  • mod stats in r/Mastodon

    Seeing some interesting traffic patterns in the Mastodon subreddit as of late. some screenshots.

  • toilet etiquette

    This goes to the people who stand when pissing, naturally: please lift the seat if you’re taking a leak, folks. Urinals are a valid option too.
