dark mastodon dark mastodon show me the actual readable specs for how federation works. please,

is "someone followed by someone else on the instance replied to a post" seriously something that federates over a post
like it's cool but it's also pretty opaque

@antitree that's the correct spelling

okay so
i haven't read homestuck
but i know it has like time shenanigans
so uh consider
a homestuck rp instance where the timestamps are actually intentionally breakable

@quincunx ah okay, was thinking there was some desync

@quincunx did you just now see this?

i like how i can just say "ping" and multiple people will immediately pong
i'm pretty sure any other social network you'd just get like, ignored or maybe 1 response

you're cool people 👌

ping!

ok bye ill talk about instances and how people naturally fall into the instance they like best from mastodon.tld domains later

@tom ah i was picturing a sort of Lost situation where you just crash land into an island and there's just someone like "Hey im from mastodon let me show you the cool stuff"

@tom island

@codl im not good at this
