Currently updating this long list of #Mastodon instances and I have a question for you...

https://coxy.co/mastodon/

I want to keep a listing of instances that existed, but are now inactive.

Right now they are part of the main list, but marked as inactive. Do you think this is okay, or should I make a third table of sites at the end of the page?

gingerrroot,

@matt why does it say beach.city is inactive when it is not?

I'm kinda hoping all the tech bros kettle, and we can cut most of them off with a few well-placed defederations.

Let them eat each other.

gingerrroot,

@Are0h aw, a wholesome family meal

every single streaming or storing device where you can purchase or browse things should have a “dont ever show me this again” button

i dont want certain artists, movies, shows, games to ever be recommended to me by your bad algorithm and there should always be an option for it

why does it have to be said that going on to someones profile and stealing their post word for word and image for image is bad and you shouldnt do that

gingerrroot,

like yeah generally people dont copyright their posts

but that does not give your permission to steal it or be a dick about it

gingerrroot,

if you liked the post, boost it, dont steal it ???

gingerrroot,

however i am pro theft of the image if they didnt describe the image and you will

FediBlock is for blocking people.

#FediBlockMeta is for questions, discussions, anything other than saying “block this person or instance”.

delete and redraft your post or youre spamming a tag intended to be used as a tool.

editing a hashtag does not change the post showing up in the original hashtag you posted.

you have to delete and redraft.

masks:

prevent deadly and disabling diseases,

protect from wildfire smoke and other airborne pollution,

confusing to facial recognition or making it easy to ID someone.

put it on your face, it goes and stays over your nose.

hey, did you know theres a little section on peoples profiles you can add a personal note for yourself?

put a note when you send a follow request, or else you might get blocked for multiple follow requests

gingerrroot, to fediverse

so #lemmy was developed by a fascist

#kbin dude isnt moderating

are we just doomed to repeat fedi everywhere we try?

gingerrroot,

its almost like

good moderation makes good communities

gingerrroot,

its almost like other folks who actually care about people should be the ones moderating communities

gingerrroot,

“its in beta, give him some slack or just fork your own”

no

gingerrroot,

moderating is part of social media

if youre making a social media platform and not moderating

youre not doing your job

i so do not care that its in beta. if youre not prepared to protect the people on your platform this is not the job for you.

stop making things for people if you do not care about people

Due to the ongoing Xbox court case in the US, Microsoft has had to disclose that it is rebuilding home Windows OS to be a cloud streaming subscription service https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/27/23775117/microsoft-windows-11-cloud-consumer-strategy

gingerrroot,

@GossiTheDog this is such garbage

nonprofits are no better than corps and are not the answer to anything

if i were to write another lil blog post

are there any servers who are well-moderated that would not mind a shout out as a recommendation for new users?

even if you require an invite, that's ok--i will simply state that

i'd like to have 5-10 severs suggestions, ranging from general interest to specific interests

gingerrroot, to random

so what federated thing has allow lists, and is it easy for people who know nothing to use?

gingerrroot,

@oliphant i do not know what i mean :)

i know nothing of the technical side of mastodon or what any of it does.

if the phrase "allow list" made you think of this, it likely is something for me to know about--do you have any handy links or have time to say more?

HOLD UP. YOU CAN ONLY ROMANCE PANAM IF YOU'RE A DUDE??

FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

gingerrroot,

my dogs in a yarrow patch in our yard. a medium tan/blonde pit-mix named penelope (5 years old, in our household for three). she is looking at the camera in the foreground, but off to the side of the frame. ross (large black and tan retriever/aus shep mix, 8 years old, in our home a little over a year). he is eating grass in the back-center frame.
