I know we joke about how the hardest problems in computer science is cache invalidation and naming things, but it's bonkers how often I run into issues that literally stem from these problems. 😂

Two hours of work and I needed to bypass the service's HTTP cache to make stuff work. 🤷

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

The fediverse is just a bunch of LAN parties hooked up to each other.

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

Seven meetings in one day. 🙃 And at least four more this week. 😭

I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.

When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.

To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.

*Hugops to all admins!*

Neat writeup on content moderation that looks at it from the perspective of behaviors and how they affect the social dynamics of a platform.

@VirLutro It's cheaper than running your own instance too!

60 years ago it was possible for a single income household to afford a small starter home mounted on giant chicken legs that would roam through the forest

and today my real estate agent says I can only afford a wooden raft mounted on a blanket of worms

I wish Twitter's checkout feature also gave me the contents of all the tweets I liked and replied to so I can get a more full view of my history. 😢 I realize this would have implications on the privacy of the authors of those tweets tho.
