Wil Wheaton (who I have no problems with) getting kicked off a Fediverse instance by its admins is exactly how a federated version of Twitter is supposed to work.

I have started recording videos for my “Learn To Test Like A Grumpy Programmer” course and was wondering if there are some topics other than the basics (assertions, test doubles, *why* we test) you would like me to go over
