February is a short month, and unfortunately, much of the Fediverse was attacked this month, leaving many server admins with a costly bill now that the crisis is over.
If you're enjoying your Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Pixelfed, or other platform, perhaps consider making a donation this month.
This past month, as many of you know, the Fediverse was attacked by those who would see harm to come to the Fediverse. These people wanted to disrupt the social media experience, you have come to enjoy
Now that the crisis is over, your local admin of your local Mastodon, Misskey, Sharkey, Pixelfed, and other platforms on the Fediverse are now stuck with the extra bandwidth and data cost
#Bluesky supports #quoteposts, but not listing all known quotes of a post? And you're telling me this is supposed to be the most Twitter-like experience, when this feature has been a staple of #Twitter for many years?
This is worse than not having #hashtags. How tf am I supposed to know if a post got quoted? Even #Misskey supports listing all known quotes FFS! :parsee_angy:
Da mesi non cagavo minimamente #Misskey — e ora non è che la cosa cambierà, nel senso, ormai sono abituata con sto WordPress per diffondere per via internettica i miei dannosi pensieri e andrà bene così — e a quanto pare la nuovissima novità innovativa è che ci sono i #videogiochini ora. Un po’ hanno il sapore di quelli stile Facebook/Telegram, ci sono i punteggi e le classifiche d’istanza; dall’altro lato sono curiosi, perché sono proprio a tema del #software (credo però che per ora non siano espandibili, ci sono quelli dei mantenitori e basta). E sono due, “Bubble Game” e Reversi: il primo sta già causando dipendenza patologica nel #Fediverso, il secondo sembra non filarselo nessuno (forse perché è esclusivamente multiplayer?). 🎰️
This only applies in #Mastodon. #Misskey and its forks like #Sharkey have #fulltextsearch too and they will ignore your "#privacy setting" for every post it has ever seen from you. And IIRC Misskey did implement full-text search way earlier than Mastodon has started debating about it. :sagume_think:
Why did this debate of full-text search arose again? :seija_coffee:
"Over the past week or so there has been a serious spam problem hitting mastodon and rest of the fediverse especially misskey over on the japanese side of things and the story behind it is absolutely wild."
If you are interested in learning more about the #Mastodon spam wave that happened starting on Feb 15, do read @cappy's incident report. Very detailed breakdown.
It’s not a huge deal, but #Mastodon can list four, #Instagram can list 5 (they do not count #Threads which they highlight separately) & #Misskey a zillion! 😂🤣
I have seen the spam affect #Mastodon servers, but I did not know #Misskey servers are also being targeted as well. Also, #Discord seems to be apathetic about this issue which is surprising.
Please update your mastodon instance, or I'm going to #defederate it since you have SEVERE security issues. You claim to be running mastodon v3.2.1, which is quite old (we are at v4.2.7 now)
@fuomag9#QOTO is using their own fork of #Mastodon v3, and they do seem to backport the latest security fixes.
Some people just want to stay with Mastodon v3 just like how there are people who want to stay with #Misskey v10 (which has a still-supported and maintained fork called #Meisskey) :seija_coffee:
There needs to be apps for #iceshrimp, #misskey, #sharkey, #catodon, and any other misskey forks that support reactions and full push notifications on iOS. While the webapp im using on my iceshrimp instance is okay, it cannot be a permanent solution.
Or, it would be great if @IceCubesApp supported push notifications for iceshrimp/misskey forks, but i'm guessing its a server side issue :P
