specifically if you know of anybody who has written about race- and/or gender-based violence on fedi, dropping those links right here in my menchies would be 💯

hi my name is Metroid Samus and i am oh so gay for you Legenda Zelda smootch smootch thanks for reading 100% original content no steal
in case you were wondering where i have been:
1) gentle.town is down atm as our admin is taking a vacation from the interwebs
2) i have been persisting in the quiet and weird space of @kibimon in the interim
more weird behaviour: my logged‑in theme applies for “with replies” but not for my main profile page
the main profile page actually has the Mastodon logo, which it *shouldnʼt* since weʼre running friend.camp
is this like, some kind of weird cacheing / precompiled assets bug?
specific observed behaviour:
Unlisted/Public posts will not federate; Followers-Only/Direct posts will
If a Followers-Only post mentions a public post, then it WILL federate as part of the context
Unlisted/Public mentions fail to deliver and give a “remote data could not be fetched” 503 error
For big dynamic sites: Your code will have bugs; you need to think about minimizing impact on your guests.
For static sites: The only way your code can have a bug in the XHTML syntax is if you forgot to check.
The failure state of the XHTML syntax is an error page. The failure state of the HTML syntax is your browser silently making its best guess.
Some people say that this works in HTML's favour, because some content is better than no content is better than an error page. I can understand this argument for people building large, dynamic sites.
But for small, static sites, if there's a bug in my code or code generator, I wanna KNOW.
this is my favourite commit https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/11631/commits/da7d36a71c003a8f36e804e2e273d62697c3db4c
