Definitely slick. But I'm not understanding how to join an instance per this help:

Thought I was at a capsule front page, but saw no "activate a client certificate" option/path.


(That's what I get for generally being in favor of barriers to entry, right? ;-) )


I still like the process of writing a post, uploading it and a new index.gmi, and pointing Antenna to that. Way more than activating a client certificate, for example. :-)

My investigations suggest faith is the mechanism of *seeming* reality, i.e. believing something to be real literally makes it real to/for said believing observer.

Bad dad joke, but I really admire your get up and grow.... ;-)

Huh, wow... never heard of it before.


And yet I'm quickly reminded I'm not sure what we usually consider "real life" is any less fictional - thoughts repeated in a faith context until they're Obviously Real (hehehe), i.e. their "reality bit"s are set.
