@doctorambient Our best protection against the risks of gradual corruption and #enshittification through someone(s) agendas on the board would be to have something akin to a binding #mastodon Bill of Rights.
I have requested the creation of such a document. I hope you will consider liking / sharing / supporting it.

I sometimes think about running my own instance of #Mastodon for some niche subset of #people but I'm absolutely horrified of having to deal with CSAM, Gore, and other shit like that. I don't envy mods. I love the #internet, open source software, and #social communities but some people are fucking weirdos and not In the good way.

My first impression is that #nostr whilst technically brilliant seems to have been embraced by the #bitcoin touting ai bot; scammers and intense libertarian sovereignty crypto-bros. Not really my crowd tbh. But then, #Mastodon and most other social networks probably have a similar negative 'on-ramp' experience.

« Mastodon’s creator, Eugen Rochko, is stepping down as CEO of the open source, decentralized social network […] as part of the organization’s transition to a nonprofit structure […] Mastodon will be governed by a board of directors […] Going forward, Rochko will continue contributing to Mastodon as an adviser. […] In total, Mastodon has 10 full-time employees. Rochko said he knew it was time to step aside as Mastodon had grown to be bigger than he could manage alone, and because he was also facing burnout. […] The organization has already transitioned to a nonprofit in the U.S. but is still working to set up a nonprofit in Belgium, or an AISBL, to replace the German entity, which lost its nonprofit status last year. […] By restructuring Mastodon, Rochko believes the organization will maintain its position as "billionaire-proof" social media. » https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/18/mastodon-ceo-steps-down-as-the-social-network-restructures

Is anyone else bothered by a #Twitter co-founder becoming a member of the new board for #Mastodon?
I don't know a whole lot about this person, but it's not like they were there at the very beginning and left. Does anyone here know if, for instance, they were a force for good at Twitter that just got outvoted?
Cuz otherwise...

#Mastodon should let you add Emoji (EG NeoCats) like #MSNMessenger did back in the day; Right click on it and click "add". Then you'd no longer be held up by requesting your Admins add specific sets.

Are there any #ios #mastodon clients that have a “hide bot toots” toggle? @IceCubesApp?

I’m really curious how many of the millions of #mastodon users primarily (or even solely) use this platform instead of unfederated apps.

Whew.
Finally back online with a spankin' new Mastodon instance.
Still, same address and .. the same ole Alex.
I spent days trying to update #Mastodon 4.4.8 to 4.5.0 but something was wrong...very wrong.
I think it was a database corruption but #PostgresSQL and I aren't really pals, so rebuild was the "easy" way out.
That old instance had been running, more or less without problems, since late 2022. So maybe it was time. But still, I wonder why the update from 4.4.8 broke it.
