hannah onlineI’ve been here for years and I’m an instance admin and I still don’t really know how the posts go from one website to another. I think it’s the same technology they use to send pokemon to a different game boy
[MOVED to chitter.xyz] Okesska@prehensile they grow legs and walk
Jenn / CaptainHanyuu@Okesska @prehensile my favorite kind of visual metaphor!
Dr Suzanne Culshaw@CaptainHanyuu @Okesska @prehensile anyone who mentions “visual metaphors” is worth a follow imo / ime 😊
earfolds@prehensile It's all over Wi-Fi now. Back in the OSocial days you had to use a link cable.
Michael Stanclift@earfolds @prehensile and you had to use a terminator when you got to the last instance.
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@earfolds @prehensile A Link cable? Is that the Zelda protocol?
Corsair of Mastodon@prehensile got to catch all the toots!!
@whiskeysailor trade you a 30 boost selfie for some rare shitposts
The Raccoon Pope 
@prehensile same and sane
#CoffeeGang 
Rudi (ryjelsum)@prehensile i think they put the posts on the little creatures as held items. like in the games with mail. i think i saw that somewhere
@rudi fave if you think this sounds true
Princess Pixel Light@prehensile That means if I hit the power halfway through I get duplicate posts right?
@pixellight it’s even easier than that, you just have to press the boost button
TMWhite16@prehensile that's vital technology.
Comrade Rose X@prehensile be careful apparently shitposts are now weaponized as completely "true lore" to haters on Mastodon lol
codl@prehensile this does mean that for a post to appear on another instance, it must disappear from your instance. mastodon's innovation is sending the posts back and forth so fast that you don't notice they're gone
Clairement crevée 
@codl @prehensile if you defederate at the exact right time you can cause a post duplication glitch
Jessie Ann (she/they)@prehensile I assumed it’s Ted Stevens and his Series of Tubes Technology.
Sam Weston@prehensile @doot Yes it’s GBLC/IP (Game Boy Link Cable over IP).
Sad Song Enthusiast@prehensile I just found this whatever it is named and I call this non-Elon Twitter.
silhouette@prehensile yeah i had to plug in a GameBoy link cable into the server so federation worked
pelle@prehensile Oh you young and naive people! Obviously the instances are connected via Laplink, exchanging information at the speed of light (or at least faster than a null-modem cable)
Yeah, you know me@prehensile I think they use the power of the Q Continuum.
cat@prehensile how to quote tweets ?? can we do that here??
@cat you can’t. It’s an intentional design decision - quote tweets encourage dunking and talking about people instead of to them
Jim@prehensile A German dwarf called Eugen reads them all, writes them on the back of an envelope then runs to an internet cafe in Leipzig and posts them everywhere.
Creature Of The Hill 
@prehensile Lol long as it works. :)
Lee@prehensile Magic. Got it. lol
Brooks Tawil Comedy@prehensile I heard I f you post while holding a metal coat you turn into a Steelix
Lamp Enjoyer@prehensile What day are all us new Twitter users having to take the Mastodon final exam?
TerryJLynch 
@prehensile are we talking link cable or IR sensor?
__hetz@prehensile
Glad somebody finally automated the timing of switching the other Gameboy off so they clone properly. Way less headache than trying to do it with a link cable across the aisle of a moving school bus.
