David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"

I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!

ETA: Apparently it was a parody account that said the stairs line. I still want it on a T-shirt.

@goatsarah
Can I get a source before boosting it please ?
@Zekovski Looks like the quote is actually probably from a Twitter satire account, alas.
@Zekovski Apparently it wasn't him that said it, but no need to boost; this has gone viral and is already taxing my poor server a bit!
@goatsarah
Don't you want to edit your message to make things clear ?
@Zekovski What I want doesn't magically create more server capacity!
@goatsarah
I'm sorry, I don't understand the link between editing the post and server capacity ?

@Zekovski this went viral. I’m on a micro instance run from a Mac mini in my living room. At one point, this post was making the server run about 12 hours behind.

Editing the post causes a whole new rush of activitypub to happen as it has to go and inform everyone who has interacted with it, just making the problem worse.

I eventually did edit it when the load dropped a bit, but that still took 7 hours to propagate through.

@goatsarah
Oh ! I didn't know this was your personal small instance.

Seems like a lot to me. I wonder how ActivityPub makes it so much work.

Anyway, have a nice day. Hope your mac will not set itself on 🔥.

@Zekovski Thanks. It's cleared the backlog now
