Im rewatching harry potter and the half prince... I realized that Severus originally was a death eater, then became a double agent for albus during the first wizarding war, then when Voldemort returned he convinced them he was a triple agent and was actually always working for Voldemort... but in fact he was a quadruple agent and was, in fact working for the order of the phoenix all along.
I love harry potter and all but man JK Rowling was not the best at realism :)
@freemo I think it was meant to be taken as he really did side with the death eaters, but gave it up at great risk for love.
@obi Well yes, originally in the first wizarding world whenn he first joined the death eaters it was sincere... but then (for love) he became a double agent... then he became a triple agent... and thenn we learn he was really a quadruple agent all along :)
@freemo I guess I see it as he is a death eater, even when being a double and quadruple agent, and his love for Lilly was so strong that he betrayed his kind. Interesting to think about his motivations though, if there was more.
@obi I think we are basically saying the same thing.
@freemo Ahhhhh. Never even thought of that causing an issue. My first thoughts went to wave of new users, or heavy uploading of media.
@obi The backlog just resolved itself nnow.. it doesnt last long when it happens.
@freemo Still really bad for me. In this vid, I'm constantly typing, then holding the backspace. Maybe it's just me, but my other instances are working fine https://obi11.mooo.com/s/ML4j3ksy8zkPeFo
@freemo Thanks, will do. I was trying to add my 3 fav instances, this being my fav, to the Sengi App but it didn't work. Get 504 app for qoto, but not the others. Figured you didn't allow api access, but that idea was squashed when i just added qoto to Tusky. Oh well, who knows, probably a Sengi issue. @robryk
So QOTO is a custom fork of mastodon, we speak the same protocol called ActivityPub and we are very similar to mastodon (being a fork of it). Point is we use the ActivityPub standard in a more "complete" way, as in, we use more features of it than vanilla mastodon. For example we have a different max post size.
Anyway, if a client is written to work with the API correctly, then they work with us just fine. But instead if they assume we are the same as vanilla mastodon (and just assumes some things) then it will break on us and not others.
So long story short, if the app is written correctly for ActivityPub then it works with us just the same as plain mastodon.
@obi there seems to be some backlogging going on. Let me keep an eye on it and see if it resolves. It usually does and happens when a long standing account deletes itself, which may be the case here.
