Or (B)ritain? Once I even found (T)he UK, which I only discovered by searching the page source.

It’s almost a productivity hack.

The botsin.space Mastodon server shutting down is sad news, it’s a pretty important server and if you didn’t like bots it was handy that you could just block one server and block loads of them at once.

That makes me want to see if an old blog is still posting… Overheard on the Tube, Overheard in London, something like that…

I just woke up and this confused me

leaving Mastodon out to try

While it’s clear what’s meant from the context, I’ve never heard this idiom. Do you mean “hanging Mastodon out to dry”?

Drop in the bucket sounds weird to me too, but a quick check shows that it’s the US version of drop in the ocean.

This could have been a really interesting question if OP hadn’t been so vague. As is, there’s too many interpretations to answer. Do they mean the physical connections? The protocols and services like IP, DNS and BGP? The world wide web, with its sites, links and search engines?

Does OP consider the Dark Web its own internet? Or a large corporate network its own internet? What about self-hosting a huge number of services in your own home?

I honestly don’t know if he meant that as a joke or an advert.

I’d assumed they believe in reincarnation (or the boring typo explanation), but I like your reason better.

Well, said at least - this story’s almost a decade old.

I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?

Works here too, but when I tried to save it to the Internet Archive the saved page doesn’t have AI results 😟
