      Handouts done this wink or eeeeeelse...

      Also avatar has not cleared up by itself so... will have to try that from a different device or client... (probably my configuration problem with my local server. I'll figure it out.)

      Good: The profile Icon and Banner images uploaded fine on the first try via the mobile webapp. (waterfox mobile, noscript whitelisted, recentish android kernel) Guessing there's a hiccup in the configurations between the browser I was using on desktop and the desktop environment itself. Honestly I'm thrilled #gajim works as well as it does with integration, and that #Psi+ still plays nicely with media.

      Eventually I will learn NOT to compose in the movim window. Use a text editor...

      I thought I accidentally fed my intro post to the UI yesterday, but this morning I discovered our local draft mechanic. What a relief.
      I've only done a few posts of different lengths on Movim, and on entire other servers so, we'll see how many ollies it takes to jump this learning curve.
      Currently I'm in a waiting-phase of tinkering to see if my profile staple images appear properly, of if I'm accidentally jamming upload with a plugin or desktop incidental.

    Hullo.

    You can call me Zeige. I try help people better their netizinship and digital independence. I'm going to be so good at migrating very soon. There is a lot to do, and this is neither my first nor last rodeo. My priority right now is finishing presentation modules for ASAP on-boarding assistance and talking to locals. Right after that is migrating my content here and uploading informational, which takes some finishing and reformatting.

    E/Immigration of every kind is inevitable and necessary, like the flow of water. We always need people to have a hot drink and 15 about the in-between steps. And let's not kid ourselves -- there is some vocabulary and cultural adjustment in the crossover between the casino-racetracks and the independent federation, our effervescent and organic flotilla. Reciprocity, user consent care, and self-management/right-to-repair are core values of the Fediverse and FLOSS, and there is nothing teaching these or practical privacy configurations in the ad-mills. To maintain that, I include a little history (what's Gnu Herd?) and etiquette (why AltTxt and CW are Normal not Optional) gets in with the maps and instance selection discussion, with a few jokes for padding, of course.

    Thanks for your patience, neighbors. Live long and prosper.
