And here we are, I have another #Mastodon announcement to make. I guess my last...

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that I deceived you, but I didn’t know it at the time.

Due to a misunderstanding, somewhere along the way, the one month contract was just that, one month only. I had interpreted it as “I’m not sure if I can make a new contract with the same terms, because there’s not enough money right now, but let’s start with one month and take it from there.”

⚠ The security vulnerability on discovered in rc1 and rc2 have been patched, in verson 2.4.0rc3 ⚠ UPDATE ASAP

⚠ If you've run 2.3.3+master you may be affected too (since the 27th of march)

⭐ 2.3.3 and other previous stable versions are SAFE, and not affected by it.

Kicking off the day with hot-takes. I thought I didn't do hottakes LOL

Anyways.

Fam? Can we _all_ just try to be nicer to each other, and not constantly step on each other?

Like, take care to actually not step on people.

Kick up, not down. Remember?

@Jo It's just a protocol.

If you don't like the people who made it, that's fine, and totally okay. DOesn't mean you have to attack every server that runs it. Yeh?

Like, if people hate Gargron, they don't have to attack every single mastodon instance. Or do you think that's fair?

@kaniini @rysiek Yeah, I woke up to reading this thread. I was like Nope, Fuck this shit.

I'm also very tired of the "very bad people" shit I hear anytime someone asks about pleroma, and if other people would say shit about mastodon because of incidents by masto people (inside and outside of dev), they'd get so fucking upset.

Nope, this isn't the culture I want to cultivate here.

Don't wanna talk with them? Then nope out and suspend/silence.

@schestowitz @Katharsisdrill @clacke @aemon

Servers are different because there are different admins, in some places there are No moderation at all.
Some places will always talk to their users before silence / block, and give them a chance to look over the situation.
Some will assume you know and are responsible for your own actions.
It varies, almost to the extent that there are instances and admins.

Srsly fam! I want to help, but there are a lot of others out there that can help too!

Try using #NeedHelp and we'll try and do what we can to answer your questions.

(and I'm just going to drop my patreon here, incase anyone wants to throw some dollars on me because I work with mastodon when I need rest, https://patreon.com/maloki )

I'm staying on the #Mastodon project for another 3 months. :)

A long while ago, I said that I was going to make a category on the Mastodon discourse (forum) for other parts of the fediverse to join the conversation.

But I didn't actually ask, is this something developers of GNU Social/postActiv/Pleroma etc. would be interested in?

Discussions on this category I assume would mostly be about how to be as compatible with each other as possible.

If the internet dies completely, how will you consume movies and music?

Okay, let's get @pettter to that damn concert!

We need some RT power on this tweet:

Sorry guys, I was too tired to remember the " " last night, what I meant to say was:

Hey guys #mastowiki, I see that the Japanese wiki are looking for other language collaboration.

Please get in touch with them,
Info from their webpage:

"Welcome to the Mastodon Wiki!
We are currently looking for admins and editors to collaborate in other languages.

If you think you can help, please send an email to neetshin@neetsh.in "

The url for that wiki is: https://mstdn.wiki

Oh, and Hello influx of Japanese Mastodon Users!
If you want to practice your English I am always happy to help! Just let me know what level of correction/help you want, and I'll try to accommodate.

Happy Friday!

@brokep @mmasnick I hollered at some #Infosec people earlier that they should set up another instance or two :>
