Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don’t question.

Lemmy: @i_am_not_a_robot
Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
Is the pilot a cat?

Until he stopped and asked if he had come too soon,
I shook my head and turned away” - Tina Dico

Everything.
Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.
A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.
I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.
Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.
Oooh…
It’s made by the creators of Instagram
Ah, maybe not then.
I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn’t happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.
There’s some I haven’t used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that’s the best of both worlds. I don’t think the private messaging function works on it yet though.
Debian Woody PPC. I also downloaded Yellow Dog but don’t remember ever installing or using it.
This was a great little game, I got it off a magazine covertape (I thought SU but spectrumcomputing suggests it was probably Crash). I didn’t necessarily think it was innovative then, but the race mode was fun and I remember changing the UI colours. In fact, I don’t remember there being a non-race mode, so obviously didn’t go into that bit of the game much!
I use a Competition Pro USB. I also have an 8bitdo if more buttons are required. Keyboard is always a favourite though!
I think the point was that we don’t need to use the sketchy service.
To prove you’re not a robot, click on all the pictures of robots.
“Bot account” identifies the account as being controlled by robots.
“Show bot accounts” says that you want to see those accounts run by robots.
Companies can host Mastodon (or Lemmy or whatever) on their own domain. That way they have control over the instance and it implicitly verifies their account as official. Raspberry Pi already do this (raspberrypi.social).
My Instagram account won’t let me follow anybody for some reason (cites protection of users or somesuch). I never use it anyway. I’ve requested a data download and will delete it imminently, as it is completely useless to me.
May as well avoid them accidentally creating me a Threads account I don’t want.
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.
