@trinsec he's left with two accounts at the moment so that will need to be resolved somehow, but at least we can connect now, thanks.
@trinsec I could see him but he couldn't see me. He's now created another account on qoto and we can connect. Apparently his first server has an enthusiastic block list!
@Vollans @vollans@aus.social awks!
Over on Twitter, one of our interns accidentally tweeted this image which purports to be an advert from the 1930s, thinking it was real.
It rapidly spread to Facebook and Instagram, becoming the most popular tripe-based image in history.
Fortunately, that kind of thing wouldn't happen on Mastodon as folk here are a bit smarter, and they'd recognise the font used as one that wasn't introduced until the 1960s.
@hilarybaumann @vollans it's true that we can't connect (yet) and it's true that somebody put qoto on their bad boy list (though no-one seems to know why!) but we have yet to prove that the two things are connected. And to be fair, even if they are you could find your own server unjustly labelled in the same way I guess!
I think the qoto.org being added to someone's naughty list thing is biting me in the friends' list. My mate Steph @vollans can't see me despite the connection and waving and wotnot. What to do, what to do? 🤔
I am envious of the Germans, buying and reading this lovely series of books by the brilliant Rudolf Simek. Volume four, Märchensagas, is now out. Sigh. (Please UK or US publishers, do a translated edition?)

@bykimbo Aww, gwan gwan gwan. It only has to say "#Introduction #Cornwall #BuggerOff" and you're done.
@bluehazy best place in the world, eh?
In Europe, October 2022 was by far the warmest ever recorded, beating the previous record by over 0.5⁰C!

Lovely people, you know what to do!

Do you support the government's Rwanda plan?

@garius I don't see sulk, I see "paint me like one of your French cats"
Probably not going to talk about this on Twitter (good lord that site is toxic) but it really does suck that the world’s richest man had a whim and now suddenly people who rely on it for income just… can’t anymore.
Books don’t actually pay that well, but I was able to cut down to 4 days at my day job, 1 day to write books (something I’m proud of!) but looking at followers drop off, I think that’s now just gone.
This was a fun first toot huh
Sweary and opinionated. It's best not to take it personally. Also hilarious but that might be less obvious.
