My friend @tulsalien.bsky.social recently shared a #MutualAid request to help expand their ability to uplift #Community through art and creating!!!
They have helped me stay housed by creating a #zine with my art, and selling stickers on my behalf made with my art too!
That's just a teeny tiny bit of everything they have been doing and plan to do for #CommunityCare
Take a peak!

Furthermore, it is NOT my place to judge whether or not someone needs those safety features - if they feel like they do, then they absolutely do.
That’s all there is to it. IMNSHO.

And, yes, there ABSOLUTELY are users for whom this level of control will be a necessary safety feature if quote toots are available. I may not be one of those users, but I ABSOLUTELY recognise that they exist, and I utterly approve of them having this level of control. #Mastodon #fedi

I know that there was a lot of argument about the quote feature coming to #Mastodon, and I think that both sides had valid arguments to make.
With that in mind, I do appreciate that, at least in the app that I’m using, users have this level of control over quote toots. #fedi
I was mostly neutral on the topic, but I do think that this is a reasonable compromise to protect user safety.

Wow! #Mastodon hat jetzt endlich auch eine Zitat Funktion. Damit wird diese App für mich ganz langsam zu einer wirklichen Alternative zu #blsky 🥳

@jan dann geh doch mal bei #Mastodon 
in die Admin Einstellungen #Relais und lege ein Relais mit folgender Adresse an: https://relay.fedi.buzz/language/de du wirst dich wundern, was du alles schickes zu lesen bekommst.

Well, I just got myself "#verified" on my own #Mastodon server, so that was fun - NOT! Here's how I did it, because the default instructions don't work if your main front page to your domain name IS your Mastodon root drive. Because Mastodon does everything dynamically using #RubyOnRails, so there's no "index.html" page to edit to add the required #verification link!
---
1. Went to /home/mastodon/live/app/views/layouts/
and edited the file "application.html.haml" to include the following lines at the bottom:
.ownerContainer
%a{:href => "https://westodon.com/@West", rel: "me", class: "centered-link"} Owner's Profile
What this does is make a link at the bottom of your main Mastodon page (it's okay, it gets replaced later with all sorts of other stuff), that's centered on the page, and contains the URL to my profile. So for you, change that URL of course.
...And then I saved it (required admin password/sudo)
2. Cleared the #Ruby cache. This was actually the most complicated part, because it required multiple additional steps that I wasn't expecting.
To clear the cache, you have to run the following line:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear
But I got an error. To fix that error, I had to do ALL of the following:
Install Ruby with:
sudo snap install ruby --classic
and then do:
bundle install
and then do:
yarn install
ONLY THEN was I finally able to clear the cache with the part way above on the top of step 2 up there.
3) Then I did this Ruby precompile command:
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails assets:precompile
4) Then I restarted Mastodon services:
sudo systemctl restart mastodon-*
5) Preferences > Public Profile
Under Public Profile's main "tab", I entered the required "Extra field". Label - "Westodon", Content - "https://westodon.com"
> Save Changes
6) Verification "tab" (Still under Preferences > Public Profile), scrolled ALL the way to the bottom, to the section called "Websites allowed to credit you", and put my "westodon.com" on its own line and hit Enter
7) Finally, under Administration > Server Settings > Appearance, I stuck the following lines in the "Custom CSS" Section:
.ownerContainer {
text-align: center; /* Centers inline content within the container */
}
.centered-link {
/* Optional: further styling for the link itself */
display: inline-block; /* Allows margin: auto for block-level centering if desired, but text-align on parent is usually sufficient for links */
margin: 0 auto; /* This would center a block-level element, but works with inline-block too */
padding: 10px 20px;
background-color: lightblue;
text-decoration: none;
color: #333;
}
---
After that, I reloaded my website and BAM! Finally got my verification #checkmark. Now, I'm not sure if ALL of these steps were required, but those are all the steps I did, and when I was done, I was finally verified.
I feel like it should be easier to do this from within the Admin settings directly... /sigh

Ok, I have encountered some minor issues that will take some time to resolved. I am out of time for today so I will pick this up again tomorrow AM.
Maintenance complete for today.

I still think #Mastodon users should be called mastobators.

Some corners of #Mastodon are truly the wild, wild west. Just saw a video posted by a Ukrainian user of a Russian soldier being blown apart by a Ukrainian drone.
I didn't need to see that to understand war is horrific on all sides.
