Aus.Social Admin @aussocialadmin@aus.social

FYI: If you're running Firefox and notice the random font colours are broken all over the web.

Smash the update button under Extensions, and it will update the Firefox container plugin that caused the problem.

Hattip to @augustine for the fix

I'm doing some maintenance on the server tonight.

What should we name our new megafauna mascot friend?

So far..... Dippy, Doug/Dougie, Skwodge. #NameOurMascot

Tweaked the code to cause DMs to be highlighted in a different colour.

Upgraded aus.social to the latest release.

The biggest change is renaming the "direct messages" to "mentioned people only"... because REAL direct messages will be added back in the future.
