I've been really enjoying watching these cut VODs of the Yogscast Christmas poker tournament even though I don't understand much about poker

Next release of Mastodon will allow admins to post important announcements to their users, and yes, those are reactions

@Gargron will the long-time inactive users receive an email after the admin announcement? If so it’ll be great!!

@Gargron That's awesome. Btw do you have a timeline of when the new version will be coming out.

@Gargron

I'm sorry but if you use Mastodon posts to train systems for filtering inappropriate content you will lose all eye contact, alcohol, US politics, and Star Wars discussions from your platform...

(This is from the paper "Mastodon Content Warnings: Inappropriate Contents in a Microblogging Platform" published by the University of Milan)

Abstract

Our social communications and the expression of our belicfs and thoughts are becoming increasingly mediated and dif- fused by online social media. Beyond countless other advan- tages, this democratization and freedom of expression is also entailing the transfer of unpleasant offline behaviors to the online life, such as cyberbullying, sexting, hate speech and, in ‘general, any behavior not suitable for the online community people belong to. To mitigate or even remove these threats from their platforms, most of the social media providers are implementing solutions for the automatic detection and fil- tering of such inappropriate contents. However, the data they use to train their tools are not publicly available.

In this context, we release a dataset gathered from Mastodon, a distribute online social network which is formed by com- ‘munities that impose the rules of publication, and which al- lows its users to mark their posts inappropriate if they per- ceived them not suitable for the community they belong to.

You should ask her on a date, it's obvious how infatuated with her you are. :-D

@Gargron wenn die Sonne im Energiesparmodus über die leuchtet, ist es Nacht und du siehst den Mond. 😉

Detected a high number of idle sign-ups with uniform usernames since yesterday, all with e-mail ending in 2nd.world. Website of 2nd.world looks like FastMail's design, links don't lead anywhere. Suspecting phishing site / spam farm. Suspending the accounts.

@Gargron Are you getting any of these random alphanumeric usernames that never confirm? I'm assuming the email addresses are farmed from leaks.

Just realized joinmastodon.org is still featuring a screenshot of the advanced web layout, which is not the default anymore...

Turns out joinmastodon.org was somewhat broken for visitors of some locales and also the language of the picker didn't update with the language of the page. Fixed both
