@Mastodon make retro styled "still not using e2ee" or "I store my personal data on someones computer – unencrypted" or "I got banned bc reading my PM felt creepy for someone else" stuff

Harrie :verified_cool:

@Mastodon can you get more 3xl in stock? I've only recently got paid and can't believe I've missed out. Hope to be able to order 1 soon 🤞

Following the German @ZDF and @tagesschau, the BBC is giving Mastodon a go through their own server. You can now follow the official @BBCRadio4 and a few other accounts on social.bbc!

@Mastodon @BBCRadio4 cool… and I just want to point out for @BBC_News_Labs that @bbcworld currently has 30k followers and that is a bot reposting from twitter.

so, would love to see an official bbc world news here

@Mastodon @ZDF @tagesschau @BBCRadio4 why o why o why servers like this ? is there a document explaining why you designed it like this ? there seems to be many other different ways you could have avoided the confusion of 100s of different server rules. #redditkingdoms #derpdesign

To help us raise more funds for our development efforts, we are launching a new line of merchandise for Mastodon including t-shirts, mugs, enamel pins, and stickers.

@Mastodon why is there nothing new under Posts for the last day? Seems like your security patch might have broken things.

Jeroen Habets

@Mastodon I just noticed 4.1.4 on github and upgraded (smooth as a whistle)

No post though...or did I miss it?

"This release addresses a few issues that were missed in the last security update and includes changelogs for both updates.

⚠️ It is a follow-up to the important 4.1.3 security release fixing multiple critical security issues (CVE-2023-36460, CVE-2023-36459)."

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today:

⚠️ We are planning to release important security fixes for #Mastodon on July 6th, between 13:00 and 15:00 UTC. They will be available for the 4.1, 4.0 and 3.5 versions as well as a nightly release, to make the upgrade as small and painless for everyone as possible. Be ready to upgrade!

@Mastodon The time display in Japanese has become strange with this update. "○ minutes ago" is displayed as "○ months ago". Please fix it.

@Mastodon why is it anyone can have someone else's post deleted just because they don't like or agree with it? I was hoping there were a more mature, calm attitude at Mastodon but I've already had about deleted bc someone didn't like it and decided it was H8 speech which it wasn't. Why is this happening everywhere? All he did was prevent others who strive for truth from reading different points of view? Am I always to be someone's shoe gum who fears debatell so shuts me up? That's bullying...

@Mastodon Hey there! My account has incorrectly been labeled as a Bot account, and I can't get ahold of anyone to fix it, What should I do?

Shankar

@Mastodon you should add a direct message option like inbox.

Mastodon

You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/

@Mastodon Almost forgot, “groups” was also mentioned in this announcement :) mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1102

RedStrider

@Mastodon For all those against quote posts:

Quote posts already exist, they're called screenshots and links. If people were going to harass others with quote posts, then they already are now.
However screenshots are prone to being doctored, and links are horrible for accessibility. Generally both are a dumb idea when the Fediverse is kinda made for this.

Quote posts can only be an upgrade, bringing Mastodon up to the other Fediverse apps

Hello, @Mastodon. I made a contribution recently, and I cannot find it on this release. Do you know how long it takes for a change to make a release? Thank you.

Mastodon

The most recent update to our official Android app brings the sign-up flow up-to-date with the iOS version, and allows viewing media descriptions!

@Mastodon The about section of my #profile in #mastodon seems to be broken when I add a link. @Mastodon please take a look at this #mastodonbug #bug

Also anyone please tell me where exactly I can report bugs. Thanks in advance

Ray

@Mastodon It would be cool if you added the option to change usernames in an upcoming update.

@Mastodon A wonderful application, I hope that there will be a translation of publications such as Twitter

Today we've released a new update to our iOS app! It brings an improved sign-up flow, home screen widgets, and many accessibility improvements.

@Mastodon please show all followers regardless of servers.

Dadmin

@Mastodon Normally I use #metatext but gave the new #mastodonapp update for iOS a try. Nice design and I can edit posts which Metatext can‘t.

What I don’t like:
- Pinned toots do not show in profiles. This sometimes buries some really great but older content 😏👎
- Visibility of toots can still not be set to „unlisted“. For me not a big thing as I compose longer threads in the browser. But it‘s a useful feature which was implemented for a good reason in mastodon and should be part of the M-app.

Good day, Adam.

@Mastodon

Are you still looking for a product designer? Or would you like some ideas on a product to design?

El Psy Congroo

@Mastodon Do you have open record of funding and compensation for employees as a non profit?

Michael Roth

@Mastodon

I think Mastodon shouldn't have paid employees

It should have only volunteers

The site's expenditures should be paid for by donations only

(like Wikipedia)

It should concentrate on simplicity

(Like actually Twitter does)

Then it could grow to actually become a "humane" challenger to Musk's profit-oriented App

... right now Mastodon is too complicated, and therefore stays small

@Mastodon will there be a translation tool for the toots? or maybe additional plugins for it?

Thaiis Thei 𓁟

@Mastodon Interesting how you keep hiring technical people but don't have a single ethics person.

@Mastodon
Clearly an anti-competitive action.

Anyone pursuing this in court or with regulators anywhere in the world?

@Mastodon Dear Mastodon, tell me please why did you suspend bundeskanzler's account @bundeskanzler@norden.social ? I am his follower. Can you unsuspend him?

@Mastodon what's the status on porting profiles to new servers? Refollowing people is a bit of a pain to do one by one.

For_the_Joy_of_It

@Mastodon Is there a current project working to translate posts from popular non-English languages?

👋 Hey there, @Mastodon! Just a nifty suggestion, it'd be great if we get the option to see fewer Reblogs from the people we follow. That would remove a considerable chunk of ‘unwanted’ content popping up in our feeds. ✌️

Other than that, I'm having an incredibly great experience here on Mastodon. Keep it up! 👍
