#PSA: If someone says they accidentally reported you, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to verify your Mastodon account, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to change the email address on your account, it's a scam.
If someone tries to lure you off-platform to Discord or Telegram, it's a scam.
If someone jumps into your replies or DMs with a mutual aid request, it's a scam.
If someone from mastodon.social sends you an unsolicited DM, it's a scam.

Telltale signs of a scam:
- wants you to move off-site - wants you to change account settings - wants you to click something - unsolicited private interactions - new account - under ~20 followers and over ~5:1 follow ratio - sense of urgency - appeals to your compassion - piggybacks on a trending post or event
Thank you to all the new followers I got in the recent month, my posts are really not that interesting, I mostly complain about the state of tech and how cool tabletop roleplaying games are
Anyone on here also use Bluesky? I signed up back in June but am really just starting to use it regularly. I'm not giving up on Mastodon, but Bluesky is where a lot of news orgs migrated and I miss having those news sources. I should also note that Bluesky has really great hashtag alt text settings, but I have not come across anyone who uses them yet. It makes me wonder why did that catch on over here, and not there? Is there just something about mastodon users that makes them more inclined to care about #Accessibility?
I tried but since there seems not to be a convenient Windows third-party client, I decided to wait. Also want to try Threads, but again, it's web interface I guess.
@menelion If the person allows it, you can follow threads accounts on the fediverse. I use the Threads app on my iPhone, but it's not the greatest. If the posts are text posts, they're fine. If it's a picture post, there is no old text. Nothing even says that it's a picture post, it just seems like a blank post. I am not very impressed with threads.
@menelion Yeah, then you're right you're just looking at a web interface for now. I don't even use Threads or blueSky on my computer. I do it all on the phone. I don't think there are any options for computer use that I know of, and I am a Mac user anyway. Hopefully, someone develops something.
hello how are you doing am new to this social networking site and i will like to make a new friends here and more over i love making new new friends every where

The demo of DECtalk 4.3 includes a file named WORLD2.WAV, which is used as an example to demonstrate DECtalk's ability to play WAV files with a command. I recently found a higher quality 22 kHz version of this demo file, as part of The Adventures of Ninja Nanny & Sherrloch Sheltie of all things, under the name 1DONARAI.WAV. This version has a time stamp of October 27, 1990. The version included in the DECtalk 4.3 demo has a time stamp of July 13, 1994, and is downsampled to 11025 kHz, but also upsampled to 16 bit for some reason. I still don't know the source, but I suspect it's from a stock music library. For those who've never heard of The Adventures of Ninja Nanny & Sherrloch Sheltie, here's the LGR video covering it. It's supposed to be edutainment, but mostly ends up as a wild mishmash of public domain and stock music material stroon everywhere. youtube.com/watch?v=xSxaUHT3yo…. The original WAV file is available here: drive.google.com/uc?id=1LDNUtE….
We estimate there are ~4 times more relays than in the published list at chatmail.at/relays
Many relays are smaller ones, but that's fine. A 5 EUR per month VPS can go a long way (thousands or tens of thousands of monthly users). Thanks for the service to all the operators of which around 40 are in a loose group chat 💗
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!
thousands of small VPSs running on different infrastructure providers can support millions of users together. A chat platform that will truly belong to no one and everyone.
@ariarhythmic yes, it's not currently limited but don't do more than 3 or max 5. There is no point, and your device will keep open as many network connections. If all your three relays die, you can still add another one then, send a message to your chats, and are in the chat game again.
@Delta Chat @GoFedi Any chance y'all could offer this? Currently I'm running on a dedicated account on my email server, but I don't like how much space its taking up over there.
@GoFedi @Delta Chat I'm not sure its a relay I'm looking for or a host? I do know that my current system is less than ideal and prolly could use a replacement, but I'd still like to keep it on my domain if possible.
Queridas, ¿conocéis alguna base de datos de árboles mediterráneos que pueda usar alumnado de 1º de bachillerato? Os cuento: estamos diseñando un refugio climático, y tienen qué elegir qué árboles se podrían plantar, según las características. La base de datos debería incluir cómo de grande puede llegar a ser el árbol, si es de hoja caduca o perenne, si necesita riego, idealmente alguna foto, y cuál es la distancia que necesita para ser plantado. No quiero que lo busquen directamente en google porque ya sabéis. ¡Gracias! #Ayuda #Mastoayuda #Arboles #RefugiosClimaticos

#Christmas tastes nice. From the reaction of my humans, this was probably supposed to be a decoration. How was a #cat supposed to know?
Der geteilte #Flohmarkt #LogIn, also dass die Eingabefelder für Benutzer und PW nicht gemeinsam auf einer Form angezeigt werden, scheint es @keepassxc@fosstodon.org unmöglich zu machen, die Zugangsdaten vollständig einzutragen ... Ob man das ändern könnte, @grindhold@23.social ?
für den ersten login ist das leider nicht mehr möglich, da es jetzt backends gibts, die teilweise gar kein passwort brauchen.
nachdem du dich einmal erfolgreich eingeloggt hast, sollte sich das system aber merken als welcher user du zuletzt eingeloggt warst und dir wieder ein formulat mit username/password-feldern anzeigen. hast du das schon probiert?
Naja, das geht, zumindest bei mir, solange ich den Browser aktiv/ offen lasse und mich aus und erneut einlogge. Das ist ja aber schon eine seltene Ausnahme, jedenfalls bei mir.
Den Benutzernamen ordnet der PW-Manger immer zu, aber für das PW muss man dann teils zusätzlich in den Optionen des Managers herumklickern. Da geht der Vorteil des Managers bezügl. useability m.M. verloren...

⚠️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.
There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.

The next time I have someone from a weed control company ring our doorbell, I am going to tell them that unless they can find any weeds that are triffids, we aren't interested.
