icosahedron.website is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
Icosahedron.website is a mastodon instance and part of the ActivityPub network / the Fediverse.

Administered by:

Server stats:

138
active users

real-time (well, at the time) feed of the requests to tcrf.net and datacrystal.tcrf.net; numbers are the hundreds digit of the response code

fun to watch

i set tcrf's logo to be styled like various pride flags for the month (thanks hawk for making the images)

as always, this immediately draws out the bigots. oh well. into the trash you go

to anyone who has tried to follow me on here and gotten a "follow request" instead: i'm sorry, it's the instance administration's fault. i sure wish it would give a reason for why these are here outside of "your instance admin doesn't like this instance"

the question of why mastodon "failed" came up and this sort of thing is *exactly* why, lol

discord is down? i assume we all have our backup IRC servers memorized for when netsplits happen, right?

(my irc server is still operating, at least.)

X<p>comfortably, yes</p>
X<p>lol i fucking love mastodon. i hit the ⬅️ in the third column</p><p>because mastodon is a piece of garbage dogshit web app, that button is actually implemented as the javascript &quot;make browser go back&quot; button</p><p>which ended up closing mastodon and returning to a new, blank page</p><p>incredible software. this bug has been here for years and it&#39;s still alive and well</p>
X<p>thanks i guess? &quot;learn more&quot; directed me to a &quot;severed relationships&quot; page, where i had to... download a csv!?!?</p><p>this seems like such an obnoxious way to handle what is already an intrusive, annoying event</p>

X<p>~ game localization ~</p><p>in Faria (NES), there are items you can get that raise your in-battle move speed. they&#39;re called the &quot;HYPERSPEED1&quot;, &quot;HYPERSPEED2&quot;, and &quot;HYPERSPEED3&quot;.</p><p>in the Japanese version, these are instead...<br />&quot;じょんそん&quot;, &quot;じょんそん983&quot;, and &quot;じょんそん979&quot;. In Katakana, that&#39;s &quot;ジョンソン&quot; -- &quot;JOHNSON&quot;.</p><p>these are references to Ben Johnson, a sprinter. he set two world records in the 100m sprint: 9.83s and 9.79s (but he was doping, so they were invalidated)</p><p>if you wanna go fast, grab your johnson(s).</p>
X<p>website league and alyaza birze in particular. just a wonderful group of people</p><p>don&#39;t join website league.<br />stay far away.</p>
X<p>here&#39;s a rehost of the thread from someone who sent it to me:</p><p><a href="https://mini.xkeeper.net/etc/website-league-is-a-bunch-of-shitheads.png" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mini.xkeeper.net/etc/website-l</span><span class="invisible">eague-is-a-bunch-of-shitheads.png</span></a></p><p>just the most fucking fabulous people running this platform</p>
X<p>shoutouts to the person who helped me find it but there is a WEBSITE LEAGUE THREAD about YOURS TRULY!!</p><p>it&#39;s not public, though! gotta keep this private!</p><p>are they going to make a thread any time someone criticizes their platform? fucking lmao</p><p>DO NOT USE WEBSITE LEAGUE. JESUS CHRIST</p>
X<p>website league is fedi 2.0 with all the same problems. it&#39;s &quot;what if we got a bunch of instance admins together to agree on rules instead of a billion random ones&quot;, but with the added thing of every instance still has to allow every other one in the group, and blocking one isn&#39;t allowed</p><p>&quot;instance A bans (thing), but instance B allows it&quot; -&gt; how do you handle this? you don&#39;t! you are required to allow both and that&#39;s just the way it is</p><p>there is one way this ends, and it isn&#39;t nice.</p>
X<p>here&#39;s my take on website league, posted publicly for everyone on fedi to enjoy, because appraently putting it on atproto is harmful because of The Firehose.</p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/xkeeper.net/post/3lch76lg6d22d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/xkeeper.net/p</span><span class="invisible">ost/3lch76lg6d22d</span></a></p><p>i&#39;m not crossposting it because it&#39;s all public anyway. enjoy</p>
