Crickets. No surprise the next day they dumped 40k accounts complete with social insurance numbers on the net... Dicks. Mv 70k$.
@scroom This is Not a complaint. This is just a question as I try to understand how mastodon federates.
How is it that I see snowdusk writing me in near real time, but if I click on snowdusk I don't see anything recent -- even the thing he just wrote me? I don't understand.
