*tinfoil hat* Isn't it a little weird that one of the biggest instances on Fedi is asking for funding to personal PayPal/Ko-Fi/Patreon accounts and not a community pot like OpenCollective? 🤔

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?
Add social.tchncs.de to the list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers.

Cryptpad is an interesting platform, you can collaborate, fully encrypted, no BigTech involved, there are already several instances and ofcourse you can start your own one.

If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.
I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suff…

Huh, think I might've figured out why one (but only one) of my NextCloud instances loses contact with the OnlyOffice instance on the same host... Figured out it *might* be because of frequent polling that's resulted in the Mailcow instance (also on the host, as I'm trying to economise) is seeing it as making too many connections and is temporarily fail2banning it nightly. I've added the host's IP(v4&6) to the Fail2Ban whitelist... 🤞 it's still connected tomorrow!<…

Was just reminded that I needed to kick in some more money to the BlackSky stuff.
Considering the money I’ve kicked in for great Mastodon clients and instances, the work Rudy and others are doing is well worth the same! https://mastodon.sandwich.net/@Sharksonaplane/114997406…

Amazon have a comedy movie about an armed hostage situation at a wedding, "Bride Hard". And I thought "oh, was this one of those instances where two movies with the same premise somehow went into production at the same time?".
But no, this was announced after the release of "Shotgun Wedding" like they expect it to become a genre.

One of the nice things about Mastodon is being able to filter things out from specific areas.
Things like GoFundMe are allowed in many instances; however, I don't really care to see them, so I filtered them out. The reality is I have enough problems with my family and #veds, and me with #longcovid

Ghost in the friendly and interactive shell (fish):
I removed a `set -x VARNAME ...` line from my fish config.
Spawning a new shell still had that variable.
I ran `set -e VARNAME`. For the current shell, it's gone.
Spawning a new shell again, I got it back. What..?
Okay, so I closed _all the fish instances_.
And the damn env var came back *again*!?!
Looks like that's because it's my login shell.
A fresh login session no longer had it.

Technically every message is rather manipulative.
I think one problem is that admins on topic related instances are likely preferring advocacy groups targeted against another lobby, e. g.

@… thanks.
I'm pragmatic about levels of engagement here and elsewhere.
Looking at other instances' local live feeds, in isolation, was … erm … I'm not sure how to describe the overall experience, but it was worth it.
@ellie@ellieayla.net2025-11-22 03:22:06

I used to run a few generative Twitter bots, all of which are now defunct due to Elon-related API restrictions, focus and audience shifts, etc. I'd like to resurrect a couple, and maybe even ensloppify one with AI (to attract VC $€£) but it appears botsin.space is dead. Any decent botting instances left? Is mastodon.bot alright? Should I just start my own instance, and make my hobby trying to get federated, instead?

Anyone know what this error means? I only see it with Treehouse Mastodon, not any other instances. It's with the official Mastodon iOS app, and it's been occurring for several versions now, whenever I try to browse my Home feed or user profile...

Someone posting on here claiming to be the exec director of Mastodon. Odd, I thought it was a decentralised network of independent instances. Delusions of grandeur?
@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe2026-01-25 18:05:35
@… thanks, I have my shortlist down to two instances.
I currently lean towards beige.party. because whenever I browse its local live feed alongside mas.to, the beige makes me feel better.
Would you like to suggest any other instance?

This message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

Dear @… from what I am gathering from your comments elsewhere is that it is possible to block only the Bluesky part of the ATProto network from being bridged with @… and leave BlackSky and other independent AT instances? Could you go into detail on on a procedure for that? This could be a powerful pro-federation response in addition to making a statement on ICE and Bluesky.
