Hey everyone,

@aral and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Namer12 (@namerqasem12)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

One highlight of the new Masto #update many people missed:

You can now even add Alt-Text to your profile & banner images!

A feature only very few apps have!

#Claude Code CLI Source is now public.

A misconfig .map file in their #npm package exposed a direct download link to the full unobfuscated #TypeScript codebase from #Anthropic’s own R2 bucket.

The dump is massive 1,900 files, including the complete tool system, 50+ slash commands, coordinator, Terminal UI, IDE bridge, permission engine, & unreleased features.

Added Mastodon to my IRC client so I could see my home feed on my second screen during the day. Hashtags are channels, etc. wiki.bitlbee.org/HowtoMastodon

👋 Hello, I'm looking into managed mastodon hosting services. I know about masto.host & have reached out to joinmastodon.org as well.

Do you know of any other mastodon hosting services? Aside from hosting itself, we will need help in migrating.

#askmasto #askmastodon #askfedi #boost #mastodon #hosting

It would be good if nyt_diff (Editing TheGrayLady), which documents changes in headlines and article text was on

#Mastodon

Ny på Masto? Osäker på hur du kommer igång? Ingen fara. Det finns en wiki för det.

wiki.konstellationen.org/sv/gu…

#mastodon

It's funny how some people say they joined because our instance is Finnish. It's true that I'm Finnish and our servers are located in Finland, but we don't promote ourselves as a Finnish instance, nor are we otherwise tied to Finland.

English is my second and quite dominant language, and half of my family tree is Australian. In short, all cultures and languages are welcome here.

Languages currently used on mementomori.social:

1. Finnish
2. English
3. French
4. Swedish
5. German
6. Korean
7. Dutch
8. Catalan
9. Japanese

Pretty cool, I can find my province on #Mastodon!

After receiving the news, I was devastated… I can't imagine losing my leg 💔 and living in such harsh conditions.

I suffered a severe leg injury, including a fractured femur, extensive tissue damage, and nerve damage with limited sensation and mobility. Tests revealed shrapnel inside my leg and a metal plate extending from my pelvis to my left knee with a significant fixation error. This requires urgent surgery to avoid amputation.

The pain is unbearable, and the hospital told me I need the operation within 10 days, or I may lose my leg 💔
🙏 $100 has been raised out of $600.
$500 remains.
I am the sole provider for my family… Please don't abandon me 💔
Your donation or even sharing this post could save my leg 🙏😭

I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect

I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse

But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)

Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats

Side by side comparison. I particularly like the more compact design of custom fields.

#mastodon #fediverse #design #UXUI

My verdict currently:

Compactness 👍
Logic changes and toggles 👎

I've been preferring the "show all at once with the least clicks" approach on my UI. I really don't know what was wrong with the old sidebar hashtag approach.

#Mastodon #MastodonUI #MastoAdmin

Some nice updates coming to Mastodon profiles!

"We want people who are new to Mastodon and the Fediverse to be able to discover and connect with interesting accounts, without having to understand the details of decentralisation."

Already available on mastodon.social, and other servers running the latest code.

Det er velkendt her på gode #Mastodon at #meta er vanedannende. Noget #danmarkskifter.dk også lagde vægt på.

Det jeg synes der kunne være interessant at få belyst på nationalplan er, hvad den enkelte mener der skal til for at give slip på #Facebook eller det der gør, at de har brug for at blive der.

Stiller spørgsmålet fordi jeg antager, at nogen (læs: ikke alle) virker til at være pænt ligeglade med hvordan Meta opfører sig. De trækker bare på skulderen og siger mediet er nemt at bruge.

Men er der mon slet ingen moralsk grænse?

Det er det, jeg finder interessant og skræmmende.

(Although remember that nothing is private on Mastodon. Your private mentions/direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted so your instance admins – and anyone hosting a hammer to their knees – could be reading them all. If you want to talk privately, use Signal or Delta Chat. Never share sensitive information on “private” messages on Mastodon. That goes double for our friends in Gaza.)

#mastodon #fediverse #activityPub #privacy #encryption

A message especially for my Canadian male followers out there today, but it applies to all.

If you see a story from a woman calling out the behaviour of a man, believe them. Yes, believe them over the 'bro’, especially when there are multiple corroborating stories.

Don’t feign impartiality.
Don't ignore.
Just believe them, it's not that hard.
It's long past time we do this as the default.
It will make us all better in the long run.

That is all.

don't even think about it once. instead think about leaving those fascist appeasing, data collecting, oligarchic meta apps

join #pixelfed instead of insta
#mastodon instead of threads
signal or some privacy respecting app instead of whatsapp

I still think we need to plan a day for a mass exodus from facebook to friendica so all of the good💙 people will be able to find each other again, w/o losing touch. leave the maga fascists on fb

You know you picked a good hosting service when they bother to tell you about 15 *seconds* of downtime:
mastodon.social/@mastohost/116…

I had providers w/ a 4 9's SLA who gave us worse service, & wouldn't have bothered to tell us about even 15 MINUTES of downtime, because we had to file 4 pages of paperwork to get the US$100 we'd be entitled to under the SLA.

And, last I checked, @mastohost complies with #AGPLv3!

If you're running out of time for your own instance, check them out.

I will be applying a patch to the Mastodon code on all Masto.host instances to mitigate an increased number of errors from object storage when instances are under heavy load: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…

This will require restarting services, causing approximately 15 seconds of downtime.

@Jerry Curious if there’s a plan to monetize #Bluesky you are aware of? Two points to accent your post:

- criticism on #Mastodon initially feels like smearing a rival platform first, investigative reporting second. (Feel free to push back on that, it’s just the vibe I get when I read these articles)

- bureaucracy is an issue with brand communication. This MAY be what Bluesky is encountering because the United States needs to have a serious conversation about the illusion of brand

RE: mastodon.social/@Gargron/11623…

10 years of #Mastodon! Amazing to think of how far it has come!

Congrats to @Gargron , of course, but also to everyone who has participated in making Mastodon and the broader Fediverse the amazing place it is today!

Yea for open source, for open standards, for decentralization, for user choice, for accessibility, and for enabling communities to form! Looking forward to the next 10 years!
