The GlitchCat #SundayPost offers news and updates from our corner of the fediverse to yours.

§ Current Events :—

• Twitter has started banning journalists as well as anybody who ever links to another website, so lots of people are now saying “maybe this place isn’t great” and uh, leaving lmao. Some of them are coming here. Be nice; enforce boundaries.

• Some publication reporting on this misheard some details (I can only imagine they were communicating over the phone) and interpreted “the Join Mastodon account, run by the person who made Mastodon” as “John Mastodon’s account, the maker of Mastodon” (this post has a screenshot), so anyway that’s a meme. I expect it to be up there with Lance Ulanoff/William Shatner RPF in popularity for the forseeable future.

§ Instance News :—

• We’ve done some re·organizing of our emojice; the blobcat emojos now all start with blobcat_ instead of no underscore; satsuma is now catsuma and filed under “Cats”; the most recent dragn emojim have been added. All the old shortcodes still work; they’re just not listed in the emoji picker or suggestions anymore.

§ From Our Users :—

• @Lady has been working on some improvements to her shrine-xslt static site generator in the hopes of maybe one day using it to build an e·zine. More about this in the coming weeks, maybe.

§ Holidays and Observances :—

• 🌌 21 December is Longest Night, a·k·a the Winter Solstice. Get cosy, tell ghost stories, and drink warm beverages!
