@self Okay, mawhrin’s account is viewable from Hachyderm (https://hachyderm.io/@mawhrin@circumstances.run). So looks like it’s specific to Gerard.
@self Gerard’s page, for comparison: https://hachyderm.io/@davidgerard@circumstances.run
Not sure if these pages render different if you’re not logged in.
huh, for me (not logged in) David’s account is viewable via that link — that’s really bizarre. I’ll do a little more digging when I can!
