@maykl I’m loving that half the questions are asking for roadmap / transparency

@Gargron looks like you been verified. The best ones I read have good interaction both ways. Have fun with it.

New #iOS app update out on the App Store, now with link preview cards and post translations on servers that support them!

@Gargron Social media that’s not pushing constant outrage porn and misinformation is like a breath of fresh air

@Gargron The last couple months have been *wild*. Long live Mastodon.

@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

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 I feel the same about #apple music. I mean, it would be a disjointed disaster, as usual, but I'd still love to see it!

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

@Gargron wishing you a very happy holiday! Thank you for all that you do! 🥰

Annual report for this year is going to be interesting...

@Gargron I'd say "interesting" is a wee bit of an understatement... 😆

egg cat

@Gargron Am I going to be in this report? I have created a trending poll early this year which reached over 900 people in the instance. I would be most grateful if you were to include that in the report. if you don't, thanks for considering lmao

New #Android update out now with new login screen, editing, upload progress, verified links in profiles and more. More to follow…

@Gargron That's good. The #Android app has great potential, it just needs a fair bit of work. I'd really like to be able to view image #alttext without having to go to a different app or the web version.

@Gargron since that update the language changed to German. Do you know how I can restore back to Dutch or who can help me with this?

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

@Gargron And when #gpt3 fails, it fails in a _really_, _very_ _awful_ way(s). Most obvious are the responses where output is plain non sense. They model is only a good as the data fed to it, and sometimes, even that isn’t sufficient. It’s a fun advancement for sure. More work remains to be done.

Someone needs to teach it how to cite its sources.

New #iOS app update with various fixes and improvements out now, including being able to follow and unfollow hashtags in the app. More in the pipeline…

@Gargron please add a global and local timelines. This would make this app perfect!

Roger Claessen

@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.

Eugen Rochko

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 thank you for doing an astounding job! 🙌🏻

Jona Källgren

@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?

Tommaso Marchetti

@Gargron Are you working on way to integrate Tidal/Spotify/YouTube links to share songs/video on @joinmastodon? That would be great!

Eugen Rochko

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 Thanks for the clear and open communication. 👍

Pete_Needham

@Gargron The problem is that you HAVE a moderation team. Moderators distort and ruin everything that they touch.

A kind (of) writer

@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.

Eugen Rochko

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.

@Gargron
I think Gifs are working again?
Can anyone confirm this? 🙂

Eugen Rochko

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
