I can't seem to reshare this, so embedding it instead --

Huh, did you add the tag manually or is that one tag the only one that came along for the ride?

Does it have bluetooth?

Hi, @Harena Atria. Iâ€™ve missed you and Woozle. I love legwarmers, the color is wonderful.

Donâ€™t listen to @Doug Senko until he figures out how to post a photo. :p

Hi Michele! Thank you, they are very snuggly but alas it is too warm to wear them now! And well, you probably remembered about me & green ;)

No Worries, I never trust bluetooth to have a good connection anyway ;)

Doug: no bluetooth yet, but I think R&D might be able to swing greentooth. (That's a thing, right? Wireless does come in different colors, I'd hope?)

Harena: I tagged it manually. I figured if people were looking for the other tags, they'd be better off finding your original post.

I was just wondering if they showed up on their own with the reshare but I guess since it was an embed instead of an Actual Reshare, they wouldn't necessarily.

Woozle Hypertwin

Yeah, I don't know why it wouldn't let me reshare. I've reshared other posts.

Hi @Woozle Hypertwin. I really miss the Sacred Wheel.

I do, @Harena Atria. It's not easy being green. ;)

Hope you and the family are well. It's been a hell of a year.

I could attempt to reconvene The Sacred Wheel in any of several possible forms... I think we'd need to talk Marla into trying new tech, however, in order to get a critical mass

Do you Discord, by any chance?

Harena Atria

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 19:31:14 -0400

We're so far, so good, corona virus-wise.. trying to be overly cautious owing to me being kinda on the cusp of high-risk, whee!

I believe W will answer to the Sacred Wheel yearning...

Michele Hax

I'll text Marla. I think she stopped Twitter, too. I don't Discord. My hands are full taking care of a very sick relative. I need to stay in place, so to speak. It would be nice to reconvene but I don't know where everyone is.

I feel you, @Harena Atria. My son is very sick. This has been such a challenge.

Harena Atria

My sister has been sick for the past 2 weeks or so.. super slow recovery but she does seem to be out of the woods, at least, thank goodness.

I hope your son & relative recovers all right.. this whole thing is super scary & i already suffer from anxiety, so much fun! (/sarcasm in case that wasn't clear)

Michele Hax

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 19:50:38 -0400 from Diaspora

I'm happy to hear about your sister. I had the regular flu back in 2014. It was the worst!

Anxiety? I live for the adrenaline of anxiety. I also live for sarcasm.

Hello, all you beautiful cheese whizzes

. I would love to be in on any reconvening, if that is acceptable to all.

I now have my first friend who is sick with the virus. Should I be embarrassed at how that made everything more real to me?

Michele Hax

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:31:55 -0400 from Diaspora

@nilajones@pluspora.com, that would be wonderful for me. I'm getting in touch with some of the posse.

Keep posted about your friend.

I'm so glad to hear that you are still in touch with Marla!

Harena Atria

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:47:00 -0400

@Michele Hax I had the "regular" flu a year ago Feburary & i was SO SICK then.. took weeks to recover, so I live in fear of this one, that's for sure :/

I definitely have sarcastic anxiety (anxious sarcasm?) myself!

looks forward to finding some way to get the gang back together

Maybe everyone should list the online venues they're familiar with, and whether they'd be willing to try something new if we can't find anything that everyone has in common?

Me: Mastodon, Hubzilla (where I'm posting now), Discord, Slack (meh), Twitter, MediaWiki (can be bashed into shape to be a private threaded forum if that's all we've got), Reddit (does that do private? probably not), MeWe (meh)... probably others I'm not thinking of.
(I've crossed out places where I am but which really aren't good venues for private groups)

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:49:32 -0400

(Does the crossing-out come through on Diaspora?)

Michele Hax

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:50:40 -0400 from Diaspora

I talked to her last around the holidays. This is a time for us to hold each other close.

Harena Atria

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 20:55:14 -0400

I'm pretty much everywhere @Woozle Hypertwin is excepting Twitter (have account, never use) & Reddit.

Hi Harena!

I can be wherever.

I am not very good at maintaining a life on more than one social network. But I prefer more intimate conversation. So if cheeseheads are somewhere other than diaspora, I will probably end up hanging out there and not be here very often

Michele Hax

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 21:01:15 -0400 from Diaspora

Yikes. That's a lot. I think we can do an aspect here. I'm only on pluspora because my brain can't process too much.

What crossing out?

Michele Hax

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 21:27:35 -0400 from Diaspora

Oh. No, it doesn't.

Doug Senko

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 21:43:33 -0400 from Diaspora

I think crossing out requires two of these before and after... ~~crossing out~~

Doug Senko

Sat, 04 Apr 2020 21:43:58 -0400 from Diaspora

whoops,, these things ~~~

What is the plural of tilde? Tildi?

Woozle Hypertwin

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 08:35:55 -0400

The dual-tilde method doesn't work on this end; if I ~~use it anyway~~, does it work on the Diaspora side? (Does Disapora even support strikethru?)

I had a Diaspora account which I opened in 2011 on joindiaspora.com, where I maybe could have done tests, but it seems to have been removed.

Harena Atria

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 08:57:03 -0400

My Diaspora has also vanished (having joined on the same instance as W's when she did) so I also cannot test.

nilajones@pluspora.com

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 11:57:55 -0400 from Diaspora

"use it anyway" shows up as a strikethrough, for me.

Doug Senko

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 14:46:22 -0400 from Diaspora

Yep...another victory for Woozalia...;-0

Woozle Hypertwin

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 17:35:47 -0400

This looks like a Hubzilla bug, then -- markup is not being properly translated. ~~test~~ just shows up here as "test" surrounded by tildepairs. Mayhap the latest version will fix this issue. Mayhap one day soonish I will have time to attempt an upgrade.
