MASTODON BEGINNER USER GUIDE:

write things and toot them

Latinx Geeks also has two main hashtags which will hopefully find their way into Tooter as well
#InvisibleLatinx and #LatinxsinSpace

More reasons to switch
• Emoji: Flagship has a few custom emoji, but many instances have their own unique set, and sometimes it's quite large!
• Rules: The mastodon.social moderator team is pretty top notch and their rules are pretty reasonable, but maybe you want something more restrictive, or less restrictive.

Plenty of people are advertising instances to switch to, but why should you switch? Here are some reasons:
• Community: Some focus on a certain topic. With those, the "local" timeline is useful to talk about that topic.
• Theme: Some have custom theming or language tweaks that might be fun.
• Performance: Flagship mastodon.social is slow sometimes! Even if you don't notice it might be taking a while for your statuses to propagate.
• Tweaks: Some have extra customizations, like the doodle pad.

Is there a thing that collects hashtag search results from, say, every instance known to instances.social (or any other large-ish list)?

Otherwise sharing links to hashtag-y things with none-mastodon people is often either "here's mastodon social, i'd rather not always link to that, but it knows the most toots" or "here are 5 links to the results on some smaller instances, please click them all"

The blogosphere suddenly became aware of the existence of Intel ME "spying at you" to paraphrase some catchy titles. If some authors seem to discover that technology, the truth is it is here for almost 10 years!

So, in order for you to make your own educated opinion, I tried to summarize the facts concerning Intel ME and the current state of the community knowledge about that technology.

Lets decentralize a little.

new folks:

please remember to make heavy use of CWs

they are there because they are useful to reduce harm for folks

instead of being forced to read a post in order to determine if they want to interact with its contents or not (which is not a choice), you can know what the post is about and choose whether it's worth engaging that or not

PSA for fellow Mastodon instance administrators:

I have found an account tenforward.social scraping accounts. The account is now suspended.

I recommend keeping an eye on your nginx logs and new account creations for such behaviour.

I want mastodon to have a timed mute feature.

Hello witches. I've finally opened my shop.

Progress report on the Mastodon Light Theme:

https://icosahedron.website/media/1vYdj3yQ6cwMVadEb-g

It looks like it's pretty okay so far, but I'm gonna need a bit of testing round on this to make sure it's fine.

Anyone willing to beta test this? I can publish the theme real quick on Github.
