Mastodawn

No, really, I'm mostly posting as [email protected] -- I'm here because the federated timeline over there ain't keeping, you know, up. Because pushes.

@rho You stand in the middle and grab the handles, yes. The motion is a lot like a deadlift, though not quite identical. The weight isn't in front of you, more centered, so maybe it doesn't hit the lats quite as hard?

@enkiv2 @tfj Keep in mind the federated timeline does not contain every toot on every remote peer. It only contains toots for remote users that have at least one follower on the local server. So it's at least "somewhat" curated in an indirect way.

For kicks I booted an instance of mastodon for running bots. It's at https://botsin.space/

I made a bot too. I wanted to make something that broke past Twitter's character limit, so I made a bot version of Strachey's LOVELETTERS https://botsin.space/@loveletter

@reconbot @ummjackson @ceejbot I think I ran into a case where speed vs. perceived speed becomes apparent. When I reply to a toot on another instance, an optimization makes my reply show up immediately; but if I reload, it's not there, and doesn't show up again until it comes back via federation. Which seems to take quite a few minutes.

Trap bar deadlifts, 170# plus whatever the bar weighs, call it 40-ish.

@semanticist There's no way to migrate the data, but you can import your follow lists.
