@matdevdug you have brilliantly captured my feelings about Mastodon!

@matdevdug Good article, lots to agree with.

A little feedback / question, if I may? The image near the bottom of the article... it has no alt text, and while I recognise it as Marienborg, it's not labelled as such; and in any case, I have no idea why you've included Marienborg in the article. Perhaps a joke or metaphor that I'm just not getting. ‍️

Finally, the image caption ("Imagine this...") seems to be styled exactly the same as the main paragraph text, so it just looks like the first line of the next paragraph.

Marienborg and caption-styling aside, I have nothing to criticise in the article. Well written, sir

@matdevdug Great article! By the way, a lot of people are looking to follow you on fediverse and can't find you, since there's no link from your website.

@matdevdug Lovely description and insights

@jimkennedy Good point. I added it.

@rvedotrc Yeah I need to be less lazy and fix that in the custom theme.

@matdevdug You could also add an author tag if you like https://rknight.me/blog/setting-up-mastodon-author-tags/ @jimkennedy

@gunchleoc @jimkennedy Huh didn’t know those existed.

@matdevdug @jimkennedy I couldn't easily find it in the docs, which is why I searched the web for it.

@Mastodon Is the author tag feature described on docs.joinmastodon.org, or didn't get it any documentation after the initial announcement on the blog?

I think it should go here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#fields and/or here: https://joinmastodon.org/gd/verification

@matdevdug
Great article. This needs to be read widely!

@matdevdug just read it on lemmy and instantly wanted to follow you here on Mastodon. Great article!
