    @mike
    Yeah, I agree that the headline is hyperbolic.

    However, the cross-site-scripting vulnerability seems pretty significant. The idea that someone who manages to inject a bit of javascript into a website would be able to send span signed with my private key is pretty alarming. Not *too* alarming right now, because they'd have to inject JS into #facebook, #twitter, or #reddit, or #hackerNews.

    Even so, it seems like a big enough vulnerability that I wish they'd taken it more seriously.

    Ok, definitely geeking out here, but I just learned that one of my favorite bloggers (Scott Alexander of http://slatestarcodex.com/) just linked to my Mastodon Is Better than Twitter blog post (https://www.codesections.com/blog/mastodon-elevator-pitch/).

    I know that probably didn't bring as many people to the fediverse as when that post was on the #hackerNews front page, but it's personally *way* more exciting—it's very cool to get a link from someone I admire!

    Any other #rationalists come because of that post (or here at all)?

    @Wolf480pl @sir

    I'd encourage you not to judge #hackerNews by (some of) the people who *post* there.

    My post about Mastodon was recently on HN, and caused a surge of new registrations to @fosstodon—and those new users have been overwhelmingly great folks.

    Even if some of the most prolific commenters have some of the flaws you describe, HN posts *also* reach much wider audience

    @Gargron Great to see more positive coverage!

    I don't know if you saw my blog post (https://www.codesections.com/blog/mastodon-elevator-pitch/) hit the top of #hackerNews yesterday, but I bet the Wired story will have an even broader reach!

    @gairsty This is pretty cool! I'd posted on #hackerNews about the e-reader version of this (which is what inspired the web version).

    It looks like the web-version is now the second-highest comment on the discussion of the e-ink version, which is pretty cool. Maybe my HN post helped this web version gain a bit more exposure.

    @kev, your write up about how #Mastodon works is doing well on #hackernews at the moment. If anyone wants to jump into the comments there, people seem to have questions.
