@spla @timecowboy this is fixed in the upcoming mastodon release

If you wanna hear my stupid voice, reminder I was on this podcast talking about Mastodon: https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/2018/04/12/mastodon-federated-social-network-with-eugen-rochko/

Hmmmmm https://blog.joinmastodon.org/

Not only does Twitter have harrassment issues on its own platform, now they're exporting these issues to other platforms too!

How did nobody on their board see this PR disaster coming. The incompetence keeps surprising me.

Another update on mastodon.social: You can now select your posting language from preferences, to override faulty auto-detection.

can anyone do asciiart of a mastodon? help

If you're running a Mastodon stats website (there are many of those!) could you do me a favour and instead of just dumping a number straight away, format it like a number?

162,229 is a lot easier to read than 162229. 162K would work too.

Applied! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-ultimate-for-open-source/merge_requests/83

GitHub why :angery:

hmmm

Look y'all here because I built Mastodon the way I wanted and you happened to like it. If you no longer like it that's your own business, don't give me shit about your failed expectations. There's the door, there's the code, there's the alternatives. The shit I've received today just because I was open to something that a part of the community wanted is completely inacceptable.

It's odd, to say the least, to see people claim I'm refusing to put emotional labour into community management when I just spent a night awake up to 6am answering & discussing user concerns about the trending hashtags feature.

It's odd, to say the least, to hear that the feature is a testament to how I ignore community feedback when the only reason I've implemented it is because it's been continuously requested by community members since November 2016.

That just seems manipulative.
