Non-Boomer kids blame Boomers but even though in adulthood, don't do a damn thing about it because scapegoating is the only thing they've got going.



It's been hours since I invoked the @scream bot and it's a no-show on this instance.
Extremely disappointing.

I am unable to find the Bot anywhere. Do you know what type of node it is on, maybe I do not have support for that type of node enabled?

Try following this tag

#infinitescream.bsky.social

If it is on BlueSky and you have a BlueSky account you can enable the connector in your settings. If not, then you can use the BlueSky bridge bot to connect.

bsky.brid.gy/bsky.brid.gy

Ah. Well, it was on botsin.space until that site closed down. It's now on bots.robots.rodeo , and I suspect many other bots are there as well because of the botsin.space shut-down.

I certainly appreciate your efforts! Since I'm not a coder as such, I can't say that I am aware of all standard Friendica features to know everything that works or doesn't work, I'd be happy to keep in touch with what I find here, and compare to other Friendica sites have/had going (one is defunct, actually: Outsourced Math). For all its issues, your site so far is the best one I've been on.


Reality


It does not make you special because you like the right people and hate the wrong people. It just make you the same as your enemy.


Terms Of Service & Rules


I hope all members of this instance are finding the Rogue Project Friendica Instance friendly and comfortable. There are very few rules here other than you cannot use the site to violate the law, DO NOT be rude and/or disrespectful to others on this Instance or other federated Instances and you may not register a Bot Account without first letting the administrator know prior to doing so.

note: TOS and Rules are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to keep up with the TOS and Rules. I will post when I make changes as they occur.

It's weird that I can't find the Endless Screaming bot on this instance. Perhaps it'll show itself if I evoke it. @scream

Also odd that when I typed in @scream there was no selection list generated either. Hmmmmmmmmm....

@Radio Free Trumpistan

When you do a mention (use @username), if that person is not on your contacts or a member of the local instance it is not going to turn up any results. The @scream bot is not on this instance, and if anyone put a bot on my instance without first letting me know I would ban the account anyway. Bots can be useful and they can be an annoyance.



Stock contrarians looking to buy on the dip should be aware that it's likely that the dip hasn't hit bottom yet. If you're inclined to buy at this time, you're more likely to not bet the farm on the dip and instead look toward a more disciplined dollar-cost-averaging approach. and take a stricter position on the role that the P/E plays--you don't want stock in a company with an insane multiple.


I bought some qqq and voov during the dip this morning and made enough to not go hungry again tonight 🎉



I wonder why the Compose button disappears when I'm in Global feed mode on this instance. Strange, strange.

This is standard behavior for friendica. It has behaved this way since first installation and this behavior is consistent on Friendica World which is the only other instance I am a member of. If it is different on another instance then they changed the behavior of the compose button on their instance. The Compose Button only shows when you are on the Home Tab(House Icon) My Posts and Conversations or the My Friends Conversations (Block Icon).

I have added a Scheme to the instance, and it is the default, called Bookface. It is an extension to the Frio Theme. This is a link on some customization you can make with Bookface.

If you do not like Bookface you can choose one of the default Schemes to Frio instead, or even to use a different theme. This can all be adjusted by editing your profile in the Display Tab.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Thanks! As a rule I tend to be content with however admin sets up things. What I said was simply an observation about something I found peculiar. On a positive note, I'm glad that you have a working emoji button in the editor. 😃

Introduction sorta


#introduction
...to a new instance, that is. Outsourced Math went kaput and Friendica My Portal became irretrievably unusable (and I like Friendica generally speaking but find instances of that few and far between) so now I hope to settle in the Rogue Project with hopes it lasts longer than the other two Friendica instances I was on.

I'm a Google Plus refugee who began in the Fediverse via Diaspora, only to find that to be highly problematic; Mastodon, I find quirky but that depends on the instance too, by the looks of it. Currently on the highly curtailed Qoto instance for Mastodon, so still looking around albeit casually for a new place for that.

I occasionally play #9OclockHashtagGames and participate in #monsterdon, and I do not boost posts with links to paywalled media (rare exceptions, tho) or YouTube anything until they change their policy regarding ad blockers. Paywallers and ad block blockers need to pay me in advance for promoting anything of theirs online. They don't get a free promotional ride on my dime.

Self hosting is not exactly a piece of cake 😉. And even after you got your Instance up and running you would not be able to control more than what Addon is available unless you are a developer. Then you still run into propagation issues as you have no user base.

Thanks for the Follow--actually, that made the Mention post button show up. The post button is still missing, so still working things out.

The mitigating factor in hashtags is that one cannot feasibly navigate the Fediverse without them. Another is that GPlus refugees will be ale to locate me because that's a community we used to have in common, and we wish to re-connect. One of the hashtags in my Profile is in fact vintage GPlus: #SkyHunters and there will be others I'll add as I think of them...such as #Twikipedia .

I believe it is a good thing to be there and actually listen. Though do not expect immediate results. Healing takes time and you do not heal from years of trauma in a discussion. If we expect more than what is realistic then we could become jaded and believe we cannot help. This would be unfortunate.

I agree completely. Often times people say "It happened for a reason..." and they are right. Just not the reason they suppose. Confirmation Bias is extremely hard for us to get past even with the best of intentions.
