#Mastodon monthly user base has dropped below 1M. Sucks but we didn't need clout chasers who needed an algorithm what to think here anyway. #fediverse #Bluesky has quadrupled since early this year.

Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.
They deleted two of Geri’s posts.
Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.
Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

C'est une bonne nouvelle de vous voir ici mais il faut aussi se conformer aux usages.

Speaking about #decentralization and Mastodon, does Mastodon official client onboarding flow still promote the "mastodon.social" or other single server as default option instead of rotating/randomizing across the list of known servers with option to type server manually? Without this #Mastodon will have to "block Missisipi" too eventually.
Yes, I referring to that decision of #Bluesky to block access to bluesky web UI from IP addresses in Missisipi US state due age-check laws adopted there.

🚀1 year since we left #X / #Twitter
Our move to #Mastodon wasn't just a platform switch. It was a leap into #OpenScience in action.
We found a chance to align our communication w/ our values: transparent, meaningful, dialogue-driven.
Read about our journey, impact, challenges, and lessons:

💜Thanks, 🦣-community, for this wonderful experience. We learn a lot here.
👋We hope to encourage other academic institutions to join.

By popular demand, a single post to boost global switch day across multiple platforms on February 1st 2025.
For those who can no longer get behind Musk or Meta's new policies and feel like switching (e.g. from #Whatsapp to #Signal, from #Instagram to #Pixelfed or from #X to #Mastodon) I made you some graphics to use freely in communicating with your contacts.
Let’s lead by example 🙂
Good news :)
The European Commission @EUCommission now lists #Mastodon as first social media channel in their page footer [1] (The Twitter/X logo is now gone ;). And on the EU website you can now filter for Mastodon social media accounts [2].

When we released post editing for #Mastodon, we first released a version that supported processing and displaying edits incoming from other servers, before releasing a version that flipped a switch allowing anyone to make edits. We're taking an identical approach with quote posts, as the upcoming 4.4 version of Mastodon will begin displaying quote posts from other servers and software. Once this is widely deployed on the network, 4.5 will bring the long awaited ability to quote posts.
There is a new tool called Splinter which makes it easier to create Mastodon threads. You enter the full text and it splits it up and posts it as a thread automatically (it also has options for manual splitting).
More info in the announcement post at:
➡️ https://social.hastily.cc/@neiman/114591328088507928
The Splinter tool itself is at:
➡️ https://splinter.hastily.cc
Techy people can self-host Splinter if they prefer, the source code is at https://codeberg.org/neiman/splinter and its author is @neiman

J'avais vu passer une critique de BlueSky sur l'aspect données personnelles collectées (notamment par l'appli), ça vous dit un truc ?
Does anyone know of alternative styles for the default web app when "advanced web interface" mode is activated with v4.3.x - it's too wide (mainly the "getting started" column has problems wrapping...) and typo too large for me.
PS: my question is not about using other interfaces such as Trunks or Elk or...

#Mastodon we have a problem with link embedding bypassing control mechanisms for exposure to shit, and showing unsollicited pictures (say, of a real bastard making a nazi gesture), without the possibility to filter that out a priori (unless people who post these links realize by themselves this displays the picture and use a CW -- but they may not be aware of this when they post, as it takes time for the embedding to show up after a post).
Yesterday I had to remove a link from one of my toots after realizing a posteriori what the embedding was showing.

🥳 Announcing Splinter, your #fediverse tool for creating #Mastodon threads.
Splinter is a simple, self-explanatory app. It's a fun, non-profit, open-source side project.
I use Splinter all the time myself now; There must be others who need it. Please share to help them find it!
