Not how I wanted to start my Monday. And this is why I wait until I've taken care of everything I need to take care of in the morning before logging-on to my workstation. I sure as hell do not want to be dealing with bullshit #reports from #Mastodon #instances.

Subject: Inquiry regarding social media strategy & EU digital sovereignty
Dear EPSO https://eu-careers.europa.eu
I write as a user interested in EU career opportunities.
I noticed your communication relies exclusively on US-based platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). Given EU data protection regulations and digital sovereignty, this is concerning. These platforms harvest metadata for the US, conflicting with GDPR.
Could you please clarify why your department does not yet have an official presence on the EU's own federated platform, Mastodon (europa.eu), or other decentralized alternatives like PeerTube?
I believe that promoting European job opportunities through American platforms contradicts the EU's commitment to data autonomy. I strongly encourage you to consider migrating your communication channels to more democratic, privacy-compliant solutions hosted on European servers.
Sincerely,
anon_

Mastodon-Update ohne Downtime
Mit der Umstellung auf ein offizielle Mastodon-Image sind die Updates bei Fulda.Social effizienter geworden. Statt manueller Docker-Builds werden nun Konfigurationsdateien als Read-Only-Volume eingebunden. Dies verbessert die Stabilität und ermöglicht automatische Updates mit Watchtower, während der Speicherverbrauch gesenkt wird.https://dasnetzundich.de/mastodon-update-ohne-downtime/

And just like that, #reports from https://mas.to and https://mstdn.social are now silenced and rejected. And fuck Eugen Rochko for not requiring #instance #admins to approve all user reports before they're sent on to the remote instance! Sharkey does this. Why can't #Mastodon?

An amazing demonstration for International Women’s Day took place in Berlin yesterday, with an estimated 30,000 attendees, most of whom were women.
Later, when I searched the Fediverse for posts about the demonstration, I could only find three profiles other than my own.
This made me wonder about the discrepancy between what happens in the streets and what is reflected on social media. Social media can be a powerful space for political expression, dialogue, and connection.
Some time ago, I ran a small poll asking women if patriarchal dynamics and male behavior on Mastodon, which is still largely dominated by white men, make participation harder.
Out of 169 responses, about 59% said yes (23% totally agree and 36% partially agree). Just 20% totally disagree. [1]
Even though that poll is far from representative, I couldn't forget the result when I noticed how little discussion there was here about the 30,000-person feminist demonstration in Berlin.
For the Fediverse to be a viable alternative to mainstream platforms, it must reflect the diversity and energy of offline movements.

When I first opened my #Mastodon account, I didn’t enable automated post deletion. A week later, I turned it on and set the age threshold to one year. Since then, I’ve gradually reduced it, and it now sits at one week — the lowest available. I don’t remember what I told my kid last month. So why should my toots stay online longer than things far more important that I can’t even recall?

Se coñeces alguén que quere probar Mastodon pero anda un pouco perdido, esta guía pode axudar.
Explica que é o Fediverso, como funciona e como escoller instancia.

Talking Smacks topluluğundan küçük bir duyuru:
İlk elektronik dergi yazım yayımlandı! 🎉
Bu yazıda; Linux ile ilk tanışmamdan Mastodon ve Fediverse deneyimime, topluluklarla kurduğum bağlara ve Talking Smacks projesini geliştirirken öğrendiklerime kadar uzanan yolculuğumu paylaştım.
Bir USB bellekle başlayan merakın insanı nerelere götürebileceğine dair küçük bir geriye bakış yazısı.

#Mastodon scheint fedi:creator nur zu inkludieren wenn der inkludierte Account auch Mastodon ist.
Andere Fedi Software wird anscheinend ausgeschlossen. 🤨
