Now that quote posts are coming (confirmed by Renaud https://oisaur.com/@renchap/112299860209222424 ), I think it important that we have agreed upon acceptable usage.

Quote posts can be an amazing tool – there's a good reason they're so requested – but they also have the potential to add massive amounts of toxicity.

Gargron recognised this years ago: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/99662106175542726

So here's my proposal for the Do's and Dont's of quote posting on Mastodon. Please boost!

@NatureMC I feel this might be the new "What to put behind a CW". I love Cw and I use it sometimes, but I don't appreciate people coming to lecture me on how to use it. @Brendanjones Do you know if mastodon will add the possibility to limit who replies to a post? For example in a public post you could decide that only mutuals can reply.

Truly and honestly, I have a great time here, because you all make it great. You boost, you reply, you encourage, and inspire! It is crazy to me that I get to talk to people from all over the world every day. I get to be friends with people I'll probably never actually get to physically meet. I was born into a pre-internet world, and this still feels a little like a miracle to me.

@RickiTarr @angiebaby I had one in Italy!

@angiebaby @RickiTarr oh that's amazing! Mine was the daughter of some friends of my parents. We met in CR when we were kids briefly and we kept sending each other letters several years (by handwritten letters when she was in Italy, then by email more recently when she was studying in Canada). I saw her once like 15 years ago in Panama. Last thing I heard about her, she was living in Peru.

Looking at this figure, one pattern that I see is that nationals of a country loves their own food (French people love French food, Thai people loves Thai food and so on). This makes sense to me because people love flavors that brings back nice memories. I would have loved to see food preferences of Latin American people and not just how Latin American food is perceived by other countries.

@mem I think Costa Rican traditional cuisine is good but a lot of it isn't done anymore. My grandma used to cook stuff that I haven't seen in restaurants.
I wonder if Argentineans appreciate more the food from Brazil or Mexico than the one from Thailand or Morocco, for example. Peruvian food is excellent.
(When I posted this I wasn't aware that this was mostly an article about American perception of other countries'food but I still find that maybe this isn't about the "best of the world".)

@mina @mem uy una vez probé comida de Etiopía y me pareció buenísima, sobre todo un cordero picante con algo parecido a una crepa esponjosa. Es un poco eso que dice Megan, si no conoces un tipo de cocina, es fácil decir que no es tan buena.

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

@RickiTarr I was a lonely kid. I loved reading and wasn't interested in parties or getting drunk so I was usually listening to music or reading in corners. I had a couple of friends but I wasn't really well there. I discovered my people in college and then I rediscovered high school mates (some of the ones that weren't bullies).

What's going on?

Since yesterday, I'm suddenly getting ugly messages from Nazis, transphobes, white supremacists etc.

Of course, I block and report them all, but I wonder: Is it just me, or is the Fedi facing an invasion?

@mina oh no! I'm sorry that's happening to you. I haven't seen anything unusual but I don't get messages from non mutuals. I'll be more aware of your posts to come against the fachos!
Sending you a hug in the meantime. You are amazing and it's a pleasure to interact with you.

Can you find the horned lizard?

I used to love this game that AfroHerper played on ExTwitter, so here's my version of it from the recent Mexico biodiversity cataloging expedition.

There is a Ditmars horned lizard ("horny toad") in this photo. It's the one I found and the first of only two found on the trip. It's a juvenile about 3" long.

If you see it, don't spill the beans! I'm hitting the road soon, but will give the answer tomorrow or tonight.

BTW, it's not hidden in the watermark or anything sneaky like that. They are just really hard to spot on the ground until they move.

@Mikal I also loved that game. Thanks for this. It was really hard but fun.

As a rice eater, great rice dishes are totally what excite me. I want a ‘seasoned rice’ popup that just does 2-3 global ‘seasoned rice’ from around the world.

Jollof and nasi liwet.
Biryani and jambalaya.
Pilau and arroz rojo.

@skinnylatte rice n beans from the Caribbean coast of Central America! It's a mixture of red beans and rice in coconut milk with thyme and habanero pepper. It usually comes with chicken in coconut sauce and fried plantains.

Have you ever tried to measure a cat with a tape measure? It will make you question the solidity of dimensional space.

Pica, small cat
Height: 22 to 47cm
Girth: 33 to ??cm (ouch cm)
Length: 37cm
Length w/ tail: 66cm
Weight: 5.9 pounds/ 2.7 Kg
Max Length (Dangle): 74cm! oh no

she's getting longer.

Rate of Enlonganmentation
dML/dt: 1.2cm / second

No signs of increase stopping. Cat keeps increasing.
All clear! ALL CLEAR!
Soon she will be in all locations.

This was a bad project idea.

Update del jardín: las berenjenas no quisieron salir, los pepinos no tienen muy buena pinta pero los tomates cherry del año pasado siguen dando flores y frutos y de esta temporada tengo algunas calabazas, un chile (el otro se lo regalé a la vecina) y varios tomates (sembré muchos cherry y no cherry, a ver qué salen 😂). Aquí les va una muestra ☺️

Tres plantulas de calabaza en una maceta

Lo de que haya comunidades online buscando una red social más amable y segura y hayan llegado a Mastodon y se encuentren a gusto, me parece de lo más bonito que hay en este internet de corporaciones y trackings y marketing y beneficios.
