@Skyliting Huzzah! Welcome, Indi! I'm so glad that you're here. I hope you like it here, and if there's anything you need or want, y'all just let me know.

#MastodonSandwich is truly an awesome place to be.

@mariyadelano @thomholwerda @Yup_Its_Holly Heh. The mod "team" for #MastodonSandwich is one person (my spouse). And yes, it is indeed an incredible amount of work, which includes such things as using online translators to try and gain context from hash tags and linked posts which are not in English, just to make sure that he is not allowing hate speech to trend.

Hello, #MastodonSandwich, it's unhappy no-fun poll time!

I'm trying to decide whether to preemptively defederate Meta.

On the one hand, I've defaulted towards open federation; limiting instances only if they host harmful content (never just because I disagree with their approach); and suspending only the worst of the worst.

On the other hand, there are many reasons to expect the worst here. See scicomm.xyz's roll-up post: https://about.scicomm.xyz/doku.php?id=blog:2023:0625_meta_on_the_fediverse_to_block_or_not_to_block

What would you prefer?

EVERYBODY GET IN HERE WE'RE DISCUSSING SANDWICHES :hubwich:

What's the nicest sandwich you've had lately? If you haven't had a sandwich lately, what kind of sandwich would you like?

#AskFedi #MastodonSandwich

@misseli Fixed, sorry about that! #MastodonSandwich was using an older version of the recommended nginx config, which added an overzealous X-Frame-Options header, breaking embeds.

I don't announce most moderation activity, but since this relates to a prominent instance:

I have limited posts from newsie.social due to its administrator tolerating transphobia.

You can still follow accounts there, but their content won't appear in our public timelines. (It's unlikely but possible this could become a complete suspension in the future.)

#MastodonSandwich

Anyone on #MastodonSandwich have some IRC (or other) quotes they'd like to see on @fortune?

Let's see how this looks for a hubwich emote @jrenken #MastodonSandwich

I turned off the @crossposter today. Time to say bye bye, birdie. :birdsite: Toots will stay only on #MastodonSandwich from now on.

Thanks to @renatolond for the helpful tool 👏 It worked great while it lasted.

#MastodonSandwich folks: Sandwich's terms of service are changing slightly. On Jan. 1, 2023, our operations will transfer to our new Canadian corporation. Details: https://sandwich.net/support/

Just your weekly reminder that #MastodonSandwich has an official donkey mascot (totally not fake news, @jrenken agrees, don't bother asking him about it)

@trishalynn Done! The Web view of #MastodonSandwich now places a dashed red border around media that lacks a description. Thanks to @balrogboogie and @FiXato for the CSS: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107854431995239439

@aris_tgd Same! At some point, I want to make the #MastodonSandwich instance info a lot more wordy, to disclose that: I'm a professional, I know what I'm doing, I've covered the bases, I will not abuse your trust, and you most certainly should not trust me with anything important because I am One Guy.

Now that I have a day off, I'm using Debirdify to import more follows (mostly infosec) from my firehose-like birdsite timeline.

https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/

If you're on #MastodonSandwich, this is going to make our federated timeline even busier. I hope you'll find and follow some people with cool, less adversarial hobbies to balance me out!

New #MastodonSandwich peeps, be aware, Sunday is #SandwichSunday so on that day of our Fnord please be ready to post the absolute best thing you have seen all week for the jubilation of all concerned

BEHOLD

The #MastodonSandwich theme song

#SandwichSunday

@jvaneck Official #MastodonSandwich mascot

I've never seen the trends on here on #MastodonSandwich so... hilly. It shows there really is a lot of activity around here right now.

Let's update this one: Just a gentle reminder that if you like cute animal pics, computer science, gardening, painting tabletop figures, nerdy memes, presentations about how not to kill people, and calm, reasonable discussions about the finer points of ethics, #MastodonSandwich could be your next home. 🏡 #FediFriday

Hands up if #MastodonSandwich needs more custom emotes 🖐️
