@tom @pokemon Oh yeah, that makes sense. The image on the right is a 32x32 HTML5 canvas. When I click on the left image to zoom in, it actually tries to load the right image as https://computerfairi.es/media_proxy/112407118008012955/original , but for me, that returns an error "The page you are looking for isn't here."

Since the switch to Atomic Purple, the GIFs no longer load on my instance that's running Glitchsoc v3.4.1. The GIFs look like they're hidden. I can see them OK on other instances.

Hi there! Hopefully this Mastodon toot makes it to my new Bluesky profile. You can find me on Mbin, Lemmy, Mastodon @hitstun , Discord, Twitch, and other places.
@jerry Whoa, cool! I'll use it as an excuse to test link a toot with an old video that was originally on Twitter.

Thank you. I try to cite my sources where I can. When we got the Mystery Egg, we fought our rival, entered the lab, and triggered a cutscene where we gave our rival a name. But then we just walked out without actually talking to the Prof. Elm, and most of us didn't realize the error until we tried to progress to Violet City and the path was still blocked. I can't blame them. I'm pretty sure that happened to me in one of my playthroughs back when the game was new.

The Story So Far
We started February 10 with Cyndaquil. He's now L9, get Ember at L12, and evolves at L14. We got the Mystery Egg but forgot to show Prof. Elm. Weeks later, the path was still blocked and we had to go back. Prof. Elm gave us Poké Balls and we caught a L2 Sentret. We're going to Violet City now.

Ah, thank you. Most of the Fediverse supports Markdown, a safer way to format text than HTML. If you write text like this...
[Speedrun route](https://www.speedrun.com/pkmngoldsilver/guides/xmk9w)
...it displays like this...
When I learned to run my old subreddit and now my Mbin community, Markdown was essential for nice-looking pages. Most Mastodon users don't know it works here.

gets Bidoof flashbacks, but shakes it off
Because this level 2 Sentret isn't even a good HM Mule, and we get a better one in Krabby before we actually get the HMs to teach one. I knew two days ago this was a waste of time. But then someone threw a Poké Ball and now we have an international incident. We should've been through Cherrygrove City by now.
@Mikie1600 @phi1997 @katan @VieilOgre @tom @fediplayspokemon As our popularity grows, we will become more resistant to brigading. I'm happy more fans are finding us and joining the voting, even if we're naming a crappy Pokémon "Fart". I think we'll make good progress through the game together, one input per hour. I believe the voting majority will usually want to make progress through the game... when we're not wasting a whole month backtracking because we forgot to talk to Professor Elm, anyway
@phi1997 @Mikie1600 @katan @VieilOgre @tom @fediplayspokemon
I appreciate the teamwork, but you shouldn't take this game too seriously. We're basically playing Twitch Plays Pokémon in Democracy mode. The only rule is chaos. Nothing is sacred. If a group of jerks ever brigade us, release all of our battle ready party members, save, and make the game unwinnable, and so be it. If you want a perfect battle team, go play Pokémon Showdown instead.
@Cahatstrophe @Mikie1600 @phi1997 @fediplayspokemon According to this reply, the Portugese-speaking players want to name the Sentret "Peido" or "Fart". I'm OK with this, so I'm helping them now. Please don't be mean to other players unless we know they're acting maliciously.
@fediplayspokemon @tom @VieilOgre @Mikie1600
Oh, you only wanted to spell "fart"? I apologize. We were afraid you were going to give the Sentret a very bad name. I don't like this Sentret anyway. If you want to name it "Peido", I'll help. Have fun!
@brenno @mihira @galahyde Oh, você só queria escrever "peido"? Peço desculpas. Estávamos com medo de que você desse uma péssima reputação ao Sentret. De qualquer forma, não gosto deste Sentret. Se quiser chamar de "Peido", eu ajudo. Divirta-se!
@Mikie1600 @phi1997 @fediplayspokemon
I was OK with naming the Sentret "F" and pressing Start, or just letting "FLOOF" happen. Now I'm just voting B to backspace out all this stuff.
@Mikie1600
@skaverat @pokemon @fediplayspokemon
Maybe we're being a little mean to this L2 Sentret, but it's useless to us. If it was smart, it would have run away from the battle. Catching this was a waste of a Poké Ball.
