💫🎨 Orbit of Whimsy A cosmic playground where gravity lets go and imagination takes flight. Miró meets Kandinsky in this surreal constellation of color and chaos.

🧠🎨 The Spectrum Within
A soul refracted, a face assembled by emotion and geometry.
When the mind becomes a mosaic, beauty takes every shape.

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part? @laurenshof looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and fediverse.

Excited to share our community vision for @Mastodon today: we are for the people.
This year our focus is on ensuring everyone can have a safe and fun experience on #MastodonSocial and #MastodonOnline, and doing more to support and celebrate the diverse servers running #Mastodon, its forks, and every #Fediverse application out there.

Spoiler alert: it works!

On the mastodon web UI, does anyone know how to get rid of the horrible, distracting swirling circle animation that appears whenever you open a post (to show that it's checking for more replies)?
I'm OK with it checking I guess, but that thing drives me nuts. I can't find any setting to turn off checking for more replies and the "reduce motion in animations" setting (which I already had turned on) does nothing to stop it.
I don't have a github (or whatever) account to report it as a bug or request. Has anyone reported this as an issue yet?
I can't be the only one who has a problem with it (this is mastodon after all!). I noticed it immediately after the feature was added and I'm pretty sure I posted complaint toot about it that got no reactions. Just wondering if anything has changed since then.

Kuddo's to @EUCommission for having but more importantly USING their #Mastodon instance actively
Not only posting but also engaging with people, love that!
Meanwhile the #US mostly uses "TruthSocial" that is build on wrecked Mastodon code to profit the President and him alone
This is a win for #Europe! 
Periodisk påmindelse:
Her på #Mastodon er det DIG der er algoritmen
Det dit engagement der påvirker om andre også får set det indlæg du kiggede på - og måske synes er væsentligt
- og ikke som på kommercielle SoMe hvor algoritmerne fremmer indlæg (til gavn for annoncørerne)
Så tag lige og bruge et par sekunder på at overveje og et indlæg skal boostes / fremhæves - inden du scroller videre
Here it is! Our metalhead.club public advert in Wacken!
Thank you very much @MountainWizard for checking it out!
If you're in Wacken today or in the next few days: Find our advert at Hauptstraße 33 and maybe take a selfie? 😉
(are we the first Mastodon instance that has publicly deployed an advert?)
We’ll be adding support for the new instance stats in 4.4 in an upcoming update!

Some people talk about minimizing social media time and the associated doomscrolling, but every day Mastodon reminds me of how many kind, caring people there are. And how many I'm privileged to know on here. (And how many have adorable cats. Or dogs. Or goats.) People who appreciate the beauty around us; people who want to save the environment; people who want a good life for everyone.
It lifts me up, even when the news is horrific. Thank you all.

再次把 Mastodon 实例迁移至 Mastodon Glitch-Soc 版本。
最主要的功能是它支持 Markdown。
4.3.0 后 Glitch-Soc 版本的 Docker 镜像也有 Release 版本了，以前只有 Nightly 镜像，Watchtower 自动更新经常出错。有段时间我是自己从某个固定的 Commit （对比 Mastodon 上游的 Release 的 Commit）去 Build 稳定版本。
还有一点 Glitch-Soc 版本的维护者也是 Mastodon master 的活跃贡献者。
