By the way, moderation on Mastodon is not a magic blackbox. Mastodon can list federation blocks on the instance's `/about/more` page (often linked to as server rules).

Be aware that it's not required to provide a reason to block things, but that's your admins choice.

If you hit "more posts" a few times, it goes back to December of last year. I can't see any information about this blog, but they are updating pretty frequently. And the posts are cool late 70s homecomputing lore!
Oh no! My Pioneer Laseractive died today. Short buzz / bang inside, smoke et all, no more picture, still not sure which of the low voltage boards is affected. I hope I can fix it. If you know anyone that could help to bring it back to life, please DM me. Would even travel with it to get it fixed. #followerpower
