I'm reposting this because I messed up last time and forgot to use hashtags.

Just a tip if you're on Mastodon...
If you edit and add the hashtags you forgot, they still work -
This is an excellent analogy!!

I was told that they wouldn't work when I asked.Oh well, like I said, this time I could post it directly. (Plus I might have made a few small improvements. 🤫 )

@hellomiakoda @actuallyautistic
Thanks! My mind is always doing analogies. This time it came out as a story. -
@murdoc @actuallyautistic I found it moving, and I think you should make this a children's book, if you're up to it.

@hellomiakoda @actuallyautistic
Boy do I take things too literally sometimes. "You found what while you were moving (from one domicile to another)? A children's book? Ooooooh, that kind of 'moving'."Well thanks again. I'm not even sure how that would be done. Do you mean commercially?

@murdoc It's unrealistic, though. Neurotypicality supremacists wouldn't be impressed by a car going unexpectedly fast; they'd invent reasons why it's a bad thing to go faster than Normal Tractors(tm).

@murdoc It doesn't work in some old implementations, but it's supposed to.
What happens is, Fediverse nodes index posts when they notice hashtags. And the simplest thing to do is to check hashtags every time that a new toot comes in. Checking hashtags — to be not only added but also potentially removed — when a new edit of an already existing toot comes in was not thought of right away by some people who wrote Fediverse nodes, and so these implementations don't reindex hashtag changes of a toot beign edited. I think most of these are several years old by now, though, so they should be uncommon.

@murdoc And this is the age-old story of why, ever since the invention of cities, lots and lots of people have been born in the countryside, felt unhappy, gone to a city, and usually not come back.
Which also meshes with why people who believe in countryside living's supremacy have been telling tall tales about the corrupting influence of cities since the Bronze Age.

@murdoc Sporty was moving from one domicile to another in the story. Notice that, having found his place, he didn't go back.
