    i kinda wish ... ...that we could make a list in Mastodon, of accounts to display in a time line, that was NOT also included in default &quot;home&quot; feed ...that we could set such a list to correspond to a collection ...the reverse: that we could define a collection based on a list right now lists aren&#39;t helpful, if you follow someone they are right there in the timeline so why do they need to be in a list? but I&#39;d like to have lists of more accounts to look at, just ... not h...

    #TTRPG question I have a city which is in layers. a couple actually. surface streets, which are on top of a cliff, catacombs, a 2-3 underground levels for people who belong in/prefer the underground. these lower levels can be reached either by ingress/egress from the surface streets, or directly through the cliff. are there any mapmaking software tools that can handle that? most I&amp;#39;ve seen assume one layer, and granted, that is the norm. I... don&amp;#39;t know what other hashtags...

    it&amp;#39;s ridiculous, all the arguing over what-ifs with the US 2024 election when world war 3 is starting now oh you think I exaggerate? who is Iran&amp;#39;s neighbour? Pakistan? a nuclear power who... is at &amp;quot;open war&amp;quot; with Afghanistan right now like it or not Kamala Harris is not the president of the US and spending your energy arguing over how she would act in this situation is a diversion and waste of energy. stop it #uspol
