    Is it me, or is the new #Mastodon #quote feature the MOST USELESS tool ever to be designed? It overloads a button, making you take an extra tap to boost, not to mention having to read and target a new menu with a finger or a mouse? In case you didn't know, it is hidden under the boost button in the Web UI. It allows you to quote a whole toot, annotate the quote, and ask, if necessary, if the poster will allow you to do so. The poster can revoke permission....to quote something, copy and paste only the content you need. Be sure to include the user's handle if you want to attribute the quote.Nobody that would abuse quoting, that is would misappropriate or twist a toot's meaning, would use the feature. They will copy and paste. This leaves the remainder of the community doing an extra tap, with the extra dexterity required for potentially challenged users, while trying to figure out why they would use the feature in the first place.Boost for Sample Size when you vote, please!#BoostingIsSharing #poll #fediverse #write #author #writingCommunity #writersOfMastodon #writingCommunity

    @ljwrites @Firlefanz @steaphan I, too, am an author-translator, and I don't bother with machine translation. For one thing, the texts I translate were usually written in 19th century German and use a lot of phrases that are simply no longer in use today.For another, the translation itself is actually the _least_ part of my work - I must also explain all the local cultural, historical, and geographical contexts for these texts. And if I don't think about this during the translation process, the end result will be much worse.

    The urge to rant on here just about the writing community in general is slowly eating away at me. No writers are better than others, not in any way. We're all just writers, published or unpublished, and I'm sitting here saying this as someone who has actually published their work. It doesn't matter. If you write, you're a writer. Period, end of. No such thing as a blunderer, bumbler, non-professional (or amateur, even) writer, just because it's for fun or unpublished. Again, you're a writer. Whether it's a hobby or you're making money from it, whether you write fun fanfiction or original work, yeah, you're still a writer. It's an even playing field, and everyone should be considered equals and treated as such. Sorry. Thanks for hearing me out. Maybe one day I'll go more in depth about this. But if there's one thing about the #WritingCommunity here it's this: 98% of the writers on Masto are wonderful, lovely to chat with, as friendly as could be, and very talented. They're my friends. The other 2% are awful, conceited, snobbish, holier than thou, and need a reality check. Spread more love. Everyone deserves it, and so do you. You get what you give.

    Websites for authors/creatoprs / ttrpg game designers - do you feel as though you need one? Do put lots of effort into pages and blog posts? Do you link each individual shopfront to your book pages? Or do you get by with your social media/linktree? Do you maintain it yourself or outsource?#writingcommunity #ttrpg #gamedesign

    @Uair @Klepsis "A would-be author who doesn't read" is a massive red flag.
