#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.
And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."

If you just have one account on one instance, you may not realize that Mastodon federation -- the means by which toots are sent from instance to instance -- is not instantaneous.
It may be seconds or minutes for a toot to traverse even directly connected instances. This depends on server load and how many messages are in the queue.
Toot lag. It's a thing.

This account links to an action plan to get Jack Posobiec banned for doxxing one of Roy Moore's victims.
Folks, this is just two clicks. One to open the link and one to click send. Let's get an enabler and bully kicked out of there

Plot twist: non-chronological "best posts first" features are actively detrimental to creators, focusing on memetic content that pleases analytics-watching shareholders.
