Sad the dude behind it is kind of a Jerk. Was bullying a kid on Mastodon just a few weeks back and he got a bunch of backlash for it. Dude also got a bit of a Messiah complex, had to unfollow him 🥴

43.001k! I just joined with my own instance in my over engineered lab 🧪

Dozens!

What? Not following at all

Yeah, we all know that. OP was saying that Humane Pin doesn't even have that capability.
