@khird Makes a lot of sense, thanks. I believe I will use it as a basic "like" functionality just as a token of appreciation to a toot, especially since there is an implemented bookmarking feature.

I have noticed that toots are being boosted a lot more than being favourited on Mastodon. I've seen toots with 19 boosts but 0 favourites. Why is that? This contradicts the majority of other social media platforms where people usually like or react but rarely share or repost.

@olamundo Yup, I don't live in the US (or other countries that use MDY) so I use DD/MM/YYYY too. But since there aren't 14 months, only 1 Pi Day exist and that's in the MM/DD/YYYY format. So as far as it applies to a format, I believe the Pi Day still applies worldwide and it is worth celebrating. Thanks for the welcome!

@olamundo I did not know about the existence of that and I am happy to see that it exists, thanks!

The board voted unanimously to post the following statement on the FSF website: While our primary mission is freedom for software users, we want to be clear, the FSF board unanimously condemns misogyny, racism,and other bigotry as well as defamation, intimidation, and unfair attacks on free thought and speech.

one more time for the people in the back.

until end users have un-gated full control over their software, commit access = domination over end users.

3rd party dependencies = giving strangers domination over end users.

Feeling good about the 256 days streak of learning German on Duolingo!

@freemo I think I got it, I meant that by server you could also mean the other instance that is being interacted with. Thanks for the info.

@freemo Which server side? And what would happen after the server-side cache is cleared?

Question, what would happen to a boost if the instance that the boosted toot is in goes down?

Boom! There goes my very first toot. Oh wait, the max character count isn't 280, but rather 2^16? I would love to take advantage of that in my first toot. I guess I can celebrate Pi Day, even though I am 1 day late (2 days even, for a few countries), so happy late Pi Day! I am also considering to open Diaspora*, Friendica and PixelFed accounts, but who knows? Look at that! Until the incoming comma character, (<-- that one behind the parenthesis!) I have already used 411 characters. Neat!
