A clever solution to BCC’s cowardice

BCC has been repeatedly removing ghost bikes from a site on Nudgee Rd after a cyclist died at the location last year, despite years of warning from cycling advocates that improved infrastructure was needed in the area. To stop them from removing the ghost bikes, highlighting the blood on BCC’s hands, *and* highlighting the absurdity of how storing private property on public land is completely ok if it’s a car, someone installed this ghost trailer.

    Hey there are some funky things going on here with the federation. Looking at the user’s Mastodon, there are replies to @_cnt0@sh.itjust.works and @jonne@infosec.pub. I can see those replies on their respective instances, too. But I don’t see the replies from aussie.zone.

    Also, when looking at jonne’s instance, I don’t see any replies other than OP’s and jonne’s.

    edit: wait, that’s simple. infosec.pub defederated sh.itjust.works. I kinda get it, they had a bit of a rep early on IIRC. Though they also defederate feddit.nl, which seems odd. Isn’t that a fairly innocuous instance?

    Still not sure why I can’t see OP’s replies from aussie.zone though. @lodion@aussie.zone, any thoughts?

      Looks good on my end, I can see both user’s replies from jerbora. Possibly an issue behind the scenes?

      Edit: I can see a bit of the issue actually, looks like some of OP’s replies aren’t there, but both user’s and all of your quotes are too.

        Huh, looks like one of OP’s replies which wasn’t showing up for me before is now, but the other still is not.
