Ended up answering my own question once I remembered the button that sent me to the lemmy.zip version of the thread, seems like that instance is failing to fetch the updates rather than this being a browser/app issue. That's also why I'm double-replying to this comment rather than editing my other one here. Might be worth a message to the .zip instance admin(s) in case something's busted, just going to check around first and see if it's a known issue.

Edit that you might not see for a while: Looks like they've been doing some updates and other maintenance recently, might just take some time for the dust to settle from all of that. Can see the federation status between .world and .zip here.

Interesting, are you using a web browser or one of the apps?

Here are the posts I grabbed before the killjoys answered their urgent texts to shut it all down:

Check the ground near where the drone got him, you might still find remnants of both.

I'd still put that on the web devs. It's a simple unsubscribe form, should be able to survive an ad blocker without imploding.

Email every single email address you can find...

The "there's always an inbox open somewhere" approach to dealing with messages from accounts that don't accept replies. Make it less annoying to solve the problem than to leave it unsolved and like magic, it gets fixed.

I'm not going either, do I get an article? Who gives a shit? Crusty old man died a crusty old man's death. It's not a big deal, happens every day.

My CSI handwavium zoom/enhance tool didn't come with an eraser, unfortunately.

Breaking news: Pope Francis is still dead.

I've seen enough Star Trek to know how you deal with a red-shirt.

That's like arresting a live grenade and leaving the pin behind. Better hold on tight or start putting some distance between yourself and the whole situation.

If they keep trying, you didn't hit them hard enough.

Should have run the responses by the staff member nobody likes to play against on board game night.

Yes, unless you ask a fucking idiot.

I certainly don't recommend following the link to his obituary from the article and reading the entries in the traitor's tribute book.

Example of some of those entries:

Edit: Somebody noticed.

Just have to zoom out a little, nothing to it.

No tank you.

From the stickied post:

No social media. This includes Substack and Medium blogposts.

(Emphasis added)

That is how numbers work, yes.

Interesting definition of "fixed".
