Have you ever noticed #BigTech "shadow banning" open and free platforms like #mastodon? Billionaires and Oppressive Governments benefit from 3 rich dudes controlling the narrative. Corporate powers will never willingly move to the #fediverse.
If a single Mastodon instance had wide spread #CSAM and non-consensual #AI slop porn like the recent #twitter scandal #Apple and #Google would disable downloads instantly.
I've had requests for accounts to follow on here for specific countries/regions. There are many listed at:
➡️ https://fedi.directory/local-and-regional
This has accounts from most European countries, all US states, all Canadian provinces etc. (Some have fewer accounts than others though.)
To follow an account listed on the site, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click follow.
To find out more about an account on the site, click its Fediverse address.
Running Mastodon on FreeBSD? Stop using wrapper scripts that break service status.
I've refactored the init scripts for Sidekiq, Puma, and Streaming to be fully production-grade:
- Clean privilege dropping (no su wrappers)
- Native signal handling for log rotation
- Correct PID tracking & status reporting.
I published the scripts and the reasoning behind them in my Codeberg gists:
https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/gists/src/branch/main/2026/20250115-FreeBSD_Mastodon_rc.d.md
I use those to run a Mastodon instance and they're working great so far!

Aż mi się łezka w oku zakręciła. To już 5 lat będzie "oficjalnie" z #Mastodon, a nieoficjalnie trochę więcej. Później był pol.social, a teraz ... no szkoda tego półsociala.

After the nice presentations of @haubles and @andypiper, I've asked them, "How can a grassroots movement like the Fediverse compete with social networks like BlueSky that have the resources to travel to Brussels every other week?"
I also mentioned the @leavex campaign, which makes it easier for us to contact politicians and ask them to leave X and possibly join us. And how some politicians are already asking to remove their names from the group of politicians still on X.
I'm glad I could meet @_elena again and discuss these issues.
I just updated Infinite Ink's “Don’t Give Up💓 (featuring PeerTube videos)”

Are there any good alternative mastodon-clients to mona and tweesecake, which are both screen-reader accessible and work on mac?
I know enafore is a thing, but I don't like that one very much, due to it being browser-based and very limited in its features.

The #US has "Truth Social" (build on Mastodon code) kinda as it's "official social media"
And #Europe has it's own #Mastodon instance in the #Fediverse
I know what I'd prefer!
RE: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/115415146417702654
After looking at this, got curious to know the limits in most servers.
So I did a little data analysis. Servers list from @fediverseobserver , filtered to only Mastodon & MAU > 3. A reduced dataset should be adequate for a rough approximation.
i had to cut this down so much, then further cut it & lower the quality just to upload it to #Mastodon 😞
hopefully i'll find a #PeerTube instance i can sign up for & post these #bird #nature #videos in whole💙
watch the one #dove block the other from eating from my hand. it's hilarious once you notice it 😂 #doves #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdsoffediverse

Yo folks! I've partnered with a legal team who has asked me for assistance. Please share if you can
The US has implemented policies targeting non-citizens working in content moderation through deportations and visa denials. The org I'm working with is pursuing litigation to invalidate these policies.
We are looking for US-based, non-citizen Mastodon mods to be a (named or unnamed) plaintiff in the fight to protect the first amendment. Please dm me if interested!
