favorite software bug? (either self-raised or observed in the wild)]]
This has been corrected long ago so I can talk publicly about it:
I once made a post that quoted itself.
Someone very angry said "due to a wafrn bugmy misskey instance is down". GIRL. A POST EXISTS IN MY INSTANCE. YOUR INSTANCE IS BOMBARDING MINE WITH PETITIONS. YOUR INSTANCE IS DOWN BECAUSE A POST EXISTS ON MY INSTANCE. THAT IS NOT A WAFRN BUG. Please delete this post we need to do a responsible disclosure on this one.
base misskey time to fix this bug: MONTHS
sharkey time to fix: "OH SHIT" "done"
@jcm@wafrn.jcm.re
another one that was not as noisy but "wait what"
someone registered on wafrn with USERNAME. They got followed by someone on the mastodon team. time pases, they deleted their account.
year passes, someone registers with USERNAME again.
"hey why am i following USERNAME on your instance?"
Turns out mastodon sent us a follow request to USERNAME. Was a bug on their side and fixed it. everyone involved wassurprised
