HELP: looking for sources on fascist aesthetics. Why fascists (Nazi Germany, other fascist countries, and current fascist movements) like minimalism, Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and architecture, and “elegant” beauty.

And why they banned the kinds of art they banned.

Friends who are older than me: do you have any good stories of encountering spam on the early internet? (PLEASE BOOST FOR REACH)

90s or pre-2005 please!

I might end up quoting your example in an article 😊

Looking for advice from people who use both and - how do you use the two? Are they completely separate for you? Or do you use one to promote the other? Do you post one type of content on each? We can see the strengths and weakness of both platforms and have been kind of puzzled about how we want them each to be. Any thoughts / advice / best practices from the wider would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a kid-friendly painting app for iPad? Something like Kid Pix? Kindergarten/elementary age. No ads, no in-app purchases, no commercial characters (ideally).

I hunted for this a couple years ago and came up empty handed. #recommendations #askmastodon #parenting

: I need recommendations for resources to learn financial concepts and .

I have advanced knowledge up to and including multivariable calculus. My background is in physics though.

I am a business owner and want to make some financial models for budgets for fun (but also hopefully useful).

But I never studied or in any way.

has anyone heard if the major social media management apps are adding or have added Mastodon. I feel this has been a majornreason we haven't seen broader adoption in the corporate or government space.

Christ, so money got taken out of the account for something we didn't see coming and now the money we had set aside to get us to the grocery store and back is gone.

I hate doing this, I really really hate doing this, but we have no way to come up with money between now and the first and we need groceries. Transportation expenses kill us every month and now we don't even have enough for this much.

Would anyone be able to help? We would need about 25 to 30 dollars round trip, probably 30 just to be on the safe. It's totally fine if not. I don't ever make a thing out of doing this but when things get bad, sometimes you godda ask for help.

My Cashapp is $EmmyPawprints

Could even send the money back to you come the first, or two days before as my bank pays me early.

Thanks in advanced.

It looks like Mastodon Groups are in the works. I wonder what that would look like. Would it cover services on ActivityPub other than Mastodon? Does any microblogging platform out there already offer a similar feature?

If anyone has insights, please enlighten us!

Is there a way to view/follow groups of together in a separate timeline, similar to putting groups of people on lists?

The only way I can see is to have several accounts that follow different hashtags.

Maybe there's a client software that allows to filter the timeline by groups of hashtags?

I'm really interested in moving a podcast from Spreaker to Castopod, though I have no interest in self-hosting it at this time. Does anyone have any insight into what the pros and cons might be for such a move? Thanks in advance!

Question: If or the wider decided tomorrow that all instances had to be only one of these three choices, which kind would you choose to join? Feel free to comment why you made your choice.

And feel free to boost widely - quite curious about everyone's view!

Portable monitors the kind you attach to laptop, phone (mostly Samsung Galaxy, which I have). I wonder what ppl's experience/opinions are.

Amazon is littered w such monitors for $100-$300, depending on day, features. Eg https://a.co/d/eysO0gy

I've been thinking of buying one for travel and for my wife's use at home, but I'm not sure how well they work: Which usage modes does it (not) work well? What to watch for if buying?

If you're an artist, take this as a warning.

This account steals art from original artists and blocks the original artists when they do so. Look out!

Don't say I didn't warned you next time.

How can I see the character limit of a mastodon server before singing up for an account?

looking for a server with bigger than 500 character limit

edit: https://donkey.social/@cthululemon/111552406935199838 solution seems very good.
follow up question on this:
know of a small instance with large character limit?

Does anyone have one original ZX Spectrum 128k +2 tv cable and can provide me a picture of it?

All the pictures that i find online are not what i remember so i just want to know if my nostalgic brain is tricking me or not.

🗺️ Is there an app that keeps track of where you’ve walked on a map, so you can seek out streets you haven’t been down yet? Sort of a gamification of exploring one’s neighborhood (or someone else’s while traveling).

EDIT: Looks like https://citystrides.com/ is exactly what I was asking for. Also, Personal Heatmap in Strava subscription may work too. Thanks, everyone!

EDIT 2: Also https://wandrer.earth/

Does anyone know of or how to locate Steinfeld comic strip history? Comic strip name? Author's full name? An official website? Please BOOST for greater reach.

I use to see it in the newspaper in the 1990s. Now I'm struggling to find anything more than what I have archived of the comic strips itself.
