@Elizafox AH, YOU THINK CAPS ARE YOUR ALLY. YOU MEARLY ADOPTED THE CAPS. I WAS BORN IN IT, MOLDED BY IT. I DIDNT SEE LOWER CASE LETTERS UNTILL I WAS ALREADY A MAN, BY THEN IT WAS NOTHING TO ME BUT SQUIGGLY.
@benhamill That wont cover all of it. I am still working through the related reading. https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Specs-and-RFCs-used.md

If I am right, and I am likely not, salmon handles the actual updating of the other servers.

@benhamill The best advice I can give is to comb trough related issues on github, or just read the protocol specification. https://ostatus.github.io/spec/OStatus%201.0%20Draft%202.html

Someone on irc might be able to help... irc.freenode.net#mastodon
Can someone point me to a good technical 101 for Mastodon? Or OStatus? Trying to understand: When I make a post, how does another instance find out about it to show to my followers there or the federated timeline?

@Elizafox And 75% of all conversation on the fediverse is suddenly illegal.

Come on, thats what social media is for! A fair amount of bird-site is still just for complaining about bird-site
@dboyfajardo Aren't you actually 46.15% Diego and 53.85% Fajardo?
@paulsheprow @sargoth Thats the thing... I was just thinking flying the city for a bit...
—
Space is different. Maybe, if we broke up your city into smaller parts, we could fly them up one at at time and reconnect them...
—
Thats 173185 people...
Average mass of 70.8 kg...
SpaceX costs $2,719/kg...
—
It would only cost about 190,330$ per person. Thats possible... People dont nee houses in space.
@brunodias I think you are good now.
—
You are being followed by approximately .08% of all registered mastodon users.
—
Congratulations 🎉
@sargoth Your local city would have to be very aerodynamic... and very dense, I think...
—
Difficult, but possible.
@jason The wrong man. The third man. Twelve angry men.

Old film titles did love starting with the litter T and ending with "man", didn't they.
@thor You are right!
—
#mastodont do it!
@acw HOW DO WE HAVE SELF DRIVING CARS BUT NOT << An account migration system for mastodon.
@Elizafox I support this.
—
I had a few good conversations with one of the admins about this very situation (blocking an entire instance because of a subset of members), but in the end, I think this is for the best.
—
The instance ban a good incentive for admins to implement effective abuse policies. Like embargo. But less like capitalism (I know you love to hate on capitalism).
Setting up a mastodon development environment.
—
It has been SO LONG since I used ruby. This should be... interesting...
@Elizafox As a very strange texan and an ex-San Franciscan, I approve of this idea.
—
All the world is a democracy. Vote with your location. Mastodon too.
@LensaMoon I agree.
—
However, I think that this problem is systematic of the current implementation of the federation. I.E. instances are discrete entry points.
—
To have multiple accounts connected, one needs a client that is also not tied to a specific instance.
—
There are a few desktop clients being developed. Intend to suggest supporting multiple accounts.
