I’ve been offline for a while. Cognitive bias after years of privacy related research. I’m thinking about getting back online. Mastodon looks good because of ActivityPub implementation. But now there are new players, like Threads and BlueSky. I wonder if I'd be wasting time here, if the market leans towards something like AT Protocol. Also, I'm confused about why Meta would launch a product that's not decentralised, but promise it will be in the future. Any input much appreciated. #MastodonNZ

#MastodonNZ should be back to normal, let us know if it seems slow, or any glitches. Thanks everyone.

Hi #MastodonNZ folks, yes we are aware of the site being slow intermittently and dropping out, we are looking into it. Thank you for your patience.

Time for those left-inclining NZ Twitterati to call it a day and fully come over to #MastodonNZ

Was #mastodonnz down?

Is mastodon.nz having issues? No images load for me at all.

#MastodonNZ

@dimsie have you discovered #JukeboxFridayNight yet? @jeremy_pm may confirm its one of the fun #MastodonNZ group activities

#MastodonNZ: regarding the bird makeup discussion https://mastodon.nz/@idanoo/110154369290715186, we are not at this time going to suspend the instance it due to the important accounts that do not yet exist on the Fediverse.

The instance is limited, so unless you follow an account or someone boosts it into your Home timeline, you shouldn't see it.

I just noticed #mastodonnz has a :tinoflag: emoji. Ka pai!

Brena had offered end of last year for the #MastodonNZ monthly image but I had already lined one up... I know she no longer has an account here, but thought I would still put up an image of hers and suggest people check out her website at https://brena.nz

New people signing up see it, and you can see it at https://mastodon.nz/about

I will try and remember to update it again in a Month, I've been a bit slack.

Heads up #MastodonNZ users that drag NSFW stuff into the Fedi timeline, I do go and check who on our instance follows the accounts before dealing with reports 😉

There are other websites for that.

Welcome to any new people here on mastodon dot nz, you'll like it here. Good admins and a great local timeline :laserkiwi: :partyparrot:

#Welcome

Morning #MastodonNZ

Welcome new folks to #MastodonNZ :birdheart:

Wee see you sneaking in... :partyparrot:

Anyone else think the local timeline on mastodon.nz has slowed down a lot?

#MastodonNZ #LocalTimeline

So #MastodonNZ staff may not post a whole lot sometimes, but rest assured things happen behind the scenes even if you don't always know about it... in this case, redirecting an instance scraper to Rick Astley.

I love these peeps @idanoo @explorergrace @zyk @nui @Inquizitif1

#MastodonNZ Anyone watching Space Invaders? It kinda bugs me that they keep referring to the two kids as “having autism” rather than “being autistic “. Also, if I had to live in clutter like that I would be in major burnout constantly! #AskingAutistics

@InayaShujaat sounds like a strong candidate for defederation. Hope #MastodonNZ mods see this and act accordingly. Do you have links to posts that can help expedite the judgment?

Alright, #MastodonNZ: I will start Suspending accounts that do not use #AltText on their images.

You have had more than enough notice, and there is no excuse. It has been in the Rules for longer than most of you have had accounts, and there have been multiple announcements and guides shared.

So if you find you can't log in anymore, check your email and appeal (it is reversible) if you think you can actually manage add AltText.

Likewise for crossposters.
