Does every Mastodon instance have the weird scrolling, or is it just this one?

Co-founder/CTO twice. In my heart I'll always be a webdev. Almost died twice (brain aneurysm and adrenal adenoma). She/her.
Every year I make history book recommendations for a recipient I do not know who could not be more different from me politically or identity-wise. It's a really good exercise in bubble-popping (or at least bubble-expanding) by trying to use the sympathetic imagination instead of the critical faculties.
Everyone thinks Hundo is a Labrador or Anatolian Shepherd mix, but if he has any genes directing him to fetch or herd anything I have not seen them yet.
The Twitter feature I miss the most on Mastodon is translation from every language :(
I feel that USMNT should lose to Iran this year, so that the Iranian team and fans can bring more attention to the repression there.
I know I said I was already done with holiday shopping, but I had to work off some World Cup anxiety by buying a jersey!
El Tri may not be the best team, but they DEFINITELY have the best jerseys. Just bought one for my sweetie EmergencyMexico!

The analogy that several Black users have said, is "Mastodon is the digital equivalent of fleeing 'regular' racism in the deep South, just to experience 'racism doesn't happen here!' racism in Boston." 🙂🙃
Mastodon has more cultural norms around not talking about racist abuse, than around preventing it from happening. I don't know how to convince y'all that this is bad.
So yeah, this creates an opening for centralizers.
I've already finished all my holiday gifting, including mailing the packages, and I honestly don't know if I'll be able to hold back my unholy levels of smugness for the next month!

You can go a long time as a JavaScript developer without ever feeling the need for generators. Hence, it’s natural to wonder: What are they good for? Why would you ever want one? What’s the point?
Once you get into them, though, generators are pretty neat. They can do some fascinating things. Things that wouldn’t otherwise be possible with JavaScript. So it’s worth finding out more about them.

Why would anyone need JavaScript generator functions?
You can go a long time as a JavaScript developer without ever feeling the need for generators. Hence, it’s natural to wonder: What are they good for? Why would you ever need one? What’s the point? But generators can do some neat tricks. And they may even change the way you approach certain problems.
