TY!

The Obsidian+Plugin used as a tool, appears to let you post text in configurable chunks, breaking on paragraphs, to form a thread under user control (with error checking) that can be Public for the initial post and Quiet for remainder of the thread, with configurable thread headers. Something like this ought make Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) 's life a lot easier! It might encourage him to write more essays, though.##



About Obsidian and the plugin:<li>Obsidian is free and supports Markdown.</li><li>The plugin is free, GPL2 licensed.</li><li>The plugin doesn't use the publishing feature Obsidian uses to uncharge to an $8 per month subscription.</li><li>You can use the combination as a tool. The to-be-threaded text needs only be pasted into Obsidian.</li><li>The plugin requires both NPM and Node.js to be installed. This isn't hard, but it isn't trivial for people not used to the command line or terminal mode.</li><li> NPM lets Node.js programmers to use code posted on the internet, which could present security issues.</li><li> You need to use the NPM Audit command periodically for find reported NPM module issues. The command offers to fix found issues. Of course, until issues are reported, you cannot fix them.</li><li>The Obsidian + Plugin works on Mac, Linux, and Windows. iOS doesn't support NPM. I don't know about Android.</li><li>The plugin doesn't support alt text, but instead allows placing quoted text after images or videos. Your alt text complainer will complain. </li><li> It assigns a special meaning to the &gt; symbol, meaning you can't use quoted text in your thread. (I do this a lot.)</li>Despite flaws, it is way more than Mastodon supports natively. It's on my todo list to see if it actually works.##
