i don't care when i edit a post. i know it will notify everyone. but they just get to see my fucking awesome toot again.

I’m not entirely sure how the federated timeline works behind the scenes, but I’m willing to bet the changes in content are from someone on this instance with the exact opposite interests as me. In fact, it’s becoming a bit annoying having to tweak filters at least once daily, and I’m starting to wonder whether there’s an alternative to discovering new users, topics and hashtags. #mastodon #mastometa

is there a mastodon client that’s made to be listened to idly or is this a niche i should try and fill

#mastodon #mastometa

@andrewjbtw Even more annoying for me is that the self-search for tagged posts, e.g. https://mamot.fr/@nemobis/tagged/copyright unconditionally excludes public replies, in addition to any unlisted posts. I need to grep my account export to find my own posts, or use something like #MastodonArchive. https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/mastodon-archive/about/

Welcome, new followers! It's a joy to have you here 💖
Here's your occasional reminder that this is a #HighBoostAccount!
If you’d like to follow people who boost a bunch but only want to see their original content, you can change that setting on a per-account basis: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/
That said, if you’re a new user, following folks in the #HighBoostGang can be a great way to discover new profiles and learn about communities.

I can't be the only one who sometimes selects an image for a toot, and then reconsiders and select another? So I don't understand why images are uploaded upon selection, and not on publishing? Seems like a waste of bandwidth to me, or am I missing something? #MastoMeta

What happened when I emailed 3000 #Mastodon admins about a critical vulnerability

@mastodonusercount This is the new local peak in weekly #Mastodon registrations, 423k in the week leading to 2023-07-08.

I'm not sure whether it includes the "fake" instance daystorm.netz.org, which currently has 396k accounts with 20 posts.

Mastodon is a public microblogging space. Dont treat it as a social network or anything else...

RT @Bloonface: And now, to complete the set, please read my infosec blog. This one doesn't go to Never Gonna Give You Up. You may wish it did.

The fediverse is a privacy nightmare, completely independent of anything Meta might or might not do with it, and nobody seems to really want to engage with that.

I knew that #Mastodon is big in #Japan but mstdn.jp activity figures are wild.

Since November it's stable around 400k registered users, most of which go inactive for months at a time. But in the past 4 days, 200k of them returned active. That would account for half of the increase in MAU as measured by @fediverse.

Is this just the effect of word of mouth off-fediverse?

(A local stats glitch is possible. Cf. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25700 .)

@kefir Agreed! #MastoMeta

@neil #AuthorizedFetch does nothing to protect from the dissemination of personal data in at least two very common cases:

Does anyone else have a lot of trouble going on mastodon if they have any other social media on their phone?

IG and TikTok are just so much more stimulating that I have to delete them off my phone occasionally and then I can spend a little more time on here.

@deejoe Alternatively: a honey pot.

@erion @michael Well said. I opened https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25023 in the #Mastodon issue tracker. Looks like the plan is to *not* release #hCaptcha support. Better ideas needed!

Multiple filter lists provide better context of the post, without having to read it.

As it is tedious to do so using Mastodon's GUI, I made a command-line tool and manage the lists as text files.

Is there a browser (Firefox) plugin for the Mastodon API / Web interface that will let me select words and add them to filter lists?
