    Yes. If no one on, say, mastodon.social is following you then none of your posts will show up in the global timeline there or in searches or in hashtags. Also if you have few followers your posts will receive few boosts so hardly anyone will follow you. So we end up with a handful of wildly popular accounts dominating the conversations which mostly happen on the big instances. Centralised power. Bad. The threadiverse solves this. People don't follow other people, they join communities and it's their membership that determines where the federation traffic goes. So nearly every instance has all the conversation and everyone is on an equal footing.

    I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?@SDF

    @ScienceDesk I use both hands, but I wouldn't call it ambidextrous. I'm kind of similarly clumsy with both hands. I write left-handed, and do most other things (play guitar, throw) right-handed. Precision things tend to get the left hand, strength things the right. And, I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at using either one. My handwriting is terrible and I can't draw for shit.

    A ladybird beetle spreading its wings captured with a high-speed camera. In real-time wing deployment from the fully folded state takes less than 0.1 seconds.Video credit: University of Tokyo / Saito et al. 'Investigation of hindwing folding in ladybird beetles.'
