@maple *flips maple's colour depth switch back to 24-bit*

wow, they really picked the 4th of July for their relaunch didn't they

...does this make the fediverse the british?

@maple I see no problem with this

@dragonmagic oh my god

It's okay everyone, I washed the slope with detergent, it's not slippery any more

the best way to anaesthetise an octopus is to douse them in ethanol

which is what I call a good friday night

@maloki they do have something of a history of doing so

@a_breakin_glass true, but with all the capital invested in gab specifically it'd be quite nice to burn that fucker to the ground so they have to build another thing for them to congregate on from scratch

Tusky blocking gab is an act of speech and is therefore covered by the concept of "free speech"

YEAH

WHAT YA GONNA NOW DICKHEADS?

@halcy we don't really have a word for it though

so in the time honoured tradition of the english language... yoink!

@halcy I don't think so, over here in the UK it's mostly country level (england, scotland, wales, northern ireland) with a load of north/south england divide but sentiments of "we're so much better than them lot 5 miles away, they're really weird" are certainly a thing

frogge

@er1n oh, not yet, no, this is all preemptive

@er1n they've announced their intention to fork mastodon and be compatible with the fediverse as a whole

welp, time to dump fedilab

they're choosing not to do anything about gab

@maple *brings maple lots of tasty batteries to cromch on*

@maple knoppix for playing around with, serious actual use was ubuntu I think
