Three years of Identi.ca/StatusNet

Even on OS X it doesn't look great, but I'm guessing you're using Windows? Windows is notoriously bad at rendering custom fonts on Web pages for some reason. Enough so that some people stop custom fonts rendering on it using a JavaScript check.

Using Linux and Chromium here, no problem with the font.
