"Dragons exist in this show so nothing needs to make sense" no, fuck off. There's a thing called axioms. Dragons existing is an axiom. Nobody turned off physics though.

mastodon instances only live as long as the owner/admin is interested in running them - and often running these types of things for a public audience is pretty thankless. idk, if you're on one of the bigger public or semi-public instances, thank your admin

Mastodon doesn't have any ad code and will never have ad or 3rd party tracking code in the source code.

Also, some website pretending to be a "mastodon ad network" is an excellent example for why the silly ™ mark after the Mastodon name is not such a silly thing

Users are primarily migrating to different instances that all maintain their own rules / cultures (there are a few that maintain the original spirit of masto site culture far better than .social itself can).

Which is the spirit of federation, really.

Dear fellow #Mastodon users. Please be patient with the people creating Mastodon and GNU Social.

Writing software takes time, and the teams working on these applications are very small.

Most of them are also wearing many hats. Some are students, others have full time non-Mastodon jobs. Some admin instances in addtion to writing code.

The Twitter kitchen probably has more people working in it than the entire #Fediverse. Please adjust your expectations accordingly! 😄

I'm really curious to see this Russian sci-fi Attraction, but there are zero signs of it on Netflix, Amazon or even BinSearch… 😿

TO OTHER ADMINS IN THE UNITED STATES:

If you have ANY users following ANYONE from this instance, at THE MINIMUM, purge your image caches IMMEDIATELY.

You are opening yourself to severe legal liability if you do not.

Safe harbour provisions have been ruled not to apply to moderated forums.

This legal climate is far too hostile not to take precautions.

If you or your hosting provider are subpoenaed for any reason (which, if you are a public instance, could happen at ANY TIME) and they find such imagery, you are opening yourself to prison time.

18 U.S.C. § 2252 provides for harsh penalties for dissemination of child pornography: 15 to 30 years and an unlimited fine. State laws usually mandate anyone convicted be registered as a sex offender.

This is no joke. People have gone to jail for this for less.
