The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

@Gargron @potus i think every mastodon should block Meta related every instance for privacy concerns. Or at least give an option to block such domains easily

jlo

@Gargron Yes but Meta (and the others) donate more so in return, they get “engagement” to sell ads.

@Gargron

This seems like a no-brainer. Fediverse for the White House.

Who is with me!

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

@Gargron @haubles truly a joy to welcome the folks who’ve made this incredible community and platform possible. There’s nothing like meeting someone for the first time in person after years of appreciating their work online!

HOPEFULJOURNEY

@Gargron I'm reaching out on behalf of a dearest friend who received the heartbreaking news of a stage 2 cancer diagnosis.

In an effort to support them during this difficult time, I've started a fundraiser on GoFundMe. Your support, whether through a donation or by sharing the fundraiser with your network, would make a world of difference to my friend in need.

If you're able to contribute or spread the word, it would mean a lot. Here's the link to the fundraiser : gofundme.com/f/hope-amidst-har

@Gargron Welcome to NYC! Let me know if you need a babysitter 😂

@Gargron One of those rare cases where I don't know what's going on, and I don't need to in order to strongly agree!

It's an interesting image. Quirky pose but that's part of the draw. I find the face oversaturated and when I checked in an image editor there was a greenish color cast. Maybe my cheap monitor. ??

Holla die Waldfee kostet der Film.

Wo lässt Du diesen denn entwickeln?

@Gargron die AE1 war/ist Legende. Verstehe bis heute nicht, warum ich ihr zugunstennder T90 untreu wurde

@Gargron

It does!

Reminds me of a photo I took of the bike of similar vintage that got me around the Irish village I was living in for several months. A kind of fond farewell and thanks for excellent companionship.

First scans of Silbersalz arrived. It's motion picture film (really, it's Kodak Vision3 in different packaging) developed in ECN-2. It is impressive how fine the grain is. But their lab processing time is much slower than I expected.

@Gargron Ooo…your photo has a buttery quality to it. Scrumptious!

@Gargron I've been scanning old family pictures and this has very strong 'family trip in 1974' energy. 💖

We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

@Gargron
"Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated."

What exactly is such a profile? One whose every single post is an AI image without any comments? Or pretty much any account that specializes on #AIart, and to what degree of AI usage?

Ben Brockert

@Gargron How are users of the server supposed to know about rules updates?

Eugen Rochko

We've rolled out a new feature on mastodon.social. You now have access to notification settings and can decide who you want to get notifications from. Everyone else will be put into notification requests you can peruse separately. There's a fresh coat of paint as well!

@Gargron
The first bit sounds good, the second (the UI change) sounds ominous. I'll reserve judgement until I get to a PC though...

@Gargron

Being able to mute or filter posts that exceed 500 characters would be great.

Search is not good because it returns too many dissertations.

できるだけ多くの人に楽しんでもらえるようにお求めやすい価格にしたいと考えています。

@Gargron I asked my Japanese girlfriend what she thought about the stuffed toy: "It would not sell. It is not cute enough, and it is way too big."

I also expected her to say it is way too big. Space is so scarce in Japan. It is mostly mountains.

yes your girlfriend is cute, but the Japanese are the world experts on making cute stuffed animals.

Is it mostly men on Mastodon in Japan?

I do want you to make money.

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.
