Working out the final touches on a set of Mastodon merch. Hopefully it won’t be long now, and I think you’ll like it!

@Gargron I still need to get into it. For some reason I just discovered Virus only now, instead of a few years ago...

I'm excited to announce that after hundreds of applications and a long hiring process we've found our new, full-time devops engineer! Welcome on board, Tim!

@Gargron Hello My name is Katherina Dutchke of German nationality but currently hospitalized in France because of my health If Meta is really working on a new ActivityPub-powered social network, I see it as a very positive signal overall--my personal feelings towards Meta notwithstanding. For one, it's validation for our entire ecosystem from the biggest player. It also tells me that they don't see themselves as strong enough to keep users locked inside their walled garden anymore. It means the tide is really turning for interoperable social media, and that's always been the goal.

@Gargron Meta are E.E.E. to the extreme. Any innovation that gains traction in any social media platform is immediately cloned by Meta to stamp out the pesky competition before it can get a toehold. That’s all AP is to them, pesky competition that needs to be wiped out. @Gargron I'm not super smart with all of this. Does Meta using ActivityPub mean their new system will link in with Mastodon the way other actual Mastodon servers will? Or will it not work with Mastodon? Or? How will this work? @Gargron This is rather completely false and I unfortunately can't agree with you. Meta/Facebook has not changed at all. They still are the same old privacy-invasive Big Tech company from many years ago that have not learned anything from their terrible past. You are fooling yourself by welcoming them. They are going to ruin the Fediverse as we know it. Reconsider your decision, as you are making a terrible mistake.

We've been hit by a massive DDoS attack. The site may not work as expected. We're working on mitigating the attack. Fastly are helping us. If in doubt, check status.mastodon.social for information.

Does it waddle and quack like the RU mafia state? And they thought turning twtr into their propaganda and terrorist mush via their psycho puppet was going to be enough.

We've had over 1.3K candidates apply to the 3 open positions at Mastodon so far, which is very exciting, but getting through them as such a small team is taking its time. Getting somewhere though!

I haven’t had much time to post because the last 3 months have been absolutely wild in terms of workload. But I’m very excited about how this platform is growing.

I know that there's been intermittent stability issues with mastodon.social and mastodon.online recently. We're working on improving our infrastructure to address this.

@Gargron Hey 👋🏼 I love your content, but I am highly allergic to cathair and therefore do not enjoy the cat content. Is there any chance u bring the cat content on another account?

@Gargron I'm not so sure about food that requires one to keep Pepto-Bismol so closely on hand. mastodon.social, mastodon.online and joinmastodon.org were hit by a DDoS yesterday, thankfully joinmastodon.org was already behind Fastly so it didn't have any impact on it. We've now moved mastodon.online behind Fastly and will do the same with mastodon.social soon.

@Gargron just saying… our firm has been working with @cloudflare for quite some time and they’re absolutely amazing. A number of folks have reached out to us over the past few months asking how they could help Mastodon out. Unfortunately, we haven't had the capacity to accept those kind offers at the time. If you're interested in getting involved as a volunteer, please fill out this form (and share it around!) so we know who could help with what. (There is plenty that needs doing!)

@Gargron Ich fange niemals an, Fragebogen auszufüllen, wenn ich sie nicht vor dem ersten Ankreuzen/Einsetzen etc. GANZ sehen kann. I believe mastodon.social might be under a DDoS attack currently, investigating. Sorry for the inconvenience!

There are over 700 applications for the open positions at Mastodon. Thankfully we're now joined by @inganomads to help us with the hiring process. And Claire is now full-time!

@Gargron @inganomads If you ever need a #writer , with nearly 30 years experience (United Nations, TV, etc…) I hope you’ll keep me in mind 🙏🏼✨ @Gargron @inganomads I suppose you have to pass the Israel test and the Ukraine test if you want in. @Gargron @inganomads That's good to hear! 👍 An update: http://sinetti.com/Mastodon/samiseppo_applies_for.html ...for a co-operative partnership/job at/with #Mastodon was rejected for now. This current feed works as a constantly continuing "CV" for any additional approaches in the future. Perhaps I'll do certain updates in a form of blog too.

Options are good, but honestly after trying #Ivory for a few days, I don't understand the hype I'm hearing in my feed. In my eyes, it's just not any better than the official free #Mastodon client, which is absolutely great on iOS. Thanks @Gargron for the great iOS app, and looking forward to watch it evolve! In the meantime, I'll send you the money I saved on Ivory. |
@Gargron sounds interesting!
@Gargron I need ALL OF IT! I know this even before seeing it.
@Gargron Don’t forget a Mastodon Airways shirt.
