Seeking advice ...

A friend has been using Discord for personal communication with someone, but has now shifted to using Signal. They would like to export all of their Discord conversations, and is asking for advice.

A quick web search produced this result:

Comments on that advice would be welcome, as would different, concrete advice, especially if a non-tech person could use it.

TIA

ExportingFromDiscord

🔥 Hey. Do any other systems on here have experience/advice how to facilitate the transfer of the host role from one headmate to another?

I don't have verbal confirmation from her yet, but I also don't feel any pushback against the feeling/idea that Aimée (🪡) needs a brake from hosting and that I would take over that role.
I just have a way easier time handling some of the everyday stuff, which she really struggles with.
Like I just got up and stretched and afterwards went to the bathroom to brush our teeth. Aimée usually needs body doubling from our girlfriend for that. This isn't meant to shame her, but it's just a fact that this is much easier for me. And having these self care routines be actual routines is something I know, she also wants.
So I think a host change would actually be beneficial for the entire system and it feels like Aimée agrees.

So yeah, how could we make that happen, that I take over as host?

While I do take wide plugs easily, I have real trouble with depth. 12 cm are my limit. After that I hit a pain point that I can not get past.

From how it feels and given the 12 cm, I guess I hit my "second sphincter".

If possible, I want to get past that point. Has anyone experience with that? My idea would be to get a thin, very long and soft dildo and start from there.

Web people of Mastodon! I am looking for a developer I can pay to help design a webtool that I can use to run a (large) March madness-style bracket with visitors voting on the winners of the matchups.

I have some design thoughts but no idea where to find the right kind of web developer to help me bring these to life.

Recommendations (and boosts) very welcome! #AskingForAdvice

We(*) are finding it tricky to find an appropriate instance of #PeerTube for me to start posting short maths-based videos.

In parallel with us looking and checking out tags, etc., does anyone here have any thoughts to share?

TIA.

(*) @virtuosew and I

Is there somewhere a sensible analysis of various packages/systems for writing papers/articles/etc.

Forty years ago I wrote my PhD in the original #TeX and have never really got into #LaTeX ... now I hear that there are things like #Typst and perhaps others.

What options are there, and how do they compare?

Autists: if you experience grief for things like activities, clubs, social gatherings, etc., how do you process it?

Im looking to buy a new #domain exclusively for my #mailserver. Anyone got suggestions for the domain extension? I was already looking at the .email extension.

I'm frustrated that it seems like the place to go for #protest actions is #Instagram. I'm not sure for how much longer that will be the case, given the #MetaPlatform's capitulation to #fascists, but it seems like most groups that are organizing right now have nothing on their websites and everything on the mainstream #SocialMedia platforms. Does anyone have any advice for how to find out about protests and local organizing on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse? I have no desire to go back on any corporate-owned social media platform, and I suspect that protest info won't be permitted there for much longer, but I also want to stay in the loop.
