@hypolite I think complementing the spread comes from an appreciation of having enough for everyone. Also, a spread is more convenient because, at least in my experience, holiday meals are potluck; everybody brings a dish or two. The host may request specific dishes from certain people, but they may bring other dishes (they made too much for a different gathering so split it and brought the extra, they enjoy a specific dish and wanna make sure it’s there, etc)

@hypolite how would presenting the food in discrete courses tell you anything about the quality of the food? I didn't realize this was an American thing. I assumed courses were only still a thing at over-the-top fancy restaurants -

@evan I think it'd be better for them to set up a federating instance of wordpress than running a mastodon server. They can show off wordpress and their activitypub plugin and the fediverse can move farther away from mastodon's control -

@hypolite @0fury Even that wasn't always accurate, though, right? Or a better way to put it, test suites dont guarantee your software will federate perfectly. Each implementation has its own eccentricities that may still be spec compliant (e.g. WebFinger being required to federate with mastodon)
