@trumpet please lift the block on @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. It is 100% bidirectional opt-in and this in just vindictive. You know I am of the same opinion wrt Threads too, but Snarfed and Bridgy have done nothing to warrant this. #masto#mas_to
Dis #masto, est-ce que tu as déjà constaté ceci sur un #FP5 sous #Murena /e/ à jour (1.21) : point d'accès wifi activé sur le téléphone, depuis un autre téléphone, la connexion apparait comme "limitée", et pas de navigation web possible. Pareil depuis un ordinateur connecté à l'AP. Comme s'il n'y avait pas de #DNS. Pourtant, depuis l'ordi, un ping vers une IP passe, un ping vers un tld passe aussi. Testé en DNS "auto", Quad9 ou ceux de @franciliens. Une piste ? @Khrys@thouand_e@gael@parinux
@trumpet please stop blocking threads so that I can follow and boost @POTUS
This policy of blocking entire instances simply because you don't like who runs them is silly and detrimental to the Fediverse not to mention our democracy.
Why aren't pictures loading on my timeline any more? I have to click through to see anything, otherwise I just get the blurs. #FediTips#Masto#Mastodon@trumpet
If it wasn't for #Masto I would have no idea that hundreds of thousands of Germans have been protesting against #NaziAFD in towns and cities throughout #Germany
I've only found one report of the protests in the BBC where they fail to mention the scale of the protests. Nothing in the Guardian or Independent.
Is British mainstream media worried about showing how good the Germans are at saying "no" - #AfDVerbot to the extremists, worried the Brits will be out on the streets too?
Heeey #Masto folk! Wondering if you guys can recommend me a good instance I can move to (must support Mastodon and run in Mastodon clients, but doesn't have to be Mastodon).
I find that fosstodon doesn't exactly suit my needs anymore, and I'm also thinking of moving to a much much smaller instance, especially:
The #blizzard outside makes this the perfect day to reorganize my giant #sticker collection! Hopefully these new accessories will help reduce the chaos in my #TrapperKeeper! 😅
Zoom in and let me know what stickers you recognize — I can see some #Masto friends in there already! 🔎 :mastodon: 💗
This might be an unpopular post but so’ll be it: Mastodon is the existing proof that Meta could kill Mastodon any time.
Mastodon was using a protocol compatible with GNU Social: OStatus, but some features were quickly added without consideration for other implementations.
So when per-post privacy were introduced, for example, they were very public on GNU Social, because their devs had no idea this was coming. And GNU Social was blamed for it.
Instead of having more users, GNU Social is now (almost?) dead. Of course it’s not just because of the above. But it wouldn’t have been set back so much without Mastodon.
Now, Mastodon is opensource, has more features and some compatible implementations. I run Pleroma myself. But why would one think Meta could not cripple them both?
#Masto , my 11yo is getting really interested in #graphicdesign . Is there a beginner type iPad app or something similar to help understand some fundamentals and do some beginner projects?
@Linux_Is_Best Looks like I hit a window of availability where I can spin up a second Oracle Always Free VM. The only Debian-like option is unfortunately Ubuntu so I'll spin it up and see where I go. If it works, perhaps I can move my #masto instance to the cloud.
If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation
