We're contemplating sharing our "didnt result in an action" fedi investigations and stuffs. We feel like that could be interesting / useful for admins / ppl too bc it might save time / offer insight.
Would that be interesting, too much, something else?

Hey #FediAdmin folks, has anyone else run into the intermittent but frequent "..." blocks appearing above posts, where it just kinda is like your connection blanks out for a sec and then comes back if you click?
I've been struggling to solve this quirk for a while now and gotten nowhere. Current stack has Postgres, Redis, and all Masto services running on the same host, 4 vCPU and 8 GB RAM. ElasticSearch and LibreTranslate run on a separate 1 vCPU 2GB RAM host.

Speed running 4 Mastodon version updates, and now my profile timeline doesn't load anymore 💀 back to the DB migrations I go #fediadmin
Edit: if you are an admin, 4.4.2 has security fixes: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/114903207379555471

Content warning:admin question, regarding possibly dangerous fedi software
Uh, is mitra one of those fedi software forks that should be a red flag to fedi admins?

This instance sign-up rationale wins the "honesty" award:

And now it's time for your semi-regular reminder that the fediverse is ran by volunteers usually paying for hosting costs out of their own pockets.
Please consider donating to the admin(s) of your local instance! Every bit helps!
Here's mine for homestead.social and pix.lgbt 💜

This instance sign-up reason really sends mixed signals:
> " I wan't an account because I need to get my life big and I'm trying to do it at a fast pace cuz my life and my kids have been taken and I need help ASAP."

When I look at the "reason to join" people supply, I'm mighty glad that the @w3c Mastodon instance requires approval for sign-up!
Plus, it's the one barrier that exists to prevent spamming bots.
Approval required for sign-up should be the default!

Knows too little of too many things. Posts are #SliceOfLife + minor commentaries. Happy to have an IRL #meetup with y'all!
