I'm moving to @marcink; I'm really curious whether the migration of follows will work this time, during the last jump I lost hope after a couple of days but then again -- that was between large, busy instances.
@stux Sorry to bother you but if it's okay to ask: are mstdn.social and masto.ai peered to any relays that might be available to smaller instances? 
2 days into using a fresh mastodon instance: threads feel really broken. The push model with no fallback to fill in data after a thread becomes visible via a boost or a reply from someone I follow means I don't see conversations.
Improvable by relays but 1) this looks like a costly but partial fix (pre-cache a ton of data just in case some ends up being useful), 2) looking for a relay feels fishy, the lists I see have overrepresentation of domains I've seen in fediblock discussions. 
Rust is a conspiracy to turn imperative programmers into pure-functional programmers by making mutable variables such a pain in the ass that Haskell seems reasonable by comparison

So you'll excuse me if I do not shed a tear

And if I prioritize making sure that you don't stomp on the people who left Twitter years ago due to abuse that you didn't care about

Over making sure that academics are able to reproduce what they had on academic Twitter on Fedi

"Claim your account" "Post dot news", the Andreessen-funded probable cryptocurrency grift masquerading as a social network that I busted on yesterday (and that considers dunking on billionaires to be hate speech) is creating fake "placeholder" accounts...

No, it's not a good idea to make `<span>` look like a link and use JS to make it kinda work. Please stop.
I know a lot of writers feel like twitter was good for writing. And it was. But it was good for a particular kind of writer and writing. And I hope moving away from twitter changes the landscape of books. There are quiet folks who write brilliance. And don’t always have off the cuff hot takes.
Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, β€œDo you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question.
