*looks at twitter* oh good, i got followed by a tech exec and three more brands
*looks at mastodon* i got followed by 8 witches, 3 queer furries and 7 cybrepunks
@edvorg that's probably follows from just your instance. the full count is visible if you look at someone's profile on their instance, like https://octodon.social/@tcql
@tcql The French-ish spelling for cybrepunks was intentional, I take it? ;)
@Rejistania I'm taking it from cybre.space <- another instance that I've got an alt on, but I'm betting @chr chose to spell it that way because of the π«π·ness
@tcql Awesome, I still don't know my way around here. I used a .eu instance because I am very pro-Europe, it offered registration and the URL was nice and short. All these new TLDs are so... newfangled (and now get off my lawn :rofl: ).
@Rejistania lol yes. we've got all the weird ones, see: https://mastodon.social/users/stephencoyle/updates/1750476
@tcql don't forget the follow bots
@tcql If social media sites were books, Twitter would be a dystopia (choose whichever one you think fits) and Mastodon would be Pratchett's Discworld. I've always wanted to live in Discworld!
@tcql they are the same people you know
@tcql and 17 followbots!
@tcql and now..... a slime
@tcql *looks at both* i haven't been followed by anyone in 8 years
@tcql and a few random infosec guys whose skillset I'm jealous as hell of
@tcql Professional goal. (Seriously, that's the target market for my visual novel: http://anthrotari.com.)
@jaycie if you haven't already, check out the awoo.space, witches.town, cybre.space mastodon instances, that's where I get my follows for each of those groups π
@tcql Thanks for the recommendations!
@tcql What do you prefer?
@mushmouth definitely the witches, queer furries and cybrepunks
@tcql That pretty much sums it up. . .
zombie toot is back!
back from the dead
this toot is 4 months old
but suddenly y'all retootin'
why this happen.
@baa how the flip did you find this status, it's like 4 months old?
you revived it and it is gaining life energy from the fediverse, assulting my notifs from beyond the grave
@tcql Applogies. I looked at a friend's Mastodon profile and since they hadn't tooted in a few months this was the first thing I saw.
@baa hah no apologies, it was just weird that it reappeared after so long π I was just curious how it happened
A good reminder for anyone who may forget that /this/ is your *Permanent Record*.
@tcql Why do you say this as if witches, queer furries and cybrepunks were distinct categories?
*is at least 2 out of 3.*
@kellerfuchs because it's a joke
also it was like 4 months ago π
@tcql Γh, right. No idea how that ended up in my timeline now :V
@kellerfuchs somebody boosted it recently so it's been going around again ^_^
@tcql hmm, but you got 3 followers total π€ *went to review the math books*
