As yet another #Mastodon #instance dies, yet another Mastodon instance #admin doesn't clean up after themselves, and did not issue the 'self destruct' command before they pulled the plug. Good going, #chatwithus.live. Thanks for the massive retry queue, followed by massive dead jobs queue. We fellow Mastodon instance admins really appreciate it. #Sarcasm abound.

It's almost 2 weeks since this #fediverse #instance was born and it's reached around 3K federated instances, at the moment.

We'd like to fasten up the process, so it would be cool if you could #boost this toot to help us reach moar spaces. Appreciated

Loving the new changes to Sharkey, I’m going to have to make some little videos about it to try and advertise the use of not only Sharkey but also Bikers Go Social

#Sharkey #Fediverse #Updates #Instance

#Mastodon: I imagine an #instance only for #typos, where our typos stir up a wild alphabet salad, post recipes for pasta dishes made from i and L, and debate why they finally have to revolt against the stupid X.
Imagine when they separate from our silly #writing and finally get their own life! Of course, mods have to fight fake typos and propaganda for letter twisters! But our typos would be freed from that nasty killing edit feature! Or is the #edit feature sending them to that instance?

We apologize for any inconvenience

Can anyone recommend a Mastodon instance that prohibits or limits the use of AI?

I've been browsing the server directory and most don't even mention AI.

Does the fediverse have no will to fight AI slop or what?

Seit einigen Tagen werden Medien meiner Mastodon-Instanz metalhead.club global verteilt über ein eigenes CDN ausgeliefert.

Das verringert die Latenzen für Benutzer aus nicht-EU Ländern und sorgt für weniger Frust bei den Ladezeiten.

Was ein CDN ist, welche Implementierungsmethoden es gibt und wie ich mein kleines CDN umgesetzt habe, erfahrt ihr in meinem neuen Blogpost:

After attending #PubConf2025 yesterday, I chatted with a friend that expressed wanting to get of Instagram.
They have been intrigued by me saying, that #Mastodon always has been a pretty #queer space.
Now I’m looking for the right #instance to recommend. But the choices are overwhelming.

Where would a queer, #feminist, intellectual, English language #writer, #educator in arts, secular Jewish, pro Palestinian, gen-X person feel at home?

I'm glad I finally got rid of the constant #spamming of #europesays and its countless sub-sites, by blocking its #pubeurope #instance on #Mastodon .The website europesays.com is registered with a simple P.O. Box address in Denver, Colorado, #USA ,and provides no online information about who's behind it. Clearly, this is a #AI-powered #bot polluting the #fediverse .

New #instance, new #introduction

Not new to the Fediverse, but always kinda planned on joining mastodon.radio once I got my license, which is now!

Interested in #POTA, #SOTA, and #SSTV. Eventually want to give #DX an earnest go. With respect to radio: don't know what I don't know; interested to find additional interests.

Elsewhere known as @ety@hive.institute or @ety@corteximplant.com.

I'll focus on radio content here; may boost elsewhere. Overall posts and boosts will be infrequent. Lurk moar.

so what's this i read that https://peoplemaking.games is about to shut down?

So ... I got an email alert from not my last instance, but the instance before that, saying I had a new follower.

I also had a notification that that same account had followed me on this instance. Not sure what that's all about.

I thought this account was already following me, but perhaps they changed their instance, which is why I got the sudden re-follow idk. Or maybe they weren't following me at all until now.

Maybe they've only just accepted my follow request from an instance I was on a couple of years ago.

It's all a bit Twilight Zone.

I realise also this post has the word 'instance' in it a lot.
