Nope, but I will to that.

That 's a good idea. With any luck that will encourage more creative people to submit their own stuff.
Thx.

I don't.
I take it for what I consider it to be: a variable mix between a social contract (people agreeing on what is right and wrong (edit: healthy/not healthy), like with every single other thing going on in any society, whether I agree or not with them is not the point) and some common sense (what it means to be healthy (what sanity is referring to as far as I know) without arguing about abstract notions, like one would try to explain it to a young child maybe?)
So, really for me it's an ad-hoc definition that has changed many times already, and will change again but it's also something obvious that I would describe as being able to live among other people not in a perpetual state of anxiety... which may also incidentally imply I would not qualify as the best example of a sane person, who knows?
That's a nice idea, subscribed!
Done. I will keep the old Mod account as Mod for a few days, just in case, but it will be 'downgraded' to a preferred normal user status asap ;)
Thx again for the suggestion.
Thx for your reply.
I super don’t make the rules around here but the mod seems to have gone MIA and I seem to be the most frequent poster.
I had a similar feeling on !journaling@sh.itjust.works (the community had been hibernating for around a year), I ended up contacting the team managing the instance where it is hosted and they agreed to give me the key so I could try do revitalize the community. BTW, you're all welcome to have a look and join if you're into journaling or if you ever considered keeping a journal, be it a paper or a digital one ;)
Sidebar seems to have absolutely nothing against it. It never specifies the PKMS must be digital. I say go for it. It is still in the spirit of the community.
That was my impression too, but I'd rather not create useless mess so I asked. I will take you answer as a green light and will try to post a little something. We will see how people react, if they do.
Thx a lot! That's an excellent idea. Maybe I will do exactly that as, quite frankly, I'm not at all happy to see that capital 'M' next to my name whenever I post something. I would prefer to be a 'simple' user like any other community member.
Probably a silly question, but I'm far from being an expert at moderating: may I ask how you manage multiple accounts? You need to log in and log out every time you want to step in your mod uniform?
I'll check that, thx. And thx for the offer! A tuto could certainly interest people, but I wonder if we should publish it here? I mean, it's very technical and not really about journaling even if it can be used for it... Would you happen to have a blog, or maybe know another Lemmy community more dedicated to tech stuff like that? If so we could post a link to there (and I for sure would gladly read it) ;)
Thx a lot for sharing those tips and resources!
From the 1st video (great advice from beginning to end). 'Without you realizing it suddenly you will be writing with a tense grip again, and that's when you just have to catch yourself... Now just relax your hand and start again'. This, 100%.
A big +1 for making breaks, it will help a lot. As can help adding that extra grip/thickness to a pen, even more so with thinner Bic/pencils. It's a tool, it's OK to customize and adapt it to our ow needs and usage.
EF nib being my favourite. I don’t think there are any shops selling nibs only here in Bordeaux (my french is not very good) but maybe I’ll buy a pack on ebay/amazon to upgrade my F and fatter ones
The thing with Lamy (and German nibs in general) is that they are fatter compared to similar Japanese ones... For people new to fountain pens, by large the majority of nibs will either be German-made or Japanese-made, no matter the brand of the pen and not considering customized nibs, and as a rule of thumb it's admitted that for the exact same denomination, the Japanese ones will be thinner). So a Fine or an Extra Fine will more or less always be thinner on a Japanese nib. Does it matter? It depends how big and how small you write. The smaller your handwriting, the thinner you will want the nib to be.
All of that to say: I have a small handwriting and I find the Lamy Fine OK but already a tad too fat to my taste (and it's just that: personal preferences), whereas I can use Japanese Fine without any issue. So, it helps to be able to try a fountain pen nib before committing to it, also don't be afraid to try out various nibs from various origins to find the one that will suit you best ;)
Do you only/mostly write when journaling? I try to “journal” but I’m basically only drawing.
Yep, I mostly write. I'm trying to sketch a lot more but I'm so used to writing. It's words, everywhere, and sketches here and there. I try to have at least a sketch per page. Alas, I'm not there yet. I hope this will help me to sketch more (and with more confidence): I've just subscribed to a sketching classes.
If you want to be really secure you can encrypt it. By hand it would be difficult,
And weak too, I'm afraid. As a kid I used to change names and avoid using certain words I knew would trigger my mother's attention. It helped develop my imagination, but it did not work well ;)
On digital you may have an encrypted drive with a fake password.
How would you do that? I mean I know you can (we all should, I encrypt all mines even USB sticks) encrypt our drives but how would you do the fake/real password thing? That's sounds clever.
Come here to say that.
I now have accepted as a fact that we're smarter together, my Zettel and I. But I was really skeptical at first and it a true slap in the face when I was forced to realize how helpful this sucker was.
A couple months into it I was sold to the idea, and the more I have been using it since then the more I have been convinced I should have started using it decades ago, and that we should have been taught what that was all about back then, at the university. So much wasted time and opportunities, and interesting... surprises ;)
