(Mastodon, by default, crops the picture to 16:9 from the center. The caption on top is not visible in this crop, and can only be seen when I click the picture to show it in its entirety.)

I don’t know why, but seeing you comment on your comments to further edify and clarify is oddly satisfying. Hit us with some more of those facts!
Mastodon is based for that, the caption is shit
