In Menzenberg, dwarves used to cook flour soup of the farmhands and maids early in the morning, which was their signal to get up.

One farmhand was so upset by this that he scattered peas in the hopes that the dwarves would break their necks.

Out of revenge, the dwarves cooked him.

@zeitiger@mastodon.pnpde.social That seems to be a German language-focused instance, while I mostly post in English.

Uhm... so this moderator call is kind of concerning.

I'm not about to jump ship here immediately. For one thing, all the people working on Mastodon.social right now are doubtlessly overwhelmed by the additional traffic, which increases mistakes. For another, I wouldn't know yet which instances have better moderation.

But I will be keeping an eye on this.
