Hey folks, if you're seeing a lot of extra load on your webservers, it might be users running @MonaApp on macOS. I'm seeing considerably more load from just me running the app from desktop.

I honestly have to disagree with this. I have been on Bluesky for a little while now and haven’t really found it to be as fun, engaging, or active as I have here. It is a whole different experience and world over there. I try to post over there and it’s crickets 🦗. Not having the ability of hashtags really makes things worse IMO. https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/110299404951833352

I’m curious as to what @cliffwade thinks about these Pixel fold images. Me, I think they look ugly and I love the Pixel. https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/110299278519254402

Today is Game 1 between the #SeaKraken and the #DallasStars. Looking forward to seeing how this series plays out especially since our server admins (myself and @cliffwade) have a rivalry going on here.

Good morning and happy Tuesday all you beautiful people of the #FediVerse!

Let’s relax a moment and grab a #KoffeeWithKyle and discuss what we have planned for the day or have already accomplished. Let us know in the comments below 👇🏼.

For me, it’ll just be a regular day nothing exciting. After that will be relaxing and show, unless and wife has other plans.

1. It's been my observation that in general terms there are three moderation styles on Mastodon:

🔥 Wild West: Anything goes.

☯️ Balanced: Give users a wide berth but bans extreme content and mandate content warnings for suggestive material.

🪂 Safe Space: Tightly moderated, ban extreme content, ban aggressive content, ban pornography, require content warnings for all suggestive/adult material and language.

Should there be other categories?

Anyone have an extra #BlueSky invite?

Aryanpro, 1 year ago to random

@cliffwade I have started to recommend @novalauncher to almost all of my friends, and there is one and only one reason for it, its accessibility . me and my friends are liking it a lot especially also because it doesn't have add even in the free version and my friends are using it without prime but they are still happy with it and I have prime

Remember to be nice to everyone. Even when they are not nice to you. You never know what someone might be going through at that moment

Quote retweets, or should I say quote posts, are finally coming to Mastodon?

I got used to post on social media without this feature, but it's quite positive.

There's a lot of misinformation circulating that obscures or softens Jack Dorsey's relationship to Bluesky, Bluesky to Twitter, &/or Dorsey to Musk/Twitter.

On Dec 11, 2019, Dorsey announced on Twitter that he'd started Bluesky as part of Twitter, to serve Twitter, & funded by Twitter $, "to develop an open & decentralized standard for social media." (One already existed. Clearly the goal was one he controlled.)

"The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this [Bluesky] standard."

"But the standard Twitter app isn’t the only platform whose future Musk now controls. Over the past three years, Twitter Inc. has also been funding a decentralized social networking project called Bluesky — and it finally seems close to bearing fruit. But under Twitter’s new leadership, with its original champions gone, its future prospects seem shaky. Bluesky was launched under Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey’s leadership back in 2019, and its initial manager was Parag Agrawal, then Twitter’s CTO and later Dorsey’s replacement. The goal was to build a decentralized social network protocol that could eventually hook into Twitter — making it interoperable with other networks unrelated to the company. To maintain independence from Twitter as a business, Bluesky was set up as an independent entity producing nonproprietary open-source work — even as it was funded by Twitter. Bluesky was formally organized as a public benefit LLC led by software engineer Jay Graber in late 2021, and as of April, it had received $13 million from Twitter."
"Bluesky has always seemed like a quirky pet cause of Jack Dorsey, and that impression has only gotten stronger over time. Dorsey imagined decentralization as a way to sidestep increasingly bitter content moderation debates among law- and policy-makers. Decentralized social networking protocols like ActivityPub (which powers Mastodon) already existed, and to the extent Bluesky has a unique vision, it reflects ideas like Dorsey’s love of “algorithmic choice” or competing social media moderation algorithms. He told Musk in a"
["Before Musk reluctantly bought Twitter, former CEO Jack Dorsey funded and spun off Bluesky, a public benefit company tasked with building an open-source, decentralized social media protocol that he wanted Twitter itself to eventually operate on. Bluesky remains invite only to access but is now starting to let in more users. After setting up my account recently, wanted to talk with CEO Jay Graber. She agreed to answer some of my questions this week for what I believe is her first interview since she joined to lead the project in August 2021."

re-#introduction

meow is a tool that lets you read and search your old posts, even after you delete them from your profile or switch instances! all you have to do is export them through mastodon's preferences, then open the archive at https://purr.neocities.org (all your data is processed locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded).

in addition to showing your posts, favorites, boosts and bookmarks, it can show you some statistics, e. g. which day of the week you're usually the most active!

I STILL have a spreadsheet full of #Steam #game keys (all legit!) and giving them away isn't just for Christmas any more.

I'm NOT doing this to get new followers. You DON'T need to follow me to get a key. This is about generosity when the world could really use some. The only thing I'd ask you to follow is the Wheaton rule: "Don't be a dick".

11/07/23: Still going. 135 games given away so far.

To avoid keyfarmers and resellers, I have some guidelines, though.

1. No new accounts. Sorry. You've got to have been here on Mastodon & obviously human; ie. no keyfarmers (If I don't know you, I'm checking profiles).

2. One game per person, but please pick your top three preferred games that you want to play.

2a. "When can I ask for another key?" - Consider the counter reset, 2 months between asks.

3. First in, first served. If your first preference is gone by the time I get to you, that's why there's a 2nd & 3rd preference.

4. DM me with up to three games (in case your first choice is gone), with game number AND name, in order of preference (my DMs are open)

Green: My keys
Blue: Keys donated by @McCovican.
Orange: Keys donated by @tojosan

Game listed multiple times = multiple keys.

We've given away 127 games now, and I'm still adding new keys.

If you don't mind boosting this post; this is my small way of trying to make the world & Mastodon a nicer place to be.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Thanks to anyone who can do this. It is really appreciated! This server is small but will be hosting several #peace #SocialJustice and #Humanistic groups, so it is for a good cause.
