Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

@Gargron I think those institutions will start a constructive trend. Social media is going through a major transition. Public awareness of the issues appears to be rather low. Most people may not care about unhealthy social media side effects. Or they cannot envision a healthy version.

@Gargron @minbzk this is so awesome to see. Well done Masotdon team! Free communication that is not controlled by evil American corporations will become a reality everywhere!

Keep in mind we're going to do some database maintenance in about 30 minutes, which may involve some downtime. You can always check status.mastodon.social to get the latest information.

@Gargron What's great is that I was in the process of replying and noticed there was an error, but all the other instances are up, hello!

Peque

@Gargron yep, I figured out just a moment ago. It's nice to see why is mastodon.social down :BlobHajMlem:

Ben Zanin

@Gargron thank you for the heads up and the status page post!

@Gargron why hasn’t Elon challenged you to a cage fight yet?
I feel that we as a community are being left out.

I called this massage move. 😂

My mum and I, we had 5 cats once. They really loved to do this to just about everything even us, specially when we're not paying attention to their mew mew 😂

Mastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂

Eugen Rochko

So, weekend tally: The number of active users across Mastodon rose by 294K, and posting activity roughly tripled. Lots of new sign-ups, but also many returning users. Fun times!

@Gargron Hi, Eugen. I have an idea how you can make money and at the same time make everybody happy (the total opposite of what Musk is doing). How can I write to you privately?

@Gargron It seems an interesting time to post, even for those of us who were already long firmly in the Fediversian camp.

Eugen Rochko

Thank you to Renaud, Tim, and Claire for coming to help with the infrastructure despite it being Sunday! #hugops

I would prefer it if Elon Musk was destroying his site during the work week. This isn't the first time.

I've been paying to use NewsBlur ever since, and getting my monies worth out of it.

@Gargron Hello. Will there be a "translation" function in the Mastodon app for android in the near future?

Eugen Rochko

New Mastodon for Android release coming next week! Currently in internal testing. New profiles, new settings, new search, and more!

@Gargron Looking forward to the update with excitement. I've tried others, but I keep coming back to Mastodon app. Again & again. Thanks for the awesome job.

@Gargron I am using Tusky on my Android phone, what will the new one be called??

Eugen Rochko

Based on internal feedback, I think our new t-shirts will be a huge success. We expect to launch them along with mugs, enamel pins and stickers mid-July. The designs are awesome, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise yet. It’ll be a fun way for the non-profit to fundraise more money 😊

Eugen Rochko

If you enjoy using mastodon.social, or our official apps for iOS and Android, or want to support the development of the server software itself, you can donate to our non-profit on Patreon at patreon.com/mastodon

@Gargron Sorry that I bother you, but sending money via Paypal does not work atm. Tried it 3 times and received this graphic. Is it possible to donate direct in the Paypal App too? And if, how?

Estee Tey

@Gargron is the app open source? If it's a tech stack im familiar with I can help to look at some issues.

Eugen Rochko

Just watched #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse, it was so good! But now we have to wait for the next one 😅 Had no idea it was just part one.

@Gargron The next movie is called “Beyond the spiderverse”

Rodney Simba 🇿🇼 🇺🇸 :verified:

@Gargron lol yes. So originally they did say Part 1, but the audience tests showed those test audiences HATING the idea of a Part 1 so they just said “fuck it don’t tell them” 🤣

Mori

@Gargron Yeah- I was dubious it could live up to the high standard of “Into the Spider-verse”, but it knocked it out of the park. Lord and Miller are the best writing/production combo around.

@Gargron their new album is awesome! Are they playing anything from it?

Chance :blobcatgooglytrash:

@Gargron those guys are starting to look old. Lol. I remember seeing them back in like 2008 or something opening for Circa Survive. The Deer Hunter is the band I've seen the most times by coincidence. They always opened for bands I went to see.

Nebyoolae

@Gargron Jealous! I got into their Color Spectrum album last year and became a fan.

@Gargron

What a nice office to have, free from people's crowded mind. And when you go out after awhile to take a look around you know you don't miss much, human social activities are easy to catch up. 😅🤪😂
