I didn't quite feel prepared to go to california, but will definitely be attending the Seattle service.
@Aradia@mastodon.social @Ratttz yesssss thank you
@neonNeptunian well, gosh!!
@mawr "utility drop"maybe? I feel like I should know but I don't.
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.
The more you know! 💫
@Azure I gotta get my ass to work now though. See you later :)
@Azure yeah, Communication Workers of America was (and still kinda is) a really big deal.
@Azure Oh, Union culture is also a really big part of it.
@Azure I think the belief that your company will be around in 50 years and you should design with that in mind is a big part of it. I also think people realized really early on that phones were fundamental necessary infrastructure, in a way people are only just this decade starting to understand about the internet, and then only kinda spottily.
@Azure But I attribute that more to differences in engineering culture over time more than anything.
@Azure Reliability and tech-wise they were exceptionally good, though.
@Azure Short version is that Bell billed the shit out of everything.

I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.
