The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it’s a pretty important server and if you didn’t like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

I just woke up and this confused me

The Indian guy one is brilliant.

leaving Mastodon out to try

While it’s clear what’s meant from the context, I’ve never heard this idiom. Do you mean “hanging Mastodon out to dry”?

Drop in the bucket sounds weird to me too, but a quick check shows that it’s the US version of drop in the ocean.

This is some weird throwback. Back when Lemmy was using web sockets (before Reddit blocked third-party apps) there was a bug where a page would update with different content, but replies would go to the original post (iirc), but it was fixed ages ago.

I love that track, thanks for sharing this analysis.

So is this a human doing a great Attenborough impression, AI doing it, or the man himself*?

*its

Their app and website are both atrocious. I’ve got a rant somewhere on Lemmy about once time it made me scream with impotent rage over the UX experience, and I’m someone comfortable with editing the DOM/scripting to fix the worst of it.

I’d assumed they believe in reincarnation (or the boring typo explanation), but I like your reason better.

You’ve had a good definition, but Wikipedia has (a lot) more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?

It took me way too long to remember about tails.

The quote’s a famous monologue from Hamlet.

About that speech

Rats definitely can (also for TB), and you can sponsor them to do so: https://apopo.org/

Magawa was a famous example: https://time.com/6138994/magawa-dies-landmines-cambodia/

Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it’s gone now)

I’ve raged at the incompetent UX design so many times, like recently when I was trying to add videos to the currently playlist in a certain order, since you can’t reorder yourself. The mini player blocked the controls I needed for the last item on the page, but closing the player wiped out the playlist. Cue scream of rage and a few choice words at volume.

I can’t find a suitable word in English, but I’m shocked and dismayed that German doesn’t have anything we could steal.

There’s a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.

It’s just riding off the coat tails of the OG 1+1=2
