@Gargron And to you too, thank you for all the work you do, especially as the population of Mastodon has increased recently.

kcǃ

@Gargron wishing you a very happy holiday! Thank you for all that you do! πŸ₯°

Annual report for this year is going to be interesting...

@Gargron I'd say "interesting" is a wee bit of an understatement... πŸ˜†

@Gargron Am I going to be in this report? I have created a trending poll early this year which reached over 900 people in the instance. I would be most grateful if you were to include that in the report. if you don't, thanks for considering lmao

New #Android update out now with new login screen, editing, upload progress, verified links in profiles and more. More to follow…

@Gargron That's good. The #Android app has great potential, it just needs a fair bit of work. I'd really like to be able to view image #alttext without having to go to a different app or the web version.

@Gargron since that update the language changed to German. Do you know how I can restore back to Dutch or who can help me with this?

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 isn’t sufficient. It’s 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 pipeline…

@Gargron please add a global and local timelines. This would make this app perfect!

Roger Claessen

@Gargron to get the list of β€œfollowing” 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.

Eugen Rochko

We’re 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 hasn’t 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 thank you for doing an astounding job! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

@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?

Tommaso Marchetti

@Gargron Are you working on way to integrate Tidal/Spotify/YouTube links to share songs/video on @joinmastodon? That would be great!

Eugen Rochko

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 Thanks for the clear and open communication. πŸ‘

Pete_Needham

@Gargron The problem is that you HAVE a moderation team. Moderators distort and ruin everything that they touch.

A kind (of) writer

@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.

Eugen Rochko

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 I’ll add to the voices saying β€œThank you!” I appreciate the care and effort you put into the platform.

YayForThat

@Gargron
I think Gifs are working again?
Can anyone confirm this? πŸ™‚

Eugen Rochko

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

Eugen Rochko

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 am liking this new platform, but I don’t know how to easily search for my Twitter follows/followers that are on here.
Is there a Mastodon support?
Thank you πŸ™Œ

bluewave is coming

@Gargron If you can afford it ,any one can host a server, that's a freedom twitter or facebook can never claim. #Bluewave I LIKE IT

Eingfoan :donor:

@Gargron thy @Gargron and @jerry and the whole team in infosec.exchange u are the best.

Eugen Rochko

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.

Chris Pirillo

@Gargron ...since this upgrade, GIFs don't render at all (they remain blurred out - across platforms, apps). Seems to be a related bug?

patchshorts

@Gargron using containers and horizontal scaling on a serverless platform?

Eugen Rochko

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

Eva Pavlikova

@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 I am truly grateful for your work. Take your time. I am happy to have landed here and am patient. Nothing is urgent, some things are fun and important ....

Eugen Rochko

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 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 πŸ™Œ 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!

The Spoonless Kitchen

@Gargron Yeah no no no no no no no this is a bad thing. A very bad thing. A very very very very very very very bad thing.

These people are responsible for millions of global #COVID deaths in 2021 alone (and for the forever #pandemic the world now finds itself in):

reddit.com/r/Qult_Headquarters

These people sold advertising to foreign state bad actors to post deceptively (as genuine users) to spread #COVID-19 #disinformation, and to attack government, public health, and infectious diseases accounts trying to post factual #COVID19 information to help people:

reddit.com/r/Qult_Headquarters

Twitter isn't worried about losing large American corporate ads, because they will never lose the foreign state bad actor advertisers that are, and always have been, Twitter's main source of revenue (pardon my profanity in the Reddit post):

reddit.com/r/Qult_Headquarters

The contagion needs to be quarantined. Wall this #server off, #Mastodon. Do NOT let macaw.social join the #fediverse!

@Gargron Yeah no no no no no no no this is a bad thing. A very bad thing. A very very very very very very very bad thing.

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!
Not funny what they do.
Can't you please first baby sit them for a couple of years until they've learned?

Nicole Marie T

@Gargron would it be possible to please include the direct message section on the Mastodon app? I couldn't seem to find it

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

@Gargron (raises hand) I'm a new guy. Signed up to give this platform a test run. I sincerely hope this will take off as an alternative to TwitMusk.

Eugen Rochko

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.

cpgorski

@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

Stephen Sherman

@Gargron My favorite part of this is "having been here since 2016" πŸ˜€

Eugen Rochko

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 glad the team was able to turn this around quickly! πŸ’ͺ🏽

@Gargron I had no idea it was available on Marketplace. Previously, I was using Mastodon through Cloudron.
