Qoto has a modified and VERY nice Wide Screen theme -- one of only two instances I had seen at the time.

I have collected dozens of screenshots, and only Qoto and Todon would give me this -- screenshot below.

The additonal niceness of suppressing the left side panel completely, and putting reply boxes right under any posts, those are Escuero's work -- and made possible by using his neat Collapsed Mastodon addon for Firefox or chrome.

It's done at runtime, and it would be optimal if the local theme incorporated the CSS mods Escuero's work does.

But that needs someone with the skill and time to handle that.

My goal is to see if Glitch devs will see it as useful and take these in -- honestly, they are great ideas and improve the Mastodon experience greatly.

Won't wait for Eugen, as he's got his own ideas and too much to do already.

@realcaseyrollins A change in environment can change everything.

For example, I learned that some people keep lions as house pets, and once researched what it would take. Apparently you need a huge amount of space for the lion to run around, things to climb and jump on, places to hide, etc. Without these things, the lion becomes depressed.

I think people are like that too. A lot of depression we face is not due to chronic mental illness (some of it might be), but rather due to living in an environment not conducive to happiness.

The idea of "designing a new environment" is foundational to who I am and what my politics are. This is why I've always been more left-leaning in my politics, and why the idea of "radical" politics (ie changing things "at the roots") attracts me.

I think there are just some ways of doing things we haven't discovered yet.
> Joanna Hoffman, the former right-hand woman of Steve Jobs, says Facebook is ‘peddling in an addictive drug called anger’

I think she is probably right. Internet outrage drives mainstream social media. Twitter seems just as bad, if not worse.

I'd like the Fediverse to be a place of laughter, not anger. How can we design it to encourage that behavior?
@freemo @dsfgs @lnxw37a2 @realcaseyrollins the difference is that BTC's inflation is bounded and monotonically decreasing whereas a central bank has no such limitations.

Especially in a time of war or national crisis.

Like illegal secessions...

Protesters in #Seattle have taken over a section of the city (#CHAZ) including a police precinct building abandoned by police. The chief reports emergency calls have more than tripled in the zone, many for violent crimes like rapes & robberies, but police weren't able to respond. twitter.com/KRHogan_NTD/status #News #Protesters

This is a good passage to remember while thinking about Earthly authority: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"

I don't know about all of you, but I hate Twitter with a burning passion.
