๐ก Today is a perfect day to exercise your independence from #BigTech, and #GiveUpGitHub. โฃ๏ธ #GitHub is the equivalent of #Twitter and #Facebook for software development -- creators of the most enticing proprietary walled garden ever made for #FOSS developers. Don't be stuck with Microsoft decides to change the rules on you. Start today.

โ ๏ธ Hey #MastoAdmin FYI there is a Mastodon security update apparently coming 6 July. The reason you probably didn't know about it, is because it was only announced* behind a proprietary centralized paywalled garden. (Not Twitter, but the same effect.) Be ready. * This is not a recommended way to run an #OpenSource community.

@downey First Redhat paywalling, now this. Greed and selfishness strike again.

Such a pity that the official Mastodon post isn't so updated and detailed. https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/110644992947398414

Dear devs, It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. ๐ก Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare. (I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.) :boost_love: Please boost for basic education.

@downey And that they always lie in your face by saying "For the best experience"... Same thing with accessing a cloudflare "protected" site via tor..

Yet another example of the need to focus on making better software, rather than better hardware.

Did you know that the #Mastodon BDFL (still) does not want instances to be able to provide their own icons, logos, colors, etc.? Even that custom icon you know and love from your instance is now marked as "(legacy)" in the latest release.

:fediverse: #Mastodon and/or the #Fediverse is only "ad-free" if we keep it that way. ๐๏ธ Report commercial #spam and #advertising to your local server admin and let them know you don't want it on your instance.

@downey I gave up doing that on .social. I'm happy to see admins speak up against it!

๐ ๐ Cool. Realized you can download the so-called #fedified CSV list and import the file to your #Mastodon #mute list so you don't have to see all the clout chasers coming here thinking that their following count should give them some kind of special privileges in the #Fediverse. :boost_requested: Boost for public service? ๐ Screenshot: @OCRbot eng

@downey Please beware that it looks like a large amount of accounts on this list were simply scraped without their permission. not everyone on it may be consenting to be there

:mastodon: The most underrated high impact feature coming in Mastodon 4.0 is that mods will finally get notifications for User Reports. ๐๐ฝ

@downey In case anybody needs another reason, Lastpass does not encrypt the URI's in your vault.
