If there is no timeline, do I still exist?

- title: New Mastodon post format!
body: >
Given that we have so much room to
play with, I'm going to experiment with
alternate post types. Here's my first post
in YAML! Looking forward to future posts
in XML, JSON, Markdown, Brainfuck, Lisp,
and Minecraft. O BRAVE NEW WORLD

Changed quite a bit since last night

new colors, removed the "drawer__header" since the third columns does more or less the same thing

an update on my plans for gay.crime.team

i'll be reverting to a single-user instance on friday. everyone's accounts will be active, but i'll be locking login on everyone, so your existing posts will still be here but you won't be able to write new ones.

please do the work to migrate to a new instance now. it'll make everything easier for everyone.

41,703 accounts
+9,643 in the last day
+18,737 in the last week

update: Admins can now easily close registrations with a custom message. In other news, I have closed registrations to mastodon.social for now ensure a quality of service for all existing ones, and to promote other federated nodes.

I haven't allowed myself to consider for work stuff, even private scripts and helpers. I just entertained the thought, and it was like cracking open a door, getting barraged with bright light and song, then quickly closing the door and looking around to see if anyone noticed.

Why did I blog instead of playing Breath of the Wild, though?

At 500 characters, Mastodon's limit is *just short* of the smallest clearsigned gpg message I can create.

Wow, Keybase has an app, and it does chat?
