@kelspace it's kind of confusing because federation isn't working exactly properly between this instance and mastodon.social
@typhlosion I mean it was already confusing because I 99% don't understand federation and don't expect to, so, this is mostly just me trying to also be here if mastodon.social collapses under the weight of... whatever is happening
@kelspace fair!
federation isn't that hard to understand. mastodon.social and awoo.space, as well as maly.io and the others you might be hearing about, are all different social networks that can interface with one another
@typhlosion I have a long history of being enthusiastic about tech only to be reminded I don't understand it so please don't feel bad that I don't get this, seriously
I might go back to watching and seeing if functions become apparent, maybe my problem is just that it isn't working (even though it looks a lot like when it was working, to me)
