it is gone

@Lady Another Good Fediverse Thing most new people haven't encountered yet is when instance admins decide to just Do Magic.

Shoutout to Mods Are Asleep Post Cow Tools.

(... hopefully as many people as possible get the opportunity to first encounter this from Good Wizards (gender neutral) and not from Bad Wizards.)

@Lady (... my Oz-loving instincts made me want to write "Good Witch"/"Bad Witch", but this sort of magic is definitely Wizard Magic, not Witch Magic or Rune Magic or any other type of magic.)

@gaditb one time i refused to let #cats trend on this instance and so @aescling went in and forked the code to make #cats always trend (in a merge request i reviewed but shhh) and that is entirely the kind of energy we go for here

@gaditb at some point you look up and you realize “if i moved to a different social media site i would have to deal with #cats no longer trending” and you realize you actually have a pretty good place here

@Lady ... that is Witch Magic, I think,

(I'm pretty sure.)
