@Gargron have you considered taking legal action against the deletion of the account? as far as i know, they can't just delete accounts if they don't violate the law or platform rules. maybe @Anwalt_Jun could help it would be a great signal that elon has to respect (german) law and that mastodon is the alternative Would you be interested in getting any of the following #Mastodon merch items?

I'm a little disappointed #Tidal doesn't just copy #SpotifyWrapped so I can do a little shout-out to my favourite bands at the same time as everyone else...

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

ChatGPT is at best impressive as a search engine where you can't tell how reliable the source is.

@Gargron to get the list of “following” 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. 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 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? @Gargron Are you working on way to integrate Tidal/Spotify/YouTube links to share songs/video on @joinmastodon? That would be great! 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 The problem is that you HAVE a moderation team. Moderators distort and ruin everything that they touch. @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. 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 “Thank you!” I appreciate the care and effort you put into the platform. 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

@Gargron Any chance you can add your new CloudFlare config knowledge to the Mastodon docs to help other admins? @Gargron This post make it to my google news feed - you're doing something right! |
