there has been an abnormally high take count in the federated timeline the past few days
« ‘Hey, Jessi, why do you draw the moon as full in nearly every instance regardless of the time that’s passed in the story?’
Thank you for noticing, it’s because circles are a great design element and I love the moon and she deserves it. »

adults are people who have to do things themselves because society has deemed them no longer deserving of structural support
glitchcat isn't technically a Cat Returns fan instance
but only technically
@aescling i'm like 85% sure that the glitched version of the mastodon logo we used was a weld product but i don't think it survived the logo change
@aescling here's the PR; impossible to say who "ghost" is so i might be misremembering https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/issues/294
i know your spouses did some glitch things for us but i don't know if they did the elephant
@aescling i think the story behind that is your spouses glitched out three images for us and i didn't want to pick one so i just included them all
author: wait i forgot i wanted to write that clichéd conversation !!
the man went DAYS before realizing he didn't use a condom
@aescling *upstream mastodon, which is financed significantly by sponsors and instance operators who do not contribute code
@aescling as opposed to mastodon where most of the money comes from sources other than the instances supplying the development labour
@aescling it would mean glitchcat would offer the development labour it can spare and [some other instance] would offer the development labour it can spare and there would be no central financing of development; glitchcat pays glitchcat devs (your patreon) and other instance pays theirs.
so there is no financial incentive to the project itself; it isn't bringing in money or trying to market itself to new instances; its only obligations are to the instances providing its labour
@witchfynder_finder yeah i almost was like “this author is clearly a girl and not a lesbian if they don't know how obvious this is”
but yes, link does seem to be an enjoyer of the zelda behind, which i mean…
…yeah i can’t fault that interpretation at all
link is once again shocked by things he should have noticed and probably assumed by now (zelda not wearing a bra)
you don't keep a bow in your closet STRUNG
what i would like to see of mastodon dev is:
- instances finance themselves and make a determination based on their finances what labour they can offer. no central financing or donation mechanism for development.
- that means all developers are there on behalf of one or more instances, who form the stakeholders of the project.
- broad agreement across stakeholders on the purpose and immediate direction of the software (i.e., a single platform). ideally, multiple different forks with different platforms, but cohesion within any given project.
- initially, a very slow pace of development. very few new features. immediate focus on increasing maintainability of the software, improving documentation, and making onboarding easier. this is a hard sell; it's hard to get stakeholders (instances) to continue to finance development which does not give them anything new. in fact this work may introduce delays in acquiring upstream features. i’m not sure how to resolve this except with tangential personal incentives like: gaining a better understanding of rails, learning better development practices, personal satisfaction at making a complex software more easily understood…
- project longevity.
- good and active communication with users (of stakeholder instances).
@aescling i mean if they don't consider it a priority,
