mastodon

Friends, please share my campaign. I'm so tired of asking for help every day without receiving any contributions. Please donate and make a difference in our day. Even five dollars will provide a decent meal. Please don't underestimate any donation. We are trapped, and your donation is like a hand reaching out to save us. 🙏😔

“Small is not necessarily bad. My favorite of these networks, personally, is Mastodon. I like my community there because it’s small and generally free of both drama and nonsense. But small precludes mainstream cultural relevance.”—@daringfireball

An enormous number of authentic and fulfilling social experiences require a community too small to have mainstream cultural relevance. And if they do take off, they become gentrified and lose what made them great to begin with.

Is there a Fedi service that aggregate all the links posted from my followers into one RSS feed that I can subscribe to for the times that I don’t log onto the Fediverse? I did find mastodon to RSS but that uses an algorithm to only show the links that are most clicked, and I want a service that shares every link that my followers post even if no one clicks on it.

I am not looking to self host. I’m looking for a fully managed service.

La prochaine version majeure de Mastodon promet bon nombre de changement au niveau de son interface, notamment la séparation — bienvenue — entre les messages (« post » en anglais) et les mentions privées.
Ces derniers étant renommées « messages » en anglais il nous faut trouver une traduction explicite pour les differencier.

« Message privé » me paraît approprié, mais je souhaiterais receuillir des avis et suggestions avant de proposer une traduction.

Fédivers fait ton truc et partage ce message.

ICYMI, Crowfi v0.25 is now available on the App Store!

What’s New:
- Post Editor: Long-press the text box and use the menu to paste images from your clipboard.
- Profile: Use the top-right @ button on a user's profile to initiate a public or private mention.
- Minor UI tweaks and bug fixes.

#FediHood now lets you sign up and log in with your #Mastodon account. It only uses the minimal API scope "read:accounts", and the token is immediately revoked. Your Mastodon identity is never shown nor federated.

Without an account, the app suggests a handle and you pick a city, no email and no password to manage. With an existing account, you can link your Mastodon account to it, and each Mastodon account can only be linked once.

More: https://fedihood.social/about

When the new Mastodon design was released, I knew I would need a more powerful interface as I manage multiple accounts and there was no official support for that.

So I worked on it periodically, when I had time, and now its 80% ready, with basic support and powerful customization! Built with Nuxt 4 and Tailwind ✨

You can control who can see your post by choosing a visibility setting when you publish it. Here's a guide to all the visibility settings and how to use them:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon

The guide also answers lots of questions about visibility settings. Let me know if I've missed something!

If you want to restrict who can see your post, choose "Followers Only" (only your followers can see it) or "Only People I Mention" (only accounts mentioned in that post can see it).

Noticed people look for something unique in everybody so I guess I'll tell what makes me unique.

I have the same amount of real friends as the calories of what's in a Coke Zero, for 7 years. I'm still alright physically, conscientiously, physiologically and mentally.

I'm probably the only guy in the world who has survived this long without somebody to "lean on" without killing themselves or resorting to an LLM for companionship (gross).

I did have friends on the net but they've left me alone, some have chosen to leave me alone, blocked me, but for the rest I told 'em to leave me alone, for their sake. I've been alone on the net for almost a year.

I don't have a girlfriend and my parents cannot be relied on for emotional support so even on that aspect of life I'm also alone.

So sorry if I'm kinda strange and/or annoying. I can only wish anybody to understand, and if I get in your feed, just mute me, unfollow, everything so you don't see me.

I'm alright with it :)

#mastodon

The social media I consume:

Facebook, an ad-infested swamp where I sometimes see updates from family and old friends who won't switch platforms.

Reddit, because sometimes I want to inject my eyeballs with algorithm-driven content that also is somewhat user-driven.

BlueSky, which has interesting perspectives from otherwise intelligent people who somehow think Mastodon is "too hard."

Mastodon, which I see as simply the *real* internet.

Nie przesadzę, gdy stwierdzę, że przywołany wątek @nusquam_tuta_fides to obowiązkowa lektura, a następnie potrzeba świadomego działania i edukowania najbliższych—rodziny, bliższych i dalszych kręgów własnych znajomych. W myśl zasady „małą łyżeczką, nie chochlą”. I wcale nie trzeba być ekspertem, aby pomagać innym w zrozumieniu—każdy w swoim otoczeniu—że są alternatywne rozwiązania wobec technologii #bigtech i dlaczego sięganie po nie—staje się tak ważne i kluczowe.

Sam odnajduję sporo zbieżnych doświadczeń wskazywanych przez autora wątku—od historii Windowsa, przez Linuksa po macOS/iOS u mnie obecnie—i wiem, że edukowanie najbliższych o konieczności świadomych wyborów, z początku było wyzwaniem, ale z biegiem czasu przyniosło spodziewane efekty i poczucie satysfakcji z pozyskanego, obiegowego tytułu „domowego specjalisty ds. bezpieczeństwa cyfrowego” :)

Konsekwencja w działaniu—każdym—rodzi owoce.

Nie mam sporych zasięgów—jestem tu nowy—jednak włączam się do tematu i podaję dalej, a toota przypinam.

It's time for our first Server Spotlight!

We want to help people find their communities across the #fediverse so we're featuring servers here on this account.

First up: The Mended Drum, a home for fans of all things Sir Terry Pratchett.

It is said that if you stay on The Mended Drum long enough, you'll meet every hero on the server: https://mendeddrum.org/directory

(keep an eye on your horse, though 😉)

So. Is it just coincidence that the new theme colors available on Mastodon.social are almost the same colors as the 4 Mastodon plushie mascots? I THINK NOT!!!!

It's official, Halis can now onboard new users fully automatically.

You can now find a registration button on halis.io, if you want to try out some of the services available there

I am aware I am addressing the wrong crowd here, because if you are on the fediverse, you may not need what Halis provides, but one never knows :)

I have been working on this infrastructure for years at this point, aiming to provide anyone in need with a corner of privacy, and this is only the first iteration !

Let me know if you have any feedback, and boosts are very much appreciated !

Listodon has been updated to #Mastodon v4.7.1

No issues, tho my routine notes have me doing a bundle install, yarn install --immutable, and RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile on every upgrade.

It seems that this simply required a bundle install this time...it seemed to work just fine, at least I see the updated version number when restarted.

#MastoAdmin

I have a question about #Mastodon's "Mute Conversation" option.

Consider the following:

* I write a post.
* Alice replies to me.
* Bob replies to me.
* Chuck replies to Bob.

I click "Mute Conversation" on Chuck's reply.

Does that mute the *whole* conversation?
Does it just mute replies to Chuck's branch of the conversation?
Can I see further replies to Alice's reply?

(Poll in next post.)

After tweaking some layout logic, @crowfi now has initial support for iPhone Duo! 🚀

#IndieDev #iOSDev #BuildInPublic #Mastodon

I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.

This will happen in 3 months time, on November 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate.

The reason for this is that I can no longer trust:

- the #Linux kernel
- #Debian
- rails
- most #Foss projects

Additionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help.

Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen ai slop, and basically NONE of it can be trusted anymore.

It's impossible to vet slop from an ecosystem that is welcoming of it.

This makes it nearly impossible to update my systems, which makes it harder to pretend it's even remotely secure.

I'm fucking devestated - gutted by what has happened to computing, and I just do not have the resources to keep fighting.

Fuck all you #LLM boosters into the sun. May you learn the folly of your way and DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!

#introduction time! My name is Matt, I'm new to veganism.social, but not new to the #Fediverse. I first joined in 2018 on a #mastodon instance that's probably gone by now. I've been leaving and coming back over the years due to health and life circumstances, but I've been consistently back on for a while.

Anyways, I'm an #opensource web developer (#php / #vue), #punk / #metal musician, #anarchist, #antifascist as hell, #feminist, #ally, and hater of #bigtech and what #ai is doing to our planet. Speaking of our planet, I am a #vegan for health and ethical reasons, but I am not going to be shitty towards people if they're not.

I'm in the process of building out my own little spot on the #indieweb / #smallweb so I can return to running my mouth on a blog.

If I followed you, it's probably because we have common interests, or I enjoy your brand of #shitposting. Or you've activated my inner-geek with #startrek and #videogames.

Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. I hope the attached picture of Marvin the Mushroom has brightened your feed in some way.
