I love that I can make blog posts on Friendica. Like proper ones with inline images, as many as I want, with formatting the text, add links to text, and so on. Even markdown works. Here's my latest post as a proof of that social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4…

Why are people not using Friendica more? Baffled! Why would I use something that limits my words or the post formatting...!?

@Michael Vogel and @Hypolite Petovan deserve all of my respect for creating/maintaining Friendica. Many many thanks! #tromlive

On the other hand, constraints foster creativity, so there is some value in arbitrary limits.

Thanks for the nod, it's always appreciated!

I don't make use of it myself for a variety of reasons (i use Wordpress for my blog), but Friendica is cool!

I get a HTTP 403 Forbidden instead of a blog post...

This link works fine (please CW next time), but the one from your other post (social.trom.tf/redir/71?url=di…) does not.

This is a private URL Friendica uses to authenticate logged in users on remote nodes, it isn’t meant to be shared publucly.

Yes I have edited the post since @nebunez :manjaro: :emacs: pointed out a day ago. Maybe you didn't see the corrected post. Cheers

@hypolite yes your edit didn't arrive at my hometown instance, though other friendica edits do apparently.
