This is the new new me -- dredmorbius at toot.cat.

So, yeah, given #mastodonCloud's long-time flakiness and impending transfer to a pretty-much unknown entity, I'm going to be moving to toot.cat, as long promised and/or threatened.

We'll see how well the automigration stuff works.

I'll be interested to see if blocks propagate .... Both ways ;-)

Why do I think web browsers would be simpler if they seperated forms from hypertext?

Because then for hypertext I can define HTML *almost* entirely by a CSS stylesheet, and not worry about more events than clicks & *maybe* copy/drag.

And I can handle webforms however's best for the device/OS! Without worrying about it conflicting the visual design of the page.

Without JS or inline forms, I don't have to implement the massively over-engineered OOP "Document Object Model"!
