Huh. Lots of new people here from something called #forkiverse.

Welcome forkpeople?

Edit: Hmm. I'll error on the side of "startup troubles" but I've already blocked two #theforkiverse people for being inconsiderate arseholes ("no man it was just a meme"). Is this maybe why a bunch of people write they just blocked the instance?

The middle one is def a trident. Forks have 4 tines, tridents have 3. Forks are for eating, tridents are for ruling the seas.

@OrdRadical
Tridents are a subset of forks. Forks do not only have 4 tines; consider pitch fork, tuning fork, fork in a road, and forked tongue.

Nice! And Iโ€™m seeing the term โ€œforkizensโ€ as being used a lotโ€ฆ

Looks like one of the hosts of the NYT Podcast "Hard Fork", Kevin Roose @kevin, along with the podcast Search Engine, spun up a mastodon instance and opened up sign-ups to their listeners.

one of the founders / admins has already openly posted AI slop (knowing it was AI slop)

Might be some cool folks there but I've already blocked the instance ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Iโ€™m all in favor of giving folks a bit of time to settle in.

Iโ€™ll follow generously, and start pruning as necessary in a week or so.

Thanks for including alt text, but um, they are two, three, and four TINED ones, not forked ones.
I mean, if you are trying to start the #forkiverse you should get the basics right.
What's that you say? You meant fork as in forking? Like a fork in the road? In that case they would be one, two, and three forked ones.
On what authority do I speak? I, Sir or Madam, have made the pilgrimage to Creede Colorado and touched THE fork!

ha ha, all the excitement turned to annoyance for me after 24 hours
