PB: but that's like a 100 meters away!
MC: a rescue mission can't get to you for at least an hour. Can you send Doggo?

This hive is full of bees and honey.
...I signed up to Mastodon for many reasons, but one of 'em was the chillness. So seeing the main dev get mobbed on account of a feature they're working on is making me uncomfortable.
Just make an issue on Github and discuss the pros and cons there. That's where code discussion typically goes, anyway. And go grab a glass of water and some fresh air. This ain't Twitter—mobs aren't even close to necessary regardless of what you try to justify them with.
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.
Important tractor safety tip. Watch *where* you are mowing as closely as you're watching *what* you're mowing. 😭😠

Brrrr! We've slipped back to late-winter/early-spring weather. What the hell happened to summer? We got all of 48 hours of that over the weekend, and that got my hopes up.
