account which I had for 6 months at least — without any incidents, warnings, reported posts or anything else like it.
