mastodon

Anyone know a decent Mastodon hosting biz where both the company and the servers are run in a reasonably privacy conscious country?

Bonus points for: being a collective or social purpose company, a bus factor of >1 and payment without Paypal.

Heelloo u guys! 👋🥹 I miss y'all🫂 I hope u all have a great #weekend & #silentsunday. I'm kinda better but not 100% fully recovered—still it's a progress.
I went & had a check-up & TYPE B INFLUENZA was the suspect with all of this.. I had to isolate myself and avoid crowded places. Its heartbreaking obviously but dont worry I will definetely be fine & will recover as my doctor says.

So u kno what's hard guys? Take a guess. *sighs*

Juliette died last night. She was 13.

In June I posted a photo of her in a yellow unicorn party hat and called it her "second" birthday. A year before that I had spent a weekend doing some kind of CPR on her and writing her heart rate down every 30 minutes, certain she would not see Monday.

She saw fourteen more months. She walked, she ate, she ran around the flat like nothing had happened.

That post: https://dol.social/@dima/116782367532858418

Thank you to everyone who wrote something kind under it. I went back and read all of it again today.

This photo is from a boat on Lake Lucerne. A third of her life she spent here in Switzerland, and on every walk it was obvious who was walking whom.

She always got her way. She never backed down from anything, not once, not until yesterday.

❤️

I really am a supporter of free speech and free expression, but I *really* wish you would ban heterosexuals on your instance.

Gay pride is about being gay.

And it's especially a real pity because mastodon.social is a big instance and pretty central to the Mastodon corner of the Fediverse.

I really do not want to block your whole instance. But it's a real nuisance trying to Limit those accounts.

If people want to publish heterosexual content of whatever kind, they really should join or create focused instances for that, such as poast

Don't we want to cultivate a more "family-friendly" environment that will attract a bigger public?

Uncensored heterosexuality on Free Open Source Software networks is precisely what "Big Gay" points at when they say that only queer social tools are child-safe. We *know* that is in fact the case.

It's already a certain workload moderating a Mastodon instance.

If we don't sandbox heterosexuality, then why don't we allow the US flag and other offensive content?

I actually did a some six weeks of training as a moderator for disqordia dot space, so I do have some personal knowledge of the range of content you could be exposed to if nobody moderates anything.

ATENCIÓN ⚠️ Mis servicios web dejarán de estar disponibles pronto.

A partir del primero de diciembre de 2026 mis servicios web basados en software libre dejarán de funcionar. Los servicios que se verán afectados por esto son los siguientes:

• SearXNG (https://search.autumn64.xyz/)
• Redlib (https://redlib.autumn64.xyz/)
• Lingva (https://translate.autumn64.xyz/)

Después del 1ro de diciembre estos sitios serán dados de baja permanentemente y no se podrán utilizar más, ni prestarán servicio. Mi página web seguirá estando activa y no será dada de baja.

Esta es una decisión muy difícil para mí, pero algunas de las situaciones que me han llevado a tomarla son:

• La falta de apoyo por parte de la comunidad.
• Por el momento soy incapaz de sufragar el gasto de mantener un servidor o una VPS para estos servicios.
• Mis actividades profesionales me dejan muy poco tiempo libre, lo que me impide darle un mantenimiento adecuado a mis servicios.
• Hay cientos de instancias de los mismos servicios de personas que hacen un mucho mejor trabajo que yo y que pueden darle la dedicación que se merece.

Agradezco muchísimo todo el apoyo que he recibido por parte de ustedes en estos 2 años de trabajo y difusión. ¡Muchas gracias!

Hi #Mastodon there's 18 hrs left to keep us housed, the most ideal would be a week of housing at 1055

We're at $1000/$1055 Needed for that and
$222 more would give us food, gas and other needs for the week as well

Seeking beta testers for a new opt-in Fediverse service - FediAdhan
https://fediadhan.org/

Have you ever felt your #Mastodon timeline was missing something? You get regular updates about the weather, the bongs of Big Ben on the hour; perhaps even that one account that toots like a chicken. But you've been missing timely updates about the Islamic call to prayer.

No longer: with FediAdhan, simply pick your location on the map and you'll get an account you can follow from your #ActivityPub client, which will drop a toot in your timeline when any of the five Islamic prayer times rolls around (and optionally for sunrise as well). And you get a neat pie chart of daylight/twilight for your location, as a bonus.

Explicitly opt-in, privacy focused, #HumanMade with no LLMs used at any stage in development. Try it out, let me know if you have thoughts, feedback, issues you run into.

i desperately needed to get my cat popo some recovery wet food but u know whats making me heartbroken & devastated?— is that honestly I can't even afford to get him some because I spent it for paying the vet & to get mr.popo the vaccine for fcv.😢💔🙏🏻

Dekorieren eines Fediversen-Baums (aktualisiert) - Fediverse.Party
- erforsche föderierte Netzwerke

https://fediverse.party/en/post/decorating-a-fediverse-tree/

Laßt uns eine richtige fediverse Atmosphäre schaffen, indem wir zusammen Papierdeko herstellen!

Wenn dein Drucker schwarz-weiß ist, lass ihn dich nicht aufhalten. Papierdeko sieht auch ohne Farbe gut aus!

Versuche nicht, ein perfektes Spielzeug zu machen.

Wir haben Spaß!

Es spielt keine Rolle, ob Du es um einen halben Millimeter falsch schneidest!

Außerdem kannst du es immer mit einer Schere korrigieren, indem du alle Kleinteile schneidest, bevor du sie zusammenklebst oder sogar nach dem Zusammenbau des Spielzeugs.

Die allgemeinen Regeln sind: entlang durchgezogener Linien schneiden, entlang gestrichelter Linien falten. Es ist nützlich, alle gestrichelten Linien zu falten und zu entfalten, bevor du mit dem Kleben beginnst; macht es einfacher, mit der Vorlage zu arbeiten.

Sobald du mit Mastodon fertig bist, machen wir den roten Panda Fred, Pixelfeds Maskottchen. Hier ist die Vorlage. Es ist ein einfaches Papierspielzeug - keine kleinen Details. Klebe einfach alle weißen Teile auf die Innenseiten der nahe gelegenen Facetten, und wir sind fertig!

Als nächstes auf unserer Liste ist PeerTubes Maskottchen - schnappe dir die Vorlage für Cuttlefish Papa
Sepia: Seite 1, page 2 Seite 2.

Dieser kann etwas mehr Zeit in Anspruch nehmen, mit all seinen Beinen! Wenn du das Spielzeug irgendwo aufhängen möchtest, denke daran, zwei Löcher zu machen und einen Faden durch sie zu legen, bevor du anfängst, die Oberseite des Spielzeugs an den Boden zu kleben.

Und noch ein Spielzeug für den letzten Schliff: Friendicas Flachs O’Hare. Vorlage.

Das einzige schwierige Teil ist, das obere Teil genau auf den Körper zu kleben. Zuerst Kleber auf den linken (oder rechten) weißen Teil des oberen Teils auftragen und in den Schlitz auf der Körperseite einführen. Das Gleiche für die andere Seite tun. Jetzt ist es einfacher, die mittleren weißen Teile an den Körper zu kleben.

Tada! Die Spielzeuge sind bereit.

Aber hey, du kannst viele andere Dinge mit solchen Spielzeugen machen.

Weißt du nicht, wie du deine Freunde und Kollegen in föderierten sozialen Netzwerken interessieren kannst? Schenke ihnen eines dieser süßen Maskottchen. Du kannst den Link zu Ihrem Profil auf der Rückseite schreiben. Schlage deinen Kindern oder Freunden vor, diese Spielzeuge zusammen zu machen - sie werden eine lustige "Einführung" in die Fediverse-Welt zu schätzen wissen!

Sie können Ihre Makerspaces und Fensterbänke mit Fedi-Maskottchen dekorieren. Schließlich kannst du sie Fremden als schönes Werbematerial präsentieren. Du könntest auch Aufkleber für diesen Zweck drucken - aber Spielzeug wird niemanden gleichgültig lassen, und wenn Du sie größer machst, werden sie sicherlich Aufmerksamkeit erregen.

Wir haben nur vier Spielzeuge gemacht, aber es gibt viele andere Projekte im föderierten Universum. Hast du irgendwelche Vorlagen für andere Fediverse-Projekte erstellt? Bitte reiche sie hier ein oder sende Bilder in föderierten Netzwerken, und der Beitrag wird mit Ihren Beiträgen aktualisiert.

Möchtest du die Fotos vom eigenen Fediverse-Baum und Fedi-Spielzeug teilen? Poste sie in föderierten Netzwerken unter dem Hashtag #PaperFedi2021. 🙂

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117036096486689894

Dear @Codeberg,

According to the anonymous Linux-Is-Best account, I am a scammer and Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org), which I made and help run, is a scam, and every person from Gaza we verified using video calls – all 303 of them, by last count¹ – is also a scammer.

(Please see: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/2971)

This presents a problem because I am also a part of the Codeberg organisation as an active member with voting rights.

And the Gaza Verified source code is hosted on Codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/small-web/gaza-verified.org

(We’re clearly a very transparent scam operation that believes in FOSS, etc.)

So, if Linux-Is-Best is right, you are harbouring a known scammer in your organisation. Furthermore, by allowing the source code of the scam on your site, you could be held liable if you know of the scam but do nothing about it.

So, please:

1. Either remove me as an active member (and give me notice so I can cancel my direct debit and have time to migrate my account and projects elsewhere), or

2. Take down the libellous claims by this anonymous troll who is causing real harm to people facing genocide in Gaza (and who is thus, himself, complicit in genocide).

So I’m either a scammer and I should not be allowed to be part of the Codeberg organisation or the anonymous Linux-Is-Best is a libellous, genocide-complicit troll and should not be welcome at Codeberg. Because both of these cannot be true at the same time.

I’ll leave it to you to decide who you would rather want associated with Codeberg.

It shouldn’t be a very difficult decision to make.

Been fiddling with this (mock) for a while. Would this be easier to understand and make sense?

Some nice improvements to Mastodon coming in 5.0 Mostly to do with how posts are composed which was always cramped and weird in the past. And no more mixing up normal posts with DMs. Page · piefed.social

For devs who build apps on the #Mastodon API, I have started to document the dedicated endpoints for #FediHood. The common Mastodon endpoints are already supported.

https://fedihood.social/api-docs

Of course, these will be added to #Fedilab

The Gamers’ Tavern is a cosy Mastodon server talking mainly about gaming and other topics. The goal is providing gamers a cosy and safe home to play together.

This server has a post size of up to 1500 characters and up to 8 poll options.

I just found a bug either in #Mastodon or #MonaApp itself… the service doesn't accept text that is strikethrough, you can put the text into the app, the app and the service accept it, but drop the word completely. I find that amusing. I don't really care to file any sort of bug report, I honestly don't believe it's important enough for that sort of treatment, but I find it very funny.
