Happy Hanukkah to all beginning their celebrations today!

I like making my Mastodon fork behave exactly the way I want. One feature I miss from other platforms is videos that autoplay and loop muted. I'm going to implement that in my fork, just like on those other platforms. It will respect the system-wide reduce motion setting.

My goal is to keep Mastodon core as close to vanilla as possible and not overload it with features like glitch-soc, just improve the things I want, both in UI and functionality.

Being a MastoAdmin is nice, you get to build your own tools and learn new things.

All current Mementomori.social features can be found here: help.mementomori.social/mement…

So, is it getting quieter here in the #Fediverse; is it even dying?
That I don't know, but I can add some data: At least for @heiseonline it seems to be the opposite; the number of comments and likes keeps on growing.

FrontRange.co is a Mastodon server for anyone who values kindness and inclusivity. The server is named after the Front Range region of North America, but is not just for people from there.

This server has a post size of up to 1500 characters.

Frontrange.co - Colorado

For anyone who values kindness and inclusivity. Named for those who live in the Front Range of the Rockies, and also those who wish they could :)

Just the other day I was thinking how much the presence of POC are missed on this platform. And then I scroll the comments of a post talking about systemic oppression and I'm reminded why #Mastodon is 99% white.

How is it that so many of you are expert coders but haven't read a single book by an activist? How is it that you haven't accidentally come across even a quote to spark curiosity?

This is especially concerning for Americans. We're facing fascism and still at "I don't see color"

Je sais que c'est pas nouveau, mais #Mastodon, c'est quand-même vraiment pas le tip-top de la sobriété numérique. 😬

Genre, pour une instance à trois comptes et deux utilisateurs, et en faisant le ménage régulièrement :

As we're working on Collections (an upcoming feature similar to "starter packs"), and improvements to the design of user profiles, we would like to hear from you!

Please use our - short & anonymous! - User Experience Survey to share your thoughts.

I just donated to the fediverse instance I use, mastoart.social. In an otherwise rapidly enshittifing online space decentralized social media needs your support. If you are able, please consider donating to your instance! Thanks so much @bestiaexmachina & @Kitty for allowing me to use your instance & happy whatever y'all celebrate at this time of year!

Camp.smolnet.org a general Mastodon server, part of an initiative from a group of friends who share a certain weariness of huge internet services that exploit their users. This server has a love for openness, the internet, and pangolins. We hope you enjoy it. We are based in Sweden and so are most of our current users.

#Enshittification #Facebook #Mastodon #Fediverse #Interoperability

Eigentlich will man nur noch schreien. Anschreien die Verantwortlichen in Politik, Medien und Institutionen, endlich von solchen toxischen, destruktiven Plattformen wie #X zu verschwinden und stattdessen freie, dezentrale Alternativen wie #Mastodon aktiv zu nutzen und zu bewerben – statt weiterhin Strukturen zu stärken, die öffentliche Debatten verrohen lässt und demokratische Prozesse untergraben.

Just arrived on our store: New soft enamel pins featuring the #Mastodon logo. This time, they have a copper finish. However! I have to warn you there will be another enamel pin design up on the store this week, so if there's any chance you might want an alternative design or both, you may want to hold off on making orders for now to save on shipping.

If you're recommending Mastodon and the wider Fediverse to organisations, friends, family or colleagues, don't worry if they say no. You have done something really important simply by making them aware of it as an option.

Most people and organisations don't immediately try stuff they hear about. Usually they need to hear it mentioned by a few different sources before they actually try it.

By being one of those sources, you're nudging them closer to actually trying it 👍

Mastodon Bird UI support for Mastodon v4.6.0 with CSS properties is coming soon. The theme will also be modularized using SCSS partials to match Mastodon's new style infrastructure.

The build process will include npm scripts and Parcel, making the theme ultra-portable for any Mastodon instance, whether added through the Custom CSS textarea or directly by a Mastodon admin.

I'll also create a simple bash script for Mastodon admins to enable the theme as a selectable option more easily than the current fork-and-cut method.

This is no easy feat, but definitely worth it.

Progress in the nightly branch.

Letzte Woche hat sich eine Landeshauptstadt von Mastodon verabschiedet. Der Grund? Man wollte sich auf Plattformen mit mehr Follower:innen und Likes konzentrieren.

Das nehmen wir zum Anlass, hier einmal unseren wunderbaren Präsident:innen und Direktor:innen unserer #Gerichte in #SchleswigHolstein zu danken! Denn die lassen unsere Redaktion nicht nur frei schalten und walten – sie fordern sogar von uns einen Mastodon-Auftritt als datensparsame Alternative ein! #FediFirst #DSGVO #Mastodon #Justiz

Wir starten heute wieder mit unserem jährlichen #Adventskalender mit Themen zu Digitalisierung und Weiterbildung. Jeden Tag tröten wir einen neuen Link oder Hinweis.

Unser Schwerpunkt in Social Media liegt im #Fediverse auf unserem eigenen #Mastodon Server unter social.laaw.nrw

Der Server steht auch Mitarbeitenden aus Mitgliedseinrichtungen der #LAAW.nrw zur Verfügung.

Das Social Media Netzwerk Fediverse wird hier in vier Minuten erklärt bei digitalcourage.

go.laaw.nrw/4k

really, really impressed with posty: a mastodon archive -> html static site generator

it ingests your mastodon archive (post history) as a zip, and barfs out an entire static html site with indices and tags. all servable with any standard web server.

this is super helpful because when i shut down the dialup.cafe instance, there was no easy way to get access to my old posts and images.

it can either be run online here:
posty.1sland.social

or instructions here for running it locally:
