"A new kind of killer?"

Vampires are pretty much the oldest type of horror movie! Vampire movies have been around since the dawn of cinema!

@Taweret Anyway, Seed People is clearly the winner in terms of posters.

@apLundell @Taweret #DontBlameMeIVotedForSeedPeople

Come on people it's gardening season! Let's have some SEED PEOPLE (Whatever that means)

@apLundell @Taweret still I AM curious how a movie called THE VAMPIRE will have a "new type of killer"

uh... maybe like... it does a DBZ fusion dance with a werewolf? Idk

@Taweret I definitely wanna know what shiny outfits folks from the 60's imagined for the year 2889.

@Taweret A few dubious options, but what do I know? I voted for “Reptilian.”

“Project UFO” looks swingin’, so I think that’s my new rooting interest.

@Taweret

4 hours left in the #Monsterdon poll & we have a **3**-way draw atm! (In The Year 2889, Invasion: UFO, Class of 1999). Come on, people. Vote!

@klu9 @Taweret I had to load the original to see the 3-way draw. From my server’s perspective, 2889 was winning by a landslide. 😬

@ramsey @Taweret

One of these days, I'll understand all the vagaries of federation. But that day is a long way in the future 😁

@klu9 @Taweret To reduce load on the overall system, each server stores a local copy of messages for accounts its users are subscribed to (i.e., it caches them). My server’s cache was stale.

This affects things like polls, since I don’t think every vote on a poll triggers an update, but if you directly edit a post, I believe that triggers an update that gets propagated to all the subscribed servers (i.e., servers where there are followers).

@ramsey @Taweret

Thanks, I'm now one step closer to that day 😁

BTW are you also @ramsey ? For some reason, during Monsterdon the majority of those posts arrive in big clumps (10-30 at a time?) **for me**. An Ohai.Social-Don.Monster caching issue? Something else?

Looking back now, those posts seem spread out normally. 🤔 I guess when it's after the fact, those messages are displayed according to "sent time", not "arrived to my instance time".

@klu9 @Taweret @ramsey Yep. That’s me. I’m not sure why the posts arrive that way.

@Taweret

Will no one step up and break this abominable tie?

Cowards.
