malfunctioning.technology is humming along nicely! Fixed a few more issues in ServiceWorker, including mistaken caching of 40x/50x error pages and Firefox breaking on redirected caches (not Firefox's fault; they are following the spec and Chrome will match them in v59). Still more work to do: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/3052
Thanks to those testing; if you want to get in on ServiceWorker/AppCache testing, check out https://malfunctioning.technology/

interesting that you cant delete account on mastodon yet.
I wanted to leave another instance I dont use much anymore but couldnt find a delete button so I just made my profile and header completely white, unfollowed everyone, blocked anyone following me, locked my account, and deleted my posts. This was quicker than it sounds cause I didnt have much on that account
+1. Mainstream social networks can never match this. Due to open-source nature, users submit feedback and suggestions to the core team. There has been 1400 such feedback submitted, out of which 800+ had been implemented. This is excluding other informal feedback channels.
This rapid rate of iteration implementing user feedback will simply lead to a platform which just creates massive value for its users, even though users number is small by comparison to mainstream social networks 🐘
