Lost my Mastodon instance #footiMac #selfhost for a minute there! I've been playing around with getting the video drivers working for the old Radeon 4000 card to try to accelerate ffmpeg and so that necessitated a restart.
Turns out dnsmasq didn't start before nginx so it…

Well… my mastodon instance isn’t down. That’s something.

I have decided, as a #selfhost with just two other people on my instance, that I'm going to limit threads.net following the example of @… quoted below. I didn't know that you can “unlimit” specific accounts! This is an interesting option.
For other a…

A screenshot from the mastodon admin page for the threads.net domain after it has been “limited” and so appears in the list in the Federated section as a limited account. There are a number of graphs, all clickable, that show stored accounts, stored posts, stored media, their followers here, our followers there, and reports about them.

A screenshot of stonekettle@threads.net account page in the mastodon admin shows his name and profile pic, his posts, and other stats. It is listed as “Limited”
Same screenshot as previous but now there is a green “Successfully undid limit of stonekettle@threads.net” message and the Login status is now “No limits imposed”

President Biden has turned on the Federation option for his Threads account! @potus@threads.net While we have threads.net limited here because of the expectation of poor moderation, his account, as well as a number of others, have been exempted from limiting and can be followed in hear-me.social the same as any Mastodon account. Remember, though, the feature is in beta. It's one way. You can read posts from #Threads accounts, but those accounts cannot yet see replies, nor can they see who f…

Why did no one tell me there was a v4.2.8 update for Mastodon!? I feel so let down.

I don't like to force people to take on more complexity in their lives. We're all maxed out. But that said, if you want to take real control of your experience, inc. defederation, or not, and you consider yourself the least bit comfortable with tech then there *are* excellent, easy, and affordable (like Netflix in the before days :)) ways to #selfhost your own Mastodon.

Zuck is officially here now... gross.
But it also must be said, on a simple level, having the world's largest social media company connect to the Fediverse does validate everything that every ActivityPub, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, _________ insert-fedi-platform-here, developer and user has worked for.

In the last few days I've blocked 9 domains on my #selfhost server. Before that I can't actually remember when I last blocked a domain, six months? Maybe even a year ago when I first installed the instance.
Is there any indication why this surge has happened?

hmmm... anyone having issues with the PHP-sury repository key? It seems to have expired and I haven't been able to convince it to renew or reinstall? Anyone have a procedure? Debian 11/12
