@puzzlestuecke yes, i mute and block people regularly. i can't imagine what problem you're having, other than possibly it being a problem with Tusky. i've only ever used the native web interface.

i founded computer fairies and had to step down but i know the people still running it and i know it's not abandoned

re: Mastodon-Probleme 

@puzzlestuecke "edit" is indeed from a newer version of mastodon than we currently run but i have no idea what trouble you're having with timed mutes, works fine here.

"not maintained" is a fairly bad faith interpretation of "hasn't been updated into Eugen's 'latest' and 'greatest'(sic)", and the instance is definitely no longer shutting down since i handed it off to @arielmt and i thought i made that clear

"firstly happy birthday - secondly, do you enjoy video games loosely or strictly about golf, and what's your favorite one of those"

thank you! took me a while to reply to this ask because i was thinking about it and then i forgot about it. i haven't played a lot of golf games but i mostly like online multiplayer ones because they're really fun to play with my girlfriends who are all in different countries. vertiginous golf and golf with friends are two recent [...]

mutual aid request, boosts appreciated 

I guess I need to do this. The math works out that for the next few years I'm simply not making enough money and I'm already dangerously close to burning out so hard I may not be able to keep my job. I'm holding on for now but I need help, plain and simple.
