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!
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! Keep in mind we're going to do some database maintenance in about 30 minutes, which may involve some downtime.

@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!

@Gargron why hasn’t Elon challenged you to a cage fight yet? 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! 🙂

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

Looks like Mastodon's active user base has increased by 110K over the last day. Not bad.

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

@Gargron for a sec I thought this was a https://botsin.space/@RikerGoogling post I didn't get 😂 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. 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 😊

@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? 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 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” 🤣

@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.

@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!
@Gargron @minbzk @TomOrmiston boggles my mind that more institutions aren't doing it!
