@metacpan I’m sorry, but messages addressed to @Perl are no longer reposted to the 492 members of the Perl community that followed it on the #fediverse. There is no longer any point in tagging posts with that address as the owner of https://chirp.social shut it down at the end of February.

You should continue to use the #Perl hashtag, though!

@mjgardner @metacpan there's also @perl (at perl at a.gup.pe, in case your UI hides it) which is basically the same idea.

@DrHyde @metacpan @perl I have been following @tag@relay.fedi.buzz for a while to see #Perl hashtagged posts that don’t otherwise make it to my #Mastodon instance.

Unfortunately, last September’s Mastodon 4.2.0 release broke the underlying #FediBuzz service’s basic methodology (which was a questionable kludge.) The latter’s developer, @astro, has been trying to adapt and support more traditional #ActivityPub #relay operation. I don’t know how that’s progressed over the past several months.
