@squirrelbutt @blackle i was thinking pinkish text on black background and also oops oops sorry!

@shivian@mastodon.xyz i feel like im missing some context here

just followed 200 people and now the federated timeline has a ton of people in it, even people i didn't follow myself
and that folks is how you *actually federate an instance*
not a follow bot
just follow a good subset of people and let it branch out

@squirrelbutt basically lance had registered on mastodon.cloud, while william had registered on mastodon.club, meaning they couldn't find each other unless they gave each other their @'s and searched them
basically it just sorta became a joke with stuff like "not even william shatner could find me" and it was :ok_hand:

@squirrelbutt basically there was an article about how mastodon was bad that was published on mastodon by a guy named Lance Ulanoff
now
while the article was just kinda generically bad, the funniest part was the opening lines computerfairi.es/media/7u9EuL-

@squirrelbutt do you not know about the William Shatner Can't Find Lance Ulanoff story

@squirrelbutt i was following william shatner but now his account's gone

aw, the follow import just failed because it tried to follow william shatner and it couldn't find him

we're currently not out of sync it seems, so that's good

@squirrelbutt @squirrel other instances can still view the thread iirc its just that they wont see it in their timeline

40 imported so far
it seems mastodon just like
slowly imports follows one by one instead of just being like "YEAH OK [drops entire batch into db, smashing it into pieces]" which is nice
