mastodon needs a way to delete DMs sent to you

i wonder what kind of humongous software blunder allowed someone i have blocked to DM me

i also wonder how that person could've possibly thought i'm suddenly ok with them

so apparently while i was away mainline mastodon implemented post editing because uhh i guess delete and redraft wasn't enough and just as a psa those edits do not propagate to instances running older/incompatible software if they already fetched the original post

(this is kayfabe as i am no longer in charge of a sidekiq queue sorry)

perhaps bonghits will fix my sidekiq queue

Lua the programming language is not an initialism stop capitalizing it like one

i say this having been on mastodon since the april 2017 wave, having founded and maintained a public instance for 4 years. mastodon is flawed and the biggest people running it are often even more flawed

i want to be able to post emoji spam and non-described pictures sometimes and not get called out of it because someone digitally across the fediverse globe from me had a panic attack for seeing my posts when that person maybe just didn't have to be shown my post at all in the first place

more close-knit groups, segregated from each other, all with their own little schisms. no need to fight over who's got the remote

mastodon would be better if it wasn't federated, imo. we already have themed instances, now if only they didn't all have to coexist in the same network fighting over which rules are the best rules, maybe we wouldn't resent each other so much
