Welp, it's been over a month since anyone interacted with this account, and it's a pain to come in and manually post on spoiler days, so after 4+ years of posting every day, I'm going to shut down for a while. Ping me if you know of a way to automate posts with content warnings. Or maybe somebody could help me make a Discord bot instead, since that seems to be where most of the action is lately.

@WOTCalendar How do your automated posts normally post? Are you utilizing the Mastodon API? Or still utilizing a post scheduler somewhere?

Mastodon v4.2.8 has just been released.

On this release Mastodon changes the default registration mode to being closed. Meaning that if you have never changed the registration mode for your server, it will be closed by default.

Also, it introduces a feature that will "automatically require approval for new registrations in the absence of moderators". Meaning that if no user with moderation permission has accessed the server in one week, the registration mode changes to require manual approval.

I've honestly never seen so many people get upset over someone using a hashtag incorrectly ONE TIME!

Like, do you folks understand that we're all human and make mistakes, and those of you who report/limit people for using the wrong hashtag are human just like the person who used the wrong hashtag?

Like come on folks. You're supposed to be grown. Some of you are even admins/co-admins/mods of servers. Truly this isn't setting a get example, is it?

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cliffwade What was the hashtag?

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cliffwade Ah, of course. People are especially sensitive to that one being misused just because it happens so often.

Of course, the misuse as a part of complaining about misuse is somewhat ironic.

Since the beginning of the recent spam attack https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/111953045633249137, I have been monitoring Masto.host and, when possible, taking action to mitigate the effects of this attack.

All actions I made should have minimal impact. Still, in cases where that was not so I have communicated those actions to the admins. So, if you have not received my email, no action was taken on your server.

we're probably all on the same page, but I really hope that the spam prevention measures we develop going forward don't come at the cost of individuals being able to self-host small instances

We're dealing with similar problems as email did in the past. Attempts to curtail email spam wound up with the worst of both worlds - a defacto inability to self host and large amounts of spam

With some ingenuity and work I think it's possible to create a system that is both secure and open

@skotchygut @michael
Just to be clear, are you commenting on your experience with running a personal instance in general? Or do you believe these things are related to the spam wave?

@Alice If one needs to kick a single foot out from under the blanket and off the side of the bed is the tent side flexible enough to allow that comfortably?

Been trying this out secretly for the past few weeks — a "catch-up" timeline page. Did whole bunch of iterations, where I myself is the guinea pig, but this time reaching a point where I just got to share it out in the public.

  • NOT final design, still very experimental, only on my local machine
  • Instead of algo timeline, this is focused on data-grid-like UI for configuring exactly what I want to see.
  • This honestly could be another full-fledged app/client by itself 🫠

Demo of Catch-up page where it shows the Home/Following timeline with configurable filters and sort options.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cheeaun Very cool looking. I remember that there was an Android client that was working on a similar view, showing authors first with a badge to indicate posts, then clicking through to view only those posts.

This looks really good on a full desktop. Love the quick toggle sorting and filtering options.
