One thing I noticed when first joining #mastodon and running an instance, is that the quality of content on open relays are just horrible.
So I decided to create a moderated / curated relay. Mostly targeted toward smaller instances that want to bootstrap to the federation but don't want all the noise.
It is still a new relay with only about 25 small instances connected, but I hope that in the future it can provide quality content.
the Relay is: relay.neovibe.app/
Well, it worked. Image was shown here reduced to 75% of its size 🤷♂️
Aww, wait: the entire image, not just the table. He didn't specify the target element / selector precisely enough – and the entire deck (which you see is comprised of table cells) was reduced 🤦♂️
Yeah, still the same problems…

Before you even consider donating more money to an already well-funded cis white men who's got a terrible track record when it comes to approving features that marginalized people have been asking for, maybe send that cash to marginalized folks who built community protection features like Marcia & Ginger, who are in much more precarious situations?
This is a Twitter thread for Mastodon admins (yes, I see the irony).
Makes a very good point that most Mastodons are not setup to deal with DMCA take down notices, and potentially vulnerable to copyright violations directly.

I have zero interest in sports and he's a professional sportscaster on ESPN, but he doesn't talk about sports much on the podcast. He has a beautiful dynamic speaking style and what he says about work, race, morality the issues of our time ring true to me.

Is there a communication channel among the network of Mastodon server moderators? A consensus norm? The people who created the internet used email and a loose decision protocol. The shared norm that enabled their successful collaboration: "We reject: kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code," was coined by David Clark in 1992.

Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.

@IzzyOnDroid we are sorry for the bug and any inconvenience, it should be fixed now, can you please re-check?
the list is so small because until today only organisations have been able to sign the letter and the list is also only updated every 24 hours, so the list will be longer tomorrow : )
@fsfe@mastodon.social I have to admit I simply manipulated the HTML (via inspector) to remove the mandatory flag before sending the form (which worked, so I've already signed).
Looking at the form now: yes, looks good – thanks!

I know we can't convince everyone to embrace decentralization, but it irks me that people haven't learned this lesson yet.
