Here is a guide to how to make your posts accessible to blind, deaf and deafblind people:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-more-accessible-to-blind-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
The guide also includes step-by-step instructions on how to add text descriptions to your image, video or audio attachments.
This guide was written in collaboration with the author and accessibility advocate @WeirdWriter . I'd highly recommend you support him at https://sightlessscribbles.com/support and check out his writing at https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts

So who was the genius at #Mastodon development who thought it would be spiff to place the "Hide" and "ALT" buttons OVER the expanded image, instead of below or above it?
Perhaps the same genius who assumed that a hidden image should still take the same amount of screen space as the un-hidden one?

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!

Por que tem tão poucas comunidades sul-americanas listadas no site oficial do Mastodon?
RE: https://bewegung.social/@neuSoM/116425879933047455
EN: And so, visitors to the website
https://openpetition.de
no longer click the #X logo as it was for a long time.
Instead, the pioneers of #citizenparticipation have now even added a share button / #ShareButton to their petition pages, allowing users to share their own signature on #Mastodon as well.
Very good. 👍

If you're curious how #Mastodon is doing by the numbers, the 2023 Annual Report is finally here. How large is our budget, and where does it go? Who works on Mastodon? For all of this and more, we've got an answer--at least as far as 2023 goes.
WRT #BlueSky: I know some people are getting a lot of mileage out of it, and I don't want to detract from that.
But whenever I log in after having been away for more than a couple of hours, I almost universally have to block a bot. Sometimes several. I feel like I spend more time blocking bots than interacting with humans.
And that's on top of the fact that blocking a user doesn't remove them from your followers list. At least, thankfully, they've started hiding blocked accounts on your publicly-viewable followers list, but this still artificially inflates follower counts. And there are still no polls, no way to increase max post length, etc.
Don't get me wrong, there are also some good things that Mastodon and other Fedi services could bear adopting (access controls for replies, quote boosts, etc). But still. Bots everywhere. Plus the fact that _here_ is where my posts actually get boosted, even on my other account with only 30some followers.
I'm not going to delete BlueSky, but for now, #Mastodon and the #Fediverse really are where it's at.
Lots of new folks taken interest in to Mastodon, because of Meta. Let's welcome new people

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

Geen #Facebook, geen #Instagram, geen #Threads, geen #Twitter/X, geen #Bluesky, geen #Tumblr, geen #TikTok, geen #Snapchat, geen #Pinterest, geen #Redit en alleen #Linkedin en #Mastodon.
En zonder #Google kom je met een Android telefoon niet ver dus helaas die nog even aanhouden.
Helaas nog wel #WhatsApp en daar vanaf gaan is erg lastig. Is mijn ervaring een aantal jaar geleden. Kom maar naar #Signal, zeg ik vaak.

If you just left Bluesky today to join or come back to Mastodon, welcome (back)!
We are glad you are here with us 
Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:
Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:
"What is an instance, anyways?"
What is your go-to answer?
The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?
What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?
Mastodon.Radio is a Mastodon server for radio enthusiasts including the Amateur (Ham) Radio community, anyone interested in Shortwave Listening (SWL), etc. Come join us and talk radio, technology, and more!

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.
