This week a new version of the Fediverser project was released and is now ready to get more users helping to reach out to people on Reddit who are willing to migrate to the Fediverse.

This new release allows users to send DMs to select reddit users via DM with an invite code. Users on reddit will get a message from the "Community Ambassador" and will be able to accept or decline the invite.

A lot of work has also been done to let new users to find a new instance directly. Users can simply say what are their interests and their primary location, and the system takes that into consideration when choosing an instance.

The default option will redirect them to any random instance that is running the fediverser software (currently only alien.top), so if there are any other admins that would be interested in joining, please let me know.

Take a look at the python code above. Because the word filter is a builtin function it gets highlighted differently than the rest of the code. The problem is, none of the occurrences of the word here relate to the builtin function and it semantically should not be any different from any other decorator or callable.

I honestly think that this is a bug with the syntax highlighter (as it should be easy to discern between a built-in function call and a method from another class, but if I could just disable syntax highlighting in python-mode for the specific keyword, it should be fine? Is that possible to do in elisp?

If you've seen my videos about Japan, you may have wondered why it looks the way it does. Today I'm going to explain it through zoning.

Special Thanks to Lisa for her guidance on the topic.
