fun fact: wafrn bites are originally AP-only until I added AT support, that's because we used Iceshrimp's Bite spec, so in AP, you can see bites in Wafrn and Iceshrimp and compatible ones

Our city deserves new leadership.

I encourage you to rank Omar Fateh first and also rank DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton.

I joined the Slate for Change door knock launch and I’m beyond hopeful we’re going to build a city that works for all of us.

Any estimate as to how many of these accounts have made any posts? Looking at me never ending stream of new followers that are empty accounts I have a feeling this number is very far from meaningfull
We just crossed it. Yay! Congrats everyone and Happy Halloween!

The project that started my whitespace obsession... #EMNLP2025

While we've all been worrying about tokenizers, lurking in the background has been the preprocessing *before* tokenization. Poems break standard HTML-to-text linearization systems, and we find that multimodal models aren't a solution.
