What I'd like to see in the Fediverse or Mastodon built-in is an user controlled feed like FediAlgo. Chronological feed is nice, but I find myself using the Explore feature a lot and wanting more.

"We want to bring organisations and content creators into the Fediverse, step by step."
Our Foundation co-founder has just published an interesting piece on how we're working to help organisations and content creators find their way to the Fediverse!
For more information on what we plan to do as a charity and how Patchwork, a new service we'll be launching soon, can help π

Organisations and content creators enter the Fediverse
In a Fedicentric world, everything revolves around Mastodon. Mastodon has around 80% of the monthly active users on the Fediverse. Mastodon sets the standard, and is where the action is.Michael Foster (Patchwork Blog)

Posted today: Video overview of massive moderation failure across all #Meta networks filled with criminal activity and abuse.
Yet somehow countless #MastoAdmin folks still think we need to "give them the benefit of the doubt" and "wait and see".
We have seen more than enough abuse to exclude them. For nearly two decades.

I've asked for help with setting up a mastodon server before and gotten nothing.

https://beamship.mpaq.org is getting closer.
@admin is finely starting to get something.
At long last, beamship is LIVE!!! Thank you ALL. It was a DNS resolution error, was using our internal DNS π so, THAT has a problem to... Next problem is the email system.
Update (10-27)
All is working up to the email confirmations. Still not sending messages to confirm new accounts and probably notifications.
EDIT: Interestingly, the same day #Facebook #Threads launches. Hmm... π€
The reason you probably didn't know about it, is because it was only announced* behind a proprietary centralized paywalled garden. (Not Twitter, but the same effect.)
Be ready.
* This is not a recommended way to run an #OpenSource community.
because i see so many articles claiming that itβs impossible to run a social media service and not charge your users or bombard them with ads, but i see preciously few instance admins actually ask for help with costs other than hiding a donation link somewhere you can find it if you go looking. so whatβs the truth?
If we ever aspire to become a serious alternative to corporate platforms we can't continue with this behavior. Let me explain.
Two days ago someone created a "The_Donald" community of a well-known #Lemmy instance. Immediately there were cries for defederation, blocking, and suspicion about the admin letting racists run rampant on his instance.
Ultimately when the admin logged in they removed that community. But before they even had time to realize what was happening they were already being accused of stuff and if any instance heeded the call to block, it would have caused damage to the users who would have their subscriptions / follows severed.
Some users who've just arrived from Reddit and bring a fresh perspective are already wary of the shit show this can become.
That instance resisted massive blocks because it was large enough. But what if it was smaller? >>

tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

in 48 hours the bsd.network instance will defederate from universeodon[.]com because they added full-text search on all posts that their instance saw. If there are other instances that have such things and we still federate with them, let us know and we'll drop them as well.
we have always enabled "do not index" with all posts from our instance, and their full-text search violates that.

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.
Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.
Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instances are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.
#Mastodon #MastoAdmin
If youβre running an instance with containers, theyβll now be available from ghcr.io/mastodon/mastodon.
#mastoadmin
We all know these instances require manual sign-ups to prevent trolls and hate accounts from being created.
This decision is terrible.

In short - enjoy the platform - but consider supporting the admins! The quickest way for this to go away is for servers to disappear!

Capacity dynamically adjusts to increase compute during busy periods and spins down unnecessary compute during idle periods.
This also results in a significant cost reduction---we automatically build up and tear down machines on-demand. π° #mastoadmin
Particularly, I'm referring to an #Akkoma instance, but I wonder if the mechanism is similar for all #ActivityPub servers.

The abuse, excessive reports... folks our instance grew from 60 users to 22000 in the span of two weeks. I didn't expect to suddenly commit 6-8 hours of my day to this. Knowing I have other commitments like a day job and other things.
I'm burning the candle on both ends here. Look at this toot timestamp. Please save space for some patience.
Y'all clearly don't remember this image:
#mastoadmin #mstdnca
When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.
No ads on fedi.

someone on here wants to change the capitalization of their handle
in the past i tried this via the ruby console, but it caused problems where the user in question couldn't be mentioned from other instances easily because it would correct itself to the wrong capitalization
i'm thinking of having the user delete their account, freeing up the handle in the database manually, and then having them recreate it
but i'm afraid of just breaking the account further
does anyone know what would happen

- hagra.net
I believe they are harboring french trolls with everything that it entails, harassment, graphic content, antisemitism, you name it.
