Still Dangerous
I’m not sure this fence is entirely stable.
Update: Here’s another section of the fence that I don’t think I’d want to lean on!

If you're sad about Lance Reddick, his widow asked for people to donate to MOMcares, a Baltimore-based charity that provides prenatal and postpartum care to under-supported Black women who've been through the NICU wringer. It helps unborn babies, it helps Black maternal mortality rates, it should appeal to pretty much everyone. Go! www.momcares.org
Are you a #Fediverse developer?
There's a new initiative by @gabek (the lead developer of the Fediverse livestreaming platform @owncast) called FediDocs. It aims to provide an easy-to-find set of documentation for how to federate with a Fedi platform, in order to promote better federation between platforms.
The FediDocs website is still very new and empty (https://fedidocs.org/about/) but if you are a Fedi developer please contact @gabek about contributing info on federating with your project.
What?
LEFT-PAD PROBLEM is evolving!

@experiments And it's messed up differently on Takahe...
It looks like Takahe can follow Pixelfed, but replies/mentions don't make it back.
@KelsonV I wonder if a public reply from Takahe to Pixelfed will show up as a comment or not.
@KelsonV Looks like Takahē is able to follow Pixelfed now!
How many symbols do you need to type on a keyboard to make a heart?
Less than three.
@experiments @KelsonV Hmm, Takahe does the same as Mastodon - convert the lists to line breaks, remove all other formatting except links...but it also adds the link to the plaintext URL.
@kelsonv @KelsonV@wandering.shop @kelsonv@gts.keysmash.xyz Takahe also displays line breaks after each item.
i think people conclude mastodon will never catch on because it is more difficult to post so bad it makes the news
@kelsonv Takahe also shows the plain list with line breaks.
@kelson@hyperborea.org Can you see the fnords? Are they equatorial?
@brion At least we had a pretty good library to choose from!
