ChatGPT is at best impressive as a search engine where you can't tell how reliable the source is.

@Gargron And when #gpt3 fails, it fails in a _really_, _very_ _awful_ way(s). Most obvious are the responses where output is plain non sense. They model is only a good as the data fed to it, and sometimes, even that isnβt sufficient. Itβs a fun advancement for sure. More work remains to be done. New #iOS app update with various fixes and improvements out now, including being able to follow and unfollow hashtags in the app. More in the pipelineβ¦

@Gargron to get the list of βfollowingβ from people I follow does not work or takes forever, the wheel keeps spinning. For me a very important function to expand and tighten my network. Weβre finishing up an overhaul of the sign-up experience in our iOS and Android apps, hopefully it can go live next week, I know the Android app hasnβt had a public release for a while but the beta already has editing and upload progress and a bunch of other nice things. A lot more in the pipeline for the future.

@Gargron hi Eugen. I work for the Scandinavian broadcaster TV4. Trying to get a hold of you for a short interview in Berlin. Can we connect? @Gargron Are you working on way to integrate Tidal/Spotify/YouTube links to share songs/video on @joinmastodon? That would be great! There were two notable moderation incidents on mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the past 24 hours that I would like to address. In the first, a post was wrongfully removed due to a report claiming it contained a dogwhistle, and in the second, a person was wrongfully suspended due to a report claiming it's an impersonator. Both were undone and apologies issued.

@Gargron The problem is that you HAVE a moderation team. Moderators distort and ruin everything that they touch. @Gargron Suspending @thegrayzone@mastodon.social should also be considered a pretty big moderation mistake. It's an important alternative opinion site. Let's not play Wikipedia here. I've tracked down videos and GIFs not working on mastodon.social and mastodon.online to a rate-limit issue with our object storage provider and have raised a support ticket with them #devops

@Gargron Iβll add to the voices saying βThank you!β I appreciate the care and effort you put into the platform. The CDN wasn't working right, but my attempts to fix it were unsuccessful. I made a configuration mistake involving DNS, which unfortunately means that images are broken until DNS updates everywhere. I am very sorry about this #devops

@Gargron Any chance you can add your new CloudFlare config knowledge to the Mastodon docs to help other admins? @Gargron This post make it to my google news feed - you're doing something right! I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

@Gargron Awesome job! I put a CDN in front of the images, so they should load faster now. I've also upgraded the server again. A new iOS app release is waiting for review.

@Gargron ...since this upgrade, GIFs don't render at all (they remain blurred out - across platforms, apps). Seems to be a related bug? New Mastodon for iOS build on #TestFlight. Improved login screen, media upload progress and retry on failure, verified links on profiles, bookmarks, a more obvious account switcher, and other fixes.

@Gargron Is GIF Uploading in the pipeline? I have to use Metatext to compose a Post with a GIF in it, but otherwise I prefer to use the native App, so it feels a bit odd keeping another one around just for that @Gargron Eugen, as I am quite new here. What is the process of the updates in iOS app - especially Mastodon and Metatext? If the 4.0.2 already have EDIT feature, when as user can expect having this is app?

@Gargron *Such* a great album. It's one of the best things Dev's ever done. And Nightwork is, too. I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

@Gargron Just followed @streamofron the admin for #Mastodon server (macaw.social) operated by people who used to work for the bird site #NewHere #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #TwitterRefugee @Gargron I joined Mastodon about 3 weeks ago and could not upload photos to posts via the iOS app (tried several times). 502 server error received. I almost gave up posting on the platform. In the end another user told me about a 3rd party app today, through which I could post picture posts to Mastodon without a problem π Is there an issue with uploading photos to posts on the iOS app? If so it would be great if this could be looked at, to not deter new users from starting posting. Thanks! I'm happy to say that I've now onboarded another iOS developer for our app, and we are set on making another update to the app as soon as possible. I've also onboarded the first batch of new moderators for this server.

@Gargron it would be great though, if you could educate your new moderators in basic social concepts and sociological principles β BEFORE you allow them to remove content that only straight Endo CIS white males without understanding would consider violations! @Gargron would it be possible to please include the direct message section on the Mastodon app? I couldn't seem to find it @Gargron hi ππβ€οΈβ€οΈ the living man named :eugen: , i offer my help to protect mastodon from deceptive legal system in total respect of your free consent and informed consent . Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.
Show previous comments
@Gargron @mattblaze ... the downside of that seems to be, people from all over the fediverse feel like they are justified in harassing newcomers who violate their (narrow, single-cultural) expectations... instead of blocking and moving on Thanks to the DigitalOcean team, the Mastodon image on their marketplace has been updated to the latest stable version (3.5.3). Thanks Jes!

@Gargron I had no idea it was available on Marketplace. Previously, I was using Mastodon through Cloudron. |
@Gargron And to you too, thank you for all the work you do, especially as the population of Mastodon has increased recently.
@Gargron wishing you a very happy holiday! Thank you for all that you do! π₯°
@Gargron please explode my server
