Never done a proper #introduction since opening my #Mastodon account in early October so here we go

I'm an ecologist based in Berlin and I currently work on #lightpollution & its effects on #insects. I have also worked on a range of other topics in #ecology like #foodwebs & #invasivespecies

I'm also an editorial board member at the journal Oikos & a working group speaker for science communication at the Leibniz Postdoc Network

Looking forward to expand my #Mastodon community in 2023

New #blog: Autodetecting and Announcing #Mastodon Scrapers and Crawlers

There've been quite a few #fedisearch issues recently, but the common thread is that there's usually a gap in reporting - they're often live for weeks before people are made aware.

It's not just people's pet projects either, there are other #scrapers active, quietly consuming posts

So, I built a bot to detect and out them so that fedi admins can block as necessary

https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/blog/security/autodetecting-and-outing-mastodon-scrapers-with-scrapersnitchbot.html

#infosec #security


I got tired of forgetting where the #RSS / #Atom #feeds are on various #Fediverse platforms and having to track them down, so I started a list.

https://hyperborea.org/tech-tips/fediverse-feeds/

Currently covers *deep breath* #Mastodon, #Bookwyrm, #Funkwhale, #GoToSocial, #Lemmy, #Misskey & forks, #Pleroma & forks #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Plume, #Snac2, #Takahe, and #WriteFreely

*whew*

Feel free to let me know what I should add to the list (or any corrections I need to make) in a reply to this post!


If you're interested in upcoming features on #Mastodon, there's an official public roadmap at:

➡️ https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap

The abbreviations before each feature tell you which part of Mastodon it concerns. "MAS" means the web interface and core functions, "AND" means the official Android app, "IOS" means the official iPhone/iPad app.

Third party apps and interfaces will have their own roadmaps which may be completely different, as they are made independently by third party teams.


Here’s @coachtony sharing more about what we’re up to with me.dm, why we’re excited about #Mastodon and the #fediverse, and what it will mean for #Medium writers and members.

As @coachtony writes:

”Today, Medium is launching a Mastodon instance at me.dm to help our authors, publications and readers find a home in the fediverse. Mastodon is an emerging force for good in social media and we are excited to join this community."

Independent media and independent microblogging are a dream pairing, which Steady wants to encourage more of, and support.

That's why Steady is waiving its 10% fees for admins of Mastodon instances for the first six months.

Attention fedizens, it has come to our attention that more trolls are causing a ruckus on the #fediverse. Beware of users who use acronyms like lgbtq/lgbtqia in posts or on their profiles.

LGBTQ/LGBTQIA stands for Let's Get Banned Today Quickly (by) Instance Admins, is used to refer to a group of trolls who like to block evade or "speedrun" getting defederated.

They will make inflammatory posts such as the one below to see how quickly they can get on #fediblock.

If you see any #lgbtqia individuals please block and federate safely.

Hochinteressanter Podcast zum Thema #Datenschutz und #DigitalServices Act bei #Mastodon. Ist aber auch meiner Meinung nach interessant für alle andere Software im #Fedivers

Hello #Mastodon friends,
I have reported this fake account (in photos), where someone is impersonating me in many comments using my photos & bio to promote their writing. If this indieauthors.social account replied to you, don’t be duped.

Aside from reporting, there’s little I can do, but welcome any #tips. This happened on #Twitter & it’s disappointing to see it again here. But on social media, so it goes.


ok I was reading the article and enjoying it but then I stumble upon a quote saying Mastodon is not a website but an app and I instantly die
RE: https://noc.social/users/Norobiik/statuses/109574928041690991

"Mastodon’s values are antithetical to the way we’ve come to understand the purpose of #technology and technology companies. We’ve been trained to favor ease of use and affordability over everything else. If a product is slick or free, then we are expected to sacrifice whatever’s necessary — usually our privacy or our attention span — to use it."

This will be great exposure for Mastodon, and I'm excited that it's happening on Reddit. These two are currently the only social sites I use.

#Twitter suspends #Mastodon account, prevents sharing links: Our statement

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2022/12/twitter-suspends-mastodon-account-prevents-sharing-links/


I'm leaving #Twitter for the time being. I'll keep the account around, but that's it. No more posts, and I uninstalled the app. I'll stick to #Mastodon for now!

https://thelinuxexp.com/Bye-Twitter/


Twitter has blocked posting links to #Mastodon, you can't tweet a link to a Mastodon instance anymore, or at least you can't to any of the big instances (regex for the word "mastodon" perhaps?). The official @Mastodon account has also just been suspended. #Twitter #TwitterMigration


On CCN now. A number of CNN staff have been suspended too. One was re the jet thingies.

Nothing that this pathetic narcissistic loser does surprises or shocks me any more ...

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:

➡️ https://chirp.social

You can join a group by following the group account. You can post to the group by @-ing the group account, which then reposts that to all its other followers

It is similar to the existing https://a.gup.pe system, but chirp.social allows a group manager to delete posts and ban people from the group.

It works on all Fediverse platforms including Mastodon.

nice christmas decor. You bought it or make by yourself. Anyway, #MerryChristmas to all in #mastodon All the best.


David Eastman examines Mastodon's federated approach in a "decentralized Twitter" series he's been doing for The New Stack.

Did you know that the #Mastodon BDFL (still) does not want instances to be able to provide their own icons, logos, colors, etc.?

Even that custom icon you know and love from your instance is now marked as "(legacy)" in the latest release.

Appeareance of images attached to a post


Hello @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support @https://friendica-dev.mbbit.de/profile/friendicadev Hello dear community, I would like to discuss with you about the appearance of posts with multiple images on #Friedica. Here is my opinion:
The current way multiple #images are displayed is awful:

Yeah, you saw it by my embedded examples your self. What bothers me most is:

  • It just looks messy (especially when there is a mix of landscape and portrait format)
  • Besides the aesthetics, multiple images take a lot of room (when you do not use an add-on like show more)


My suggestion on which I would love to hear your opinion is to use a grid format like on #mastodon:

I would pitch a suggestion by adding a PR for a (from my point of view) "better" appearance based to this
tutorial. I do not like to use JS in general and would leave it out by determine the suited amount of columns in the backend.

But before I invest time on that, I want to hear your feedback. Thank You!
