Yay! Although now be careful, bc once beans have been invoked, jeans are sure to follow… (and then Taylor Swift’s jet, pondering orbs, and so on, long may the cycle continue:-).

Sus… where do the beans come in? (This seems like it would greatly increase the difficulty of the no poop challenge!?)

But there’s a “fairy society official website” and everything!? 🤪

And Santa Claus! 🎅

Also, come to think of it, “computers” as well… and “Linux” (excuse me, GNU/Linux), and so much more besides!

@[email protected] that’s wonderful! And as Rimu mentioned the PieFed software will be fixed in the next release to help facilitate future cross-platform communications, this has been a very encouraging post!:-)

(Did I successfully manage to do all three here?😜)

Or at least it could be - better about it just in case!

Never trust a pig farmer…

Naw there’s a new one now.

And then a ban.

When I created my latest account, the instance wouldn’t let me send DMs for the first two weeks.

So perhaps it’s a skill issue, git guud scrubs! (/s 🤪)

I’m sure they were joking. Definitely sure. Definitely they were probably joking. Surely. Maybe. Hopefully? R-r-right?!

That makes perfect sense, and I suppose posts such as this are rare, and people in this community are likely to still remember this situation if it happens again in the short interim.:-)

Here is a potentially very helpful thread: https://slrpnk.net/post/29381524/18801279

I mean you jest, hence upvoting, but I also find it funny that more people use PieFed now than are on lemmy.ml (edit: to explain, that is by far the most talked about instance across the entire Threadiverse). On PieFed.social alone there are >1k active users.

1 PieFed stats
2 Lemmy stats

So quick, that’s fantastic! 🤩

Thank you for the correction and additional information.

@[email protected] a bug report: Piefed is removing the title of the post, which profoundly affects its understandability.

Bananas 🍌 are sweet, monkeys are not (don’t ask how I know 🙊).

[Edit: PieFed did not show the title including the link to Reddit where additional information was provided.]

It reads like an instance by the name of MedMastodon went down with little to no notice.

Although this announcement seems to have been made on a Friendica instance that also isn’t cooperating (edit: hashtags) - certainly not to anyone without a login on that specific instance, which I imagine will affect roughly 100.00000% of all people reading this (and high ironically - in the Alanis Morissette sense - roughly also 100.00000% of the people that do not read this:-).

To anyone on Lemmy and wondering, there are additional hashtags that render on PieFed but not Lemmy, though it doesn’t help here since this is the only place that hashtag has ever been used (that PieFed here shows).

Oh, and the instance actually does return an error page saying “This instance is under maintenance.”, so it’s remotely possible that this Friendica message is based on misinformation, and that the instance being “down” may be only temporary? (I have no idea)

Some additional info I could scrounge:

Article about Med-Mastodon, basically saying to use both the X and then treat that Mastodon as a way to hedge your bets against Twitter enshittifying.

Hrm, it looks like their GoFundMe may have just run out, having started on Nov. 15, 2022 and lasting for 3 years? (I have no idea if there were any follow-up ones)

And at this point I’ve already put far more work into this than OP, it would seem, trying to guess what they meant, so I’ll stop here.🙄 (edit: this was due to a PieFed rendering bug)
