The banes of my existence is text encoding (other than UTF-8) and malformed or misquoted CSV files.

The appearance of these at the same time is actually a manifestation of Satan.

@haploc @NinahMarie I see a wave of panic among tech-biz commentors who just can't figure out WHO Mastodon is and how "they" plan to make money, it's hilarious.

WHAT'S THE BUSINESS MODEL OF IRC? CAN IT SCALE? THAT'S SUCH A BAD BRAND! THE FOUNDER IS NOT EVEN CEO?

I love it.

I just developed Mastodon Stats, a site that shows the statistics of all instances mastodon gathered in real time. Have a look at mastodonstat.herokuapp.com

@CobaltVelvet Have you set up a Patreon or equivalent for Octodon?

@keithpp @rateldajer @CobaltVelvet You're defining Mastodon as "a network" when really:
Mastodon = email
instance = email host
octodon.social = gmail.com
@user@instance = email@address.com

The mistake you're making is thinking Mastodon = gmail.com.
