@jws hey Jeremy, I think I've that sorted out now. The Hugo Docs are appalling like that, written for an ideal set of devs, not for users.
@joeo10 guys, This is a really interesting discussion; but, as someone who the whole journaling thing passed by, what's the benefit of it? What does it, you know, do?

@matigo it really is starting to look very interesting. I've also worked out that (since my move to flat text files for all my professional work) b2 offers me significant savings in respect of backup for my actually important data; just need to encrypt the lot with some intelligent system before uploading
@hybotics I'm really hoping that manton Reece's micro.blog, or @matigo's v5 of 10c will be a properly working self hosted micro posting system

@bazbt3 you did. all of the most worthwhile and wonderful relationships I have that started on the internet, they all started in irc, or, before that, usenet
@rafial sure, except that was followed by people putting together block lists of child-porn spamming instances, which was immediately followed by the usual bollocks about Freedumb of Speech.
if someone insists that child porn is free speech, then I really don't consider anything hey have to say about anything to be worth listening to. I certainly have no intention of hanging around in a space where the argument is occurring.

Really, the ability of people from a particular nation to drag their idiot culture war into absolutely everything is quite bizarre.
@jws oh, that's what should happen. Except a load of (American) freedumb of speechers are screaming that that's trampling on their rights and oppressing them and is fascist SJW &c
// @streakmachine
I see that mastodon is already gone the way of all federated social nets: hijacked by freedumb of speech spouting American purveyors of child porn. 'Tis always thus.
