Hello. I've just set a up a new instance that will (hopefully) be focused on the #solarpunk and sp-adjacent movements. This includes...

#Ecology
Social #Anarchism + #Anticapitalism
#Intersectionality

..amongst other things. Registration is open and I would love for you to join! Although I don't plan on the server growing very much, I think it will provide a much-needed niche for the Fediverse. Feedback is welcome.

PS I'll still be active on the other instances I frequent.

SUMMARY: #adblockers are often super shady, and two of the few trustworthy ones are uBlock Origin and #Firefox Focus.

call me a pleb but I want my F/LOSS software to look like a actual graphic designer was involved at some point

A lot of F/LOSS stuff looks like nobody involved has ever been within 20 feet of a graphic designer.

I can't use your text editor if my eyes are bleeding (looking at you Notepad++)

mastodon has never been implemented

@MutoShack this is close, but you made a small mistake since that isn't actually pikachu. this is pikachu:

.

... be distracting Daleks for you.

#MastoDev chop talk.

We could use some help with these:

Limit characters in bio fields #7303
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/7303

Admins need power to opt back into viewing ALL toots #7304
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/7304

Federated report shows up on remote instance as being from local admin #6994
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/6994

Big exciting social.coop stuff: @CobaltVelvet of hosting service #Maastodon needs to share the workload, is interested in making it a cooperative/transferring responsibility to us!

Share thoughts: https://www.loomio.org/d/jgGJ8ucA/proposal-to-take-over-a-mastodon-hosting-service-hosting-external-instances-but-also-to-enable-the-creation-of-thematic-sister-coop-instances

There is also a planned group chat, weigh in on what time is best for you: https://www.loomio.org/p/0k8ROFnX

If you are not a member but would be interested in joining a co-op tech team, consider getting involved! Please boost for visibility~

In awe at the size of this lad I found in my pictures. An absolute unit.

oh, here's some i forgot!

- negativity
- unasked-for advice
- selfies
- eye contact with viewer
- spoilers

hey! here's some stuff you should cw (that means click the lil CW button down there when you're posting about these!)

- lewd stuff
- kinks
- politics
- long posts
- and anything else you might want to give people the option of not seeing if they're not feeling up to it!

this is a good idea if you wanna "fit in" to mastodon better, and people (including me) will really really appreciate you for doing it!
thanks!

here, we commonly use short hand for cws!
here's some common ones:
"-" means negativity
"+" means positivity
"~" means a neutral level of negativity or positivity, or that the poster is unsure
"mh" means mental health!
"pda" means public display of affection
"birdsite" means twitter
that should be most of them, feel free to reply if you know any other ones!

Thanks to @nightpool for this #mastoadmin tip:

When witches.town goes down in the next few days, you may notice Mastodon running more slowly, as Sidekiq workers try to contact it and have to wait for the request to time out before they can move on to the next job.

To handle this, AFTER w.t goes down, log into your server on the back end, run `redis-cli`, and enter:

sadd unavailable_inboxes https://witches.town/inbox

This tells Mastodon not to bother trying to talk to witches.town.
