📟🐱 GlitchCat Sunday Post (19 September 2021) 

§ Instance News

• We’ve set up a new fork for the instance, derived from GlitchSoc, at ‹ github.com/kibicat/mastodon ›. For now, the name of the fork (subject to change) is “Kibicat Mastodon”. We haven’t committed much code yet, but there has been a great deal of discussion about goals and direction via the GitHub Discussions pane.
Kibicat Mastodon is not presently looking for individual outside contributors, but we ⁜are⁜ interested in working with other communities / instances to meet mutual goals. Contact us (by which I mean me) if you’re interested in collaborating with us!

• A bunch of new cat‐ and pokémon‐themed emoji have been added to the instance! Use them to your heart’s content :Eevee_joyful:.

• The server was upgraded for the first time without any issue 🎉!

• It is not feasible for me to personally vet every instance that GlitchCat federates with, but I have begun doing so for the larger instances and applied mutes or blocks as appropriate. I’m hoping to push some changes to the fork soon which will make future bookkeeping simpler in this respect.

§ From Our Members

• I published another episode of my pokémon fanfiction, can you believe it?! You can read it from the beginning here: ‹ archiveofourown.org/series/237 ›.

[Accomplish something cool? Tell me about it and I’ll be happy to give it a feature!]

Show thread

i think cis people would be absolutely terrified to publish this dialogue but i don’t give a fuck

i think this next episode of my pokémon fanfic definitely falls in the category of “shit i can only get away with because i’m trans”

you’re allowed to be angry at people using the wrong word for a given situation but it’s a little silly to be angry for misspelling a word when the spelling they use is more accurate, consistent, and sensible

it’s not “leafs” it’s “leaves”

it ought to be “wreathes”

wait but why aren’t plurals of ‐th spelled with an E that’s bullshit

there’s like. the galarian slowking mind goop?? they can do better than that.

« Eat the bread during cooking to ward off hunger. »

if you got that far you might as well just guess on the rest of it

Show thread

« “Yeah! Uh, Glory-something!” » no offence but how many names start with those two syllables

they called it pokémon master journeys and so you think it’s about training to be a pokémon master but you would be wrong

it’s about training to be a leek master 🥬

goh really just stole one of team rocket’s pokémon

:Eevee_yelling: there are no bad pokémon, only bad trainers!!
