mastodon
We just released #Mastodon 4.4.1, a small patch release fixing a few issues with 4.4.0.
We recommend to install this version instead of 4.4.0 when you update your server.
Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.1
A twist of elegance. A fold of forever. Infinity Fold by Rafael Salazar shapes the stillness of time into a living loop.

I got a boost from @lisamelton and my $6.25/mo instance didn't break a sweat. Phew!
This is still one of the best #Mastodon themes out there 
😆
Edit: it's a default Mastodon flavour in the Glitch-soc fork:

What's this?
The poster board section of a Target in #LosAngeles
They're all gone
Why are all the posters gone?
🤔
(bye for now #Mastodon, I leave soon myself to join my local #protest #demonstration)

I decided since I don't understand how all of this works, I will just simply ask Jerry personally about all of this data and technical details, so that people will no longer be confused about all of this.
Includes an exclusive interview with Jerry.
Evidently, I ruffled some feathers of a certain sort of people on a "Quiet Public" discussion by saying something that's not even that crazy.
They're reporting me en masse, even reporting posts that are completely unrelated to that discussion. They're seething because they can't accept that not everyone is going to have the same opinion on the Fediverse.
They want an echo chamber. Don't let them have it. Stand for digital freedom. 
ISSO NÃO É UM TESTE
Saiu a versão 4.4 do Mastodon!

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Quote Posts 
📢
If your instance is already running the newly released version Mastodon 4.4,
Know that in preparation for the full implementation, the team has included a consent setting for the upcoming Quote Post feature.
While quoting a post will not
be available as a native feature until Mastodon 4.5 later this year, it's wonderful that you can adjust if you want in or not before it even arrives! 
HOW TO❓
1. From the web interface, go to "Preferences" on the right-side menu. Then click on "Other" under the "Preferences" section 
2. If your instance was newly updated, you should now see an option in "Posting Defaults" for "Who can quote" (see image below) 👇
Note: If the option isn't there, your instance has not updated to the version including it yet. Be patient, it will likely be added in the weeks to come.
3. From the "Who can quote" drop-menu, you can choose either "Everyone", "Followers and mentioned users", or "Only mentioned users" 
4. Once the next version is released, you will be ready for Quote Posts! No matter your choices 💪
5. Enjoy the freedom of choosing the features you wish to participate in (or not)! 😌✨
For more information on Quote Posts, you can read Mastodon's announcement blog about it here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/
✅ Só li ese post hoje e ele não está errado.
✅ Esse negócio de entrar num perfil e não ver os posts é muito comum aqui.
✅ Esse amadorismo dos administradores de instâncias acontece muito aqui no Brasil também.
✅ Falta de caixa de entrada para mensagens é mesmo um problema.
✅ A migração é realmente limitada. Também acho que deveria trazer o conteúdo.
___________________
⭕ Entendo a decepção, mas não acho que o administrador da instância esteja errado em limitar os bots. Creio que ele deveria ter escolhido uma instância própria para isso.
⭕ E minha experiência no Bluesky foi tão ruim que já exclui minha conta (agora só tenho um clone do Mastodon lá).

🆕 Out now: our study on #academic staff engagement on #Mastodon
🔗 Summary
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582839
💡 While Mastodon is valued for its ethical positioning, continued engagement hinges more on social and institutional dynamics than on technical features alone
➡️Ethical concerns drive adoption
➡️Peer presence matters more for staying than joining
➡️Academic institutions could be game-changers by leading adoption instead of waiting for grassroots growth
