This is more of a curiosity, and to see what the bias is here on #Mastodon, so here is a band of characters that might be a potential travel buddy in a month or so. As a poll on this default instance only allows for 4 options, and there are 6 to choose from, respond to this toot with you're choice of travel companion. #Boost this to get the largest audience it can find.

Please report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.

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


People use dashes as punctuation--for example, double dash instead of the em dash. If I said "I love #Mastodon--though I am biased", I would be very surprised the hashtag got turned into "Mastodon though". Some people don't bother to double dash and use a single dash for the same purpose.


Is #cve_2025_6019 an option for you?

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


As some of you may have already noticed, in the latest #Mastodon update, we've reworked the layout of the web app for smaller screen sizes. It should be easier to navigate and more pleasant to the eye. Let me know what you think!


Um nochmal die #fediverse und #mastodon Diskussion von der #rp25 rund um das Thema "Sichtbarkeit und Reichweite" aufzunehmen. Was haltet ihr von der Idee, das Anlegen von "Frontpages fürs Fediverse" als Feature anzubieten? Also eine webbasierte Funktion zum Kuratieren von Posts in einem HTML Interface als "Zubringer" für Interessierte und Neulinge? Hab mir mal einen hässlichen PoC gevibecodet - und dank API ist das ja eigentlich gut machbar.
PS Nein, da soll keine Werbung drauf 🙄


Day 3 at @republica in Berlin - so much has happened already: great meetups, panels, and discussion about the #Fediverse! Join the panel with our CFO @mellifluousbox today at 16:45 on Stage 7 about "Independent social networks: how can they become mainstream?" #rp25 #mastodon #rp25fedi re-publica.com/de/session/unab…


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.

Hoy retomamos esta serie de testimonios sobre la experiencia en el #fediverso

#Mastodon mucho más que una alternativa a...

sursiendo.org/2022/11/mastodon…


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

Looks like a copy and paste post here. This is #Mastodon, what #algorithm are you referring to? :blobpeek:




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.

Danke@DS_Stiftung@social.bund.de

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.

We at Vivaldi are the only browser company with a Mastodon server. We have chosen to support the Fediverse in every way we can. We will continue to do so as we need options away from Big Tech.

#mastodon is the wiser option in my humble opinion :blobcatcoffee:


I’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas… about.iftas.org/


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:

blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…


With the latest update to #Mastodon's web app, we show you a little reminder when you're about to post a picture without adding alt text. Alt text is crucial for accessibility, but has other perks too, such as making it much easier to search for your post—or filter it. Of course, the reminder can be simply toggled off in preferences.

I think another graph from F-Droid would be nice too.
#Mastodon


I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...


With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.


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!
