Is there a way to remove "Trending now" from the settings so that the column I get in this is not something to be scrolled? It looks terrible on deck mode @vmstan with half scrollable, half stuck there (the trending hashtags).

Mastodon for respectful technologists, geeks and nerds of every type and stripe.

Is #cve_2025_6019 an option for you?

(Edit: had to remove the / variant, #Mastodon doesn't do nested-obsidian-style variants either 😀

In ihrer Sonderausgabe „Die besten Einfälle des 21. Jahrhunderts“ beschreibt die #zeit auch #mastodon .
Das ist dann die Rubrik „Die besten digitalen Begleiter […]“.

Zitat:
„[…] bis heute versprüht Mastodon den spröden Charme der Informatik-AG eines kleinstädtischen Gymnasiums. Und trotzdem ist das Netzwerk eine Hoffnungsmaschine für alle, die an ein anderes, besseres Internet glauben […]“

Kann man so stehenlassen, denke ich. Mich freut die Erwähnung.

@Gargron zur Info.

⚠️ This is the post that Mastodon Social took down.

Can you see any harassment?

Can you see any violence or sexual imagery?

Can you see any hate speech?

No.

What you see is a very polite comment suggesting the lessons of history have not been learned.

Those disgraceful mastodon social admins have done this too often - undermining anti-genocide voices.

I have told them I will take formal action via the relevant German regulators.

Shame on them. Shame.

Mastodon: mucho más que una alternativa a… | Sursiendo

Ante una nueva oleada migratoria usuaries de Mastodon nos cuentan su experiencia habitando una red social libre y descentralizada.

I’m proud to be joining @Mastodon’s Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.

I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.

But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because our strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞

@evan

any chance of getting #DemocracyNow on the fedi? at least an account but maybe a #mastodon server for staff or a #peertube or #owncast site for video...

the great promise of the #SocialWeb imo is that we can address the Chomsky concerns re attention. that the people not money can finally determine what info, ideas and art go viral. seems perfectly in line with the DN mission.

@mondoweiss is blazing the trail for establishing true indy media for the dissident left here.

Every time i read in the announcements something like "Events and team news" I'm hopping to see something like "there are events now in Mastodon".
But then i realize it's just there events 😢

Events are really the thing, why I'm still using Facebook

#Mastodon

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.

Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support

Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

URGENT: The UK government must change the Online Safety Act to protect safe, non-commercial blogs, forums and fediverse.

Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:

Social-Media-Alternativen: Bluesky, Signal & Co: Neustart ohne X und Meta

Sie hadern mit Elon Musks Kurznachrichtendienst X und sind auch nicht mehr glücklich mit all dem, was Mark Zuckerbergs Meta-Konzern anbietet? Kein Problem. Es gibt Alternativen.

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.


For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.

Let’s lead by example 🙂

OJO!
