NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) started in 1999 to get writers to spend their November writing a 50,000-word novel. The idea is that quality doesn’t matter – you get into the rhythm …
@dgerard Not sure where else to post this, but I’ll post it here since this may be related to this thread. Either your account is directly banned on Hachyderm now, or circumstances.run has been defederated. Not sure how all that works, but here’s a screenshot of what your account looks like from a Hachyderm POV.
In case this doesn’t translate to Lemmy, it says your account is suspended.
if you can’t see my stuff on hachyderm worth a complaint to your admins? or find a host less interested in protecting you from malign influences whether you like it or not
@dgerard I think that all depends on whether or not my curiosity is strong enough to overcome my sense that sending a message to a Mastodon admin team about why the writer who inadvertently got Elon Musk and Grimes to hook up is banned on my server would be too-online a thing to do, even for me. So, yeah, I’ll probably end up doing that around 2:00 a.m. this morning.
thanks for the notice! I’ll make sure David sees this and do some poking around as well. by any chance, were you able to see if any other circumstances.run accounts show the same error?
@self I don’t think I follow anyone else on circumustances.run. If you have one handy, would you post another account name from that instance and I’ll take a look?
whee, i missed that one completely. it seems that some over-eager hachyderm mod suspended @[email protected] 's account. nothing that can be done on our side. (unfortunately i don’t have a backchannel to the hachyderm mods).
Keep in mind that it redirects to circumstances.run if you visit the account page, I don’t know why it still does that when the account is suspended, it was supposed to show you a page saying it redirects. Maybe it’s a bug on mastodon. If I search for davidgerard on hachyderm it says he’s suspended.
are we about to find out the hachyderm board/steering group/whatever are involved in the nanowrimo ai shit? I recall a bit about some previous dumb shit about a bunch of the people in the foundation, think it was coiner noise with a dash of ai hyping iirc?
@self Just did a quick test, and at least for me when I am logged in it shows the account as suspended, but when I look at that same link in a private tab it immediately redirects to the circumstances.run instance and shows the account info there.

eh, their loss, my account is where it’s at for quality tech ranting. hachyderm is a bit like programming.dev but for mastodon.
@dgerard As long the ranting continues unabated on awful.systems, I suppose it’s nothing to get annoyed about.

their loss lol
@[email protected] is the instance admin (also on this instance as @[email protected]) so they’re probably the best account to check
@self Okay, mawhrin’s account is viewable from Hachyderm (https://hachyderm.io/@[email protected]). So looks like it’s specific to Gerard.
@self Gerard’s page, for comparison: https://hachyderm.io/@[email protected]
Not sure if these pages render different if you’re not logged in.
huh, for me (not logged in) David’s account is viewable via that link — that’s really bizarre. I’ll do a little more digging when I can!
