#TheSerialPort YouTube channel is on a roll!

Last month they published a high-quality documentary about the origins of internet telephony (the og "IPhone"), featuring original interviews with the people directly involved.

Just 3 weeks later, they're following up with #curl, featuring @bagder .

It looks like this toot got hidden from timelines, probably because I initially wrote "is k-i-l-l-i*n*g it" instead of "is on a roll"? It disappeared from my own timeline after <1 minute and only got some attention after I changed it hours later. Really weird if true.

Very weird if true. I'm not aware of any such filtering on the 'unalived' word (as on some other platforms).
I saw the toot (and fav'd it), but I can't remember at what stage in the edits it was when I did.
@dec23k I don't really know and should probably stick to Hanlon's Razor. It's just that seeing it disappear from my own timeline (after a reload) set off some heuristics in my brain and I really wouldn't like my instances filter posts automatically like that.

I was going to say "could just be the federation not fully federating everything", but not on your own instance.
