I'm an admin and I've noticed this issue as well, INTPenis. I've just resolved to taking the fediblock tag with a huge grain of salt. Stick to your values and do your own investigations instead of caving to social pressure. O

That would be great, honestly. An average person can finally write their own apps for themselves and their friends.

I think the “liking Twitter post” part was just a coincidental joke.

The author mentions that they don’t want something similar to Twitter. I feel like they should give Mastodon a try. It differs from person to person, but for me the Fediverse is a lot more personal, equitable and smaller due to the way fede

I'm not sure how joinmastodon.org can improve its UX for sign-up. It seems as simple as it can be right now, without just piling everyone onto mastodon.social. Any ideas? Perhaps a "pick what topics you like, and here's a cou

This comment is irking me for some reason. It sounds very unsympathetic to her situation.

If you’re using Mastodon web UI, especially v4, you can click the eye icon on the top right to unhide or hide all CWs in a thread. My server has a rule for CW on all politics. If someone from another server (eg a journalist server) posts po

Related to this: fedi.monster is a good alternative provider too.

You're talking about the ActivityPub "MOVE" message. Yes, that would be possible I believe.

There is no mechanism currently to subscribe to a blocklist. Some forks allow exporting/importing block lists as CSVs, but that is manual. Am new admin for a friend-only instance; currently blocking seems to be done via user reports +

That is indeed usually what happens if the admin doesn't want to deal with a big userbase. I run an instance and I intend to close it off if it reaches about 100 monthly active users.

You can take a look at https://masto.host if you want your own managed server, but you'll have to do your own inter-server moderation in that case.

Zerotier does not seem to work behind my University's firewall, which seems to be a CG-NAT, and bans UDP traffic. It gets stuck on connection. It seems to connect to a relay but it does not actually work. Tailscale works out of the box
