@tobi if only some proper devs migrated from Twitter and helped us out to make it scale

tip for fedi admins: the Cloud is very expensive. stay away from services that pay by use, because they can balloon *very* quickly and suddenly you have a large bill to pay

@ser@ap.ser1.net @gotosocial right, that's fixed in the PR that closed the issue

@ser@ap.ser1.net @gotosocial can you define "strange"? is it the same webkit bug shown in the linked issue screenshots, or something else?

surf just shows a floating white window for me, nothing else. great browsing experience

PSA: Always block the base domain! 

#FediTip for instance admins: On #Mastodon you can #FediBlock the base domain to block its subdomains as well.

For instance, blocking dumpsterfire.social will work for the subdomains pl.dumpsterfire.social, ak.dumpsterfire.social and any other subdomain they might spin up in the future.

This works even if dumpsterfire.social itself is not a federated instance and doesn't show up as a choice in search. Simply click the "Add new domain block" button in the upper right of the federation menu, enter dumpsterfire.social and do your thing.

Alternately you can search first and then click on the add new block button to both verify the domain and auto-populate the domain name field.

Particularly for dumpster fires that only have instances on subdomains, this gives you peace of mind and saves you the labor of tracking down new subdomains. I have seen instances use wildcard asterisks * for blocks, which do NOT work at least on mainline Mastodon/Hometown and should be replaced by base domain blocks.

re: PSA: Always block the base domain! 

@admin also it's unlikely to do much, but go bug Gargamel about github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

it makes this exact issue much easier for instance admins, and has remained ignored for almost a year now, as is mastodon github tradition of course

think I got some pretty decent UX for timeline gap filling, just needs a bit more work

@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk this joke has leggs (long eggs)

@schrodingers_cat@rage.love what if the true crime was the prison-industrial complex we made on the way
