How far can a toot travel in the fediverse?

I chatted recently with someone who complained that the fediverse lacked "reach".

So I'm curious: if you are up for it, could you please reply to this toot (which started life on single user instance on a tiny computer in a garage in the United Kingdom) saying which country you are in?

Edit: 12 hours, 74 countries: https://neilzone.co.uk/2025/04/a-toot-travelled-to-fediverse-users-in-53-countries-in-12-hours/

On BART today, two college women alongside me, one of them in a snazzy green skirt covered with printed topaz tigers. I couldn't help but butt in - "your skirt is almost the skirt a young Adrienne Rich wrote a poem about over 60 years ago!"
It was pretty cool.

@gwynnion Mazel tov?
Bend body & wet head down, downwardly wring out hair, drape towel over neck & back of head, gather front towel drape & surround wet head of hair, tucking behind ears, twist the gatherings up - surrounding & twisting hair in process, unbend body & voila!
(That's how I do, but ymmv).

@vij Have you taken one yet?
They're *everywhere*.
I've not - but curious.
I'd never choose camera technology over LIDAR.
It's quite impressive & I hope Waymo prevents elmo from gaining a foothold in CA.

Ye'shua is my savior, but so is Green Tara, and Medicine Buddha, and Mari mother of Ye'shua and many of you, too. 🙏

I immediately flew into an incandescent rage when I opened this fundraising letter from Ted (retch) Cruz on behalf of Susan B Anthony anti-abortion outfit - addressed to Dem Californians. I calmed down & am not wasting a stamp to send it.
