Laurens HofGot convinced by my sister to snow wash these hand knit wool sweaters
no idea if this actually does anything, but its apparently an old tradition for wool clothing so its fun to give it a shot now that theres so much snow here

I feel that its worth pointing out in these conversations that nobody starts new servers anymore. Its hard (to measure kinda impossible now since fedidb removed the 'first seen' statistic, and server age does not show up in nodeinfo), but virtually no new servers have been started since 2024 that have gotten over 1k mau, I think it was like 4 total (this spring when the stat was still available)

Laurens Hofimo a core problem is that perceptually, an app is usually tied software (the mastodon app) instead of network (the fediverse app) or server (the indiewebsocial app)
