Apparently Twitter has marked my Mastodon instance, https://hci.social, as “unsafe,” along with most other instances I tried. If he’s going after littler instances like this, it seems increasingly like a vendetta against Mastodon itself instead of some happenstance/accident.

I personally #LOVE the way #HCIsocial is building its own rules and interests without having to follow any established institution. Hence, I would prefer to keep it this way. 🆓

Would like to know what others feel about it!

1k+ active #HCIsocial tooters!!! Wow! You guys are great! Keep chatting! 🎉 #stats

#CommunityNorms suggestion for #HCISocial:

1. Let's use #CommunityNorms to aggregate suggestions for possible norms that we follow as a community here on Mastodon (cc @axz @andrewkuznet @jbigham @andresmh?)

2. Community norm suggestion: if you're tooting about good or bad news about yourself, 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓. It's common practice here on Mastodon. E.g., talking about a paper acceptance or rejection, announcing you won an award, etc. #CW

Damn! Sorry for the huge down period friends. **Mental note:** reserve a static IP for you external facing server instance! 😖 #TechSupport #HCIsocial

@andresmh @barik @wendyju Hello #HCIsocial. The slowness and media attachment issues is very likely because our webserver has been under a lot of stress lately. 🥵 We need to boost its gears up (as we did for the DB server yesterday.) Soooo: time to put your devices down for some minutes while we reboot things. 🥺

Aaaaand we should be back! #TechSupport #alert #HCIsocial

Here we go: We may experience some hiccups soon as I am going to pump our DB server up! See you on the other side!!! 🙄 #HCIsocial #TechSupport #alert

@andresmh Thanks for bringing that up! Looks like our DB server is struggling with memory issues! 🤕 I will give it a bust **later tonight** as it will need a quick restart. 🤞 Will ping here 10min before I do it. #HCIsocial #TechSupport #alert

Our server has just beaten the 10Gb of data ingestion in a day! You guys are hungry!!! 😜 #HCIsocial #FunFact

@andresmh @alarith @YuhanLiu Yeah. There are many configurations possible, like restricting what servers we want to be federated to. I am still looking into such tweaks, but I think cutting federation may be problematic for those who are using their #HCIsocial account as their main one. That would make the #fed stream a little more useful, though.
