Satisfying.
The intro to one of the greatest kids shows of the 90s. It's the song "Hey Sandy" by the band Polaris.

I grew up in an Apple household. This was way before it was cool. We had an LCIII (one of the 'pizza' box 68k Macs). I could only dream of having a 486 or Pentium machine like some of my friends had.
That said there were a couple old 68k Mac games I remember enjoying. Movod II comes to mind... I also remember some of my first experiences on the internet on those 68k Macs. Connecting to AOL with a USRobotics 28.8kbps modem... takes me back.
Wes Anderson has a new movie coming out soon. It looks pretty good (unless you don't like Wes Anderson movies).
You might also enjoy Brandon Rhodes' website which has some pretty skillful writeups on Python Patterns as well.
One read on this may be that lemmy.world may not be the best instance upon which to host !austin (i.e. if, for whatever reason, they're not able to maintain federation with other instances).
Another thought is if you really want control over your "home" instance's federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots. I've been considering doing this but mostly out of curiosity. Admittedly you would probably want to be fairly technical for this to be a viable solution.
It also looks like the Lemmy devs have been considering the possibility of implementing profile migration between instances, which could be interesting.
All of that said, I'd be curious to know the specific reasoning given by your last instance on why they decided to defederate. I don't want to sound accusatory or jump to conclusions but this kind of post strikes me as... FUD.
