The word "idea" sounds like "idiate". I'm reminded of this a lot now.

WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) (wn)
ideate
v 1: form a mental image of something that is not present or
that is not the case; "Can you conceive of him as the
president?" [syn: imagine, conceive of, ideate,
envisage]

I have an idea. What if in , the way you quote-post (a la "quote tweet") is by replying to someone then boosting your own message. Works about the same, but requires a click to see the post being replied to.

GIMP 3.0 is released, check it out!

testing.gimp.org/release-notes

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed in any way - from testing and submitting bug reports through to designing, coding, fixing, packaging, testing some more, translating, documenting, hosting, administration, so many people, so much work, so much to be thankful for!

Welcome to GIMP 3.0!

@GIMP Thank you for all the hard work! I've been using GIMP for a while.

(Sorry about all the angry replies, I wish they'd be civil about how they disagree! Change the "offensive" name if you want, but keep up the good work with the actual software! <3)

For parents with kids who are putting out leprechaun traps today: a 3d printed leprechaun hat takes less than 30 mins to print, and is a great thing to leave in their trap after you take the bait.

@Alexandrad1 @anderseknert @quintessence The mod is out of line, using grandstanding language that tries to portray the user as a bad actor. “I’m going to step in”, “you have chosen this action”, “had seemed kind”.

There’s a whole bunch of language about how the mod was almost surprised the account didn’t have a history of misinformation. Deleting a (popular and legit) post about a sensitive topic and then going dark for 18 hours is not really a proper course of action in my book.

@anderseknert

They don't seem to be doing it on bad faith, but I do think they should've asked for more info before deleting your post.

I don't know how Mastodon's backend works, but maybe moderators could have an option that, instead of deleting a post, puts it on hold until the fact-checking process is done, including giving the post owner the chance to comment?

And if they see that it was flagged wrongly, they just enable the post to be seen by everybody again.

Evil is, ultimately, irrational. I mean that as strongly as I can.

Evil is an ongoing exception to good.
