    2026-04-04 Updated the fonts for Caint using Bunny Fonts as the web font service. Specifically, Space Grotesk for the headings (Topic titles, category names) and Asap for the body text (This text that you are reading) - If you have any feedback on the fonts used or have a suggestion, please let me know in @comments-feedback Reintroduction of extended formatting tools when creating posts. This includes alignment, headings, spoilers, etc. I am working to make this available on in the “Quick Reply” box at the bottom of threads. [image: 1775312889790-7cd470be-d475-4891-8953-8a00a92ec444-image.jpeg] Removal of themes that are not being used. They were never in effect. Also, clean up of plugins on the NodeBB side to weed out stuff not being used EDIT: Some basic formatting buttons are now available on the quick-reply. Bold, Italics and link [image: 1775319587259-0b755628-7504-4791-915e-0b443859f0da-image.jpeg]

    @nikclayton @scottjenson I'm not sure if you had some pent up anger and anxiety that we just caught a stray, or what. But these characterizations are unfair based on OPs questions. And I say that as the Fediverse's number 1 critic.I can guarantee you if you would've answered "I don't know," you wouldn't have received the pushback you're clearly anticipating.I'm listening to your podcast as I type this, and hearing how you all want to leave corporate social media, but you're here treating this place like corporate social media.This isn't a place where everyone's goal is centered on themselves. People here care about the collective, because otherwise why would anyone be here? There's no algorithm to game.No one expects you to have all the answers because no one here has all the answers. But people do expect you to participate in the greater community.That starts with dropping the smug attitude, man. You have no idea what the average Mastodonian is like. You only know what the tech elite say about us. And most of that is wildly unfair characterizations.This is one of the only places on the Internet fighting the corporatization of the web.We have trust and safety folks working their ass off for little to no pay. Server admins paying out of pocket so we can have something better than Facebook. Developers submitting bugs and building infrastructure so you can come here and conduct your experiment.Those people deserve more than a knee jerk reaction. So recalibrate.What you're doing here has a potential to be something really cool. But it won't work if you're gonna isolate yourself from the people you need. And trust me, you will need them.You will soon learn how hard it is to keep this place afloat. And that's before considering how many in the corporate web don't want us here.

  • Traditional, contemporary, guilty pleasures. If it makes noise, it’s welcome here.
