Wer stรคndig verwirrt und Panik entfacht,

der hat sich den Teufel zum Mentor gemacht.

Mit Angst und mit Schrecken wird fleiรŸig regiert,

bis keiner mehr fragt, was wirklich passiert.

Doch eines ist sicher: Die Rechnung kommt spรคt,

wenn keiner mehr weiรŸ, wohin er noch geht!

"Whatever it takes" โ€“ noble Phrasโ€™,

modernes Gefasel mit fragwรผrdโ€™gem SpaรŸ.

"Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg" in schickerer Form,

Inhalt bleibt gleich โ€“ nur softer im Ton.

Man dreht an den Worten, das Ziel bleibt gleich,

Geschichte recycelt โ€“ politischer Streich!

Unable to Add Certain Contacts to Circles


@Friendica Support @support@forum.friendi.ca

Apologies for posting about this again, but I didn't see any replies and was hoping someone might have an idea.

I have set up a number of different Circles, and for the most part, they are working well.

However, when setting up and editing Circles, not all my contacts appear as options to add to the Circle.

Why is this, and is there a work-around or way to fix it?

Thank you!

They are all Bluesky accounts, but I do not have this problem with all of my Bluesky contacts - some Bluesky contacts I can add to Circles just fine. They are not private accounts, and we mutually follow each other, so I wouldn't think either of those is the issue.

Hi there @islieb? !
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.

The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:
Drawing of a man sitting in a cave with is son, in the background a sunset is visible. He explains his kid that humanity ended like this because it wasn't reasonable to hurt the economy.
Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:
The same drawing. This time the text states that because of not willing to accept algorithms, centralized servers or advertisement, they are living that simple but beautiful life.

It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..

Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal @all ?

@islieb?

I guess I'll have to restart my friendica accounts now to calm my conscience.

I was about to try to tease you into open one, as you could handle all of your fedinetworks from there, crossposting to D* and bluesky and so on.
Or even to set you up your own instance, if you have a domain or subdomain name.
Actually I guess you could create things like "Vorpremiere publishing for subscribers" and things like that.
Limiting access to published posts and even images. Not really paywalled, I guess we all hate that, but courtesies like things the commoners are going to see next week, behind the scenes and all that influencer celeb fan stuff you know ..

Wir wurden belogen, man glaubt es ja kaum!

Merz lรผgt noch dreister als Mรผnchhausens Traum.

CDU drin, doch links kommt heraus,

und Schulden gibtโ€™s gratis, ein riesiges Haus!

Versprochen war Ordnung, doch Chaos regiert,

die Wรคhler sind baff โ€“ total irritiert!

Donald Trump hat 1 Monat nach
seiner Wahl fast ALLE seine
Wahlversprechen weitergemacht.

Friedrich Merz hat 1 Tag nach
seiner Wahl praktisch ALLE seine
Wahlversprechen in den Mรผll geworfen.
