Yo folks! I've partnered with a legal team who has asked me for assistance. Please share if you can
The US has implemented policies targeting non-citizens working in content moderation through deportations and visa denials. The org I'm working with is pursuing litigation to invalidate these policies.
We are looking for US-based, non-citizen Mastodon mods to be a (named or unnamed) plaintiff in the fight to protect the first amendment. Please dm me if interested!
Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.
I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:
- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.
I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:
https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md
I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!
❤️ 🦣

Let it snow! ❄️
I have added snow to my instance during the winter holidays. It's a tiny JS canvas and fades out on scroll down. The snow is also respecting the system accessibility settings, it won't be there if you prefer reduced motion.
Here's the source code for server admins: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon/commit/9bf1563af50842a5f61b34b7cc095fb746e5d15b#diff-5fcd1b6168ec33e0eff0a05fcdeacfab68e261215bbdb719be6b3526173be770

Hey adventurers!
Get ready for a thread(s).
With all the recent heat about Meta and seeing that the company decided to fully take advantage of a pretty much fascist political party to leverage their own needs, after a peaceful discussion the staff at The Gamer's Tavern decided to de-federate from Threads.net effective immediately.

There will be some short downtimes for some maintenance starting now. #mastoadmin
Starting to feel like this 2025 Influx of users is much larger than 2022 Influx of users. New users come in huge waves. Many of them also seem to genuinely like Mastodon according to the feedback. In 2022 many tried, soon gave up and left to Bluesky or back to X. Today, many have even deleted their commercial accounts and settled here.
I like this new development of things. Seeing new faces and more cat photos bring me so much joy. Thanks for being here. Remember that you matter.

We just released Mastodon 4.5.5, 4.4.12, and 4.3.18.
These versions contain various bug fixes, including very important (1 high severity, 3 moderate severity) security fixes.
Mastodon 4.2 is now unsupported, so if you still run it, please update to a supported version as soon as you can.
Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub releases page.
ummm 😅 guess we're going to have some surprise maintenance tonight! 
Expect some downtime later for upgrades!
Interessante o Anubis mas acho que implementar ele na Bolhinha, numa análise superficial e preliminar, traria mais problemas do que soluções.
Por exemplo, ele não se dá muito bem com WebSockets e o Mastodon usa isso o tempo todo.

Mastodon server admins, important news!
The Mastodon developers are going to stop suggesting mastodon.social as a "default server".
Instead, the "default" server suggestions are going to be ones for a user's language and/or geographical location.
If your server matches these:
- General public server
- Running vanilla Mastodon
- Mastodon Covenant compliant
- Have existed for 1+ year
- Have shut-down & disaster plans
...then see this post for details: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115989802617165343

We just released Mastodon 4.3.4, 4.2.17 and 4.1.23. They contain bug fixes as well as security fixes (medium severity)
We recommend every instance administrator to update as soon as possible.
If you are using our nightly releases, a container image with the fix has been published with the `nightly.2025-02-28-security` tag.

If you run your own Mastodon server and wondering how to manage storage, there's a useful video by @fedihost about it:
🌱 https://video.fedihost.co/w/caYDRrcGDTpy7yLxBKHqzu
They have also made lots of other useful tutorial videos about hosting your own Fediverse server:
🌱 https://video.fedihost.co/c/tutorials/videos
The videos cover Mastodon, PeerTube and GoToSocial 🙂
OMG the Mastodon issue about fetching whole conversation threads finally got completed after 7 years!

Mastodon ganha suporte inicial a descrição de avatares e cabeçalhos
Hoje foi aprovada uma atualização que dá suporte a armazenar e retornar descrições de imagens de avatar e cabeçalho de um perfil remoto.
Essa atualização não inclui suporte a definir essas descrições no Mastodon nem qualquer interface para exibi-las.
Softwares como o GoToSocial já suportam definir essas descrições e essa nova API do Mastodon instala as fundações para poder exibi-las no futuro.

@fediadminbr
Pushed a ton of changes to https://www.mastoreqs.com that should make it less of an eye chart and much easier to navigate, especially on mobile.
Dependencies are broken out into multiple matrices, notes are color coded, there is also a quick navigation bar on the side to jump directly to particular components.
Enjoy. Also, upgrade your shit #MastoAdmin. 
I'm learning that the mastodon announcement feature is relatively useless, Out of the ~130 MAU we have here only 28 saw an announcement after 15 days. Mastodon definitely needs to work on this.
Updated my test mastodon instance, listodon.com, to v4.5.6 and updated TangerineUI to a nice lagoon theme for the default.
I had some slowness during this upgrade, I'm not sure why. At one point I thought it was completely stalled but it finally completed.
RE: https://mstdn.social/@stux/116002476574325878
It’s absurd that instance owners have to beg for support like it’s a favor.
If you rely on a service, do the grown-up thing and help pay for it.
Servers, storage, moderation, and uptime aren’t powered by vibes.
Even $5 / €5 helps.
Check your server’s About page. If you can afford a coffee, you can afford to contribute.
Parting shot: if Mastodon really cared about growing the ecosystem, funding tools would already be built in for #Mastoadmin use. Looking at you, @Gargron 👀
Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?
Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?
Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?
If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:
➡️ @FediGarden
Let me know a little bit about your server in your message, or send a link to your About page 🙂
If you care about what you're building, don't host your stuff with Hetzner. Don't trust them.
They will take you down without warning and won't answer your queries. For sure, they'll send you an invoice, tho.
Happened before with @Ursalzona and other fediverse servers, happened now with this Peertube instance, and it's best to avoid being their next victim.
Go host your stuff somewhere else. And keep your backup routines working.
[No further help is needed at this time, THANK YOU ALL!!]
URGENT MASTODON HOSTING HELP NEEDED:
Mstdn.games is searching for a new (MANAGED) hosting solution after our host has not responded to technical help requests, and the instance has been slowing and having technical issues for over a month. Auto payments have continued to be taken out.
If you know of anyone who could help with this, please contact me asap.
We are on Mastodon 4.5.5 with Elasticsearch.
Our database is 132 GB
Our media storage is 200 GB
Please help! #MastoAdmin #Admin
Edit: We are working to move away from hosting with toot.io after a poor experience and suggest that anyone else hosted with this provider consider their options.
Thank you to everyone who reached out to help us recover our server data to transfer - the process is in the works!
