GlitchCat is a good instance and its WebFinger doesn’t even spontaneously break anymore

hacking mastodon to display all counts using binary prefixes

how has @aescling posted more toots than me

oh i missed the benchmark but i have now posted a kibi toots

“federating” in only the loosest sense, as in we saw each other on the street one time

okay i’m gonna admit i thought there was going to be more to this chapter than there is
