Mediaite right wing writer Isaac Schorr misread the Twitter account @joinmastodon as "John Mastodon," and referred to him as the founder of the platform in his article mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy… #tech #twitter #twittermigration #twitterexodus #news #media

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Say hello to Tally for Plausible, a rebrand of my Plausible app to better differentiate it from Plausible Analytics itself!

The app supports:
• Your dashboard from Plausible.io
• Custom domains
• A refreshed design
• Cross-desktop light/dark style
• A more app-like experience
• Theoretically, phones!*

Grab it now from Flathub:

*If you have a Linux phone and want to test Tally, I’d love to see what it looks like.

In advance of deleting my Twitter account, I made this web page that lets you search my tweets, link to an archived version, and read whole threads I wrote.

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar…

I will eventually release this as a website I host where you drop your Twitter zip archive in and it spits out the 100% static site you see here. Then you can just upload it somewhere and you have an archive that is also easy to style how you like it.

My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:

tinysubversions.com/twitter-ar…

The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.

The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!

Today's #AndroidAppRain has 37 updated apps at @fdroidorg – and at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid brings you 10 updated apps and the wonder of the 1001 night, ahem, app:

* Amaze Utilities: the All-in-One file explorer – analyse, transfer and open files all in one app

Also, descriptions of apps from the #IzzySoftRepo should now render better in your F-Droid client (hopefully).

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with #FDroid and the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP...THIS PARTICULAR MEDIOCRE, UNREMARKABLE, WHITE TECH DUDE IS SO FUCKIN FRAGILE THAT HE'S THREATENED BY USERS BROADCASTING TO THE COMMUNITIES, THAT THEY'VE BUILT, WHERE TO FIND THEM ELSEWHERE BECAUSE OF HIS OWN ERRATIC, CHAOTIC, UNHINGED BEHAVIOR

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉

Oh this is too good. Since Twitter is now blocking Mastodon links, someone has created a link shortener to hide them. Gotta love the URL:

Show image Description in Fancybox?


Hi grischa@friends.brockha.us CC @Friendica Support

Does fancybox add-on currently support displaying the image description (more formally, the content of the "alt" attribute of the img tag), and if yes, how / where? If no, do we want to add it?

in reply to Grischa

That is really great. Thank you very much! ❤

I would assume, that blind people don't use fancybox


I think it is not on us to decide it, and I am convinced by the slogan "a good inclusion measure is beneficial to anybody".

To be honest I got very quickly used to read the descriptions by myself since I often find it interesting how people describe their content and in some rare cases it helped me to understand what I "see" on the image in the first place. :-D

Mohammad Nasiri.

In Iran, 21 year old Mohammad Nasiri has been sentenced to death for waging war with God by giving out chocolates and free hugs at recent protests.

Mohammad Nasiri.

He hasn't been executed yet. The Iranian authorities are feeling immense pressure to change course both from within Iran and internationally.

Mohammad Nasiri.

Say his name. It might help keep him alive.

Photograph of #Mastodon founder #JoanMastodon from the early 1960's. Mastodon is seen manually transcribing telegraphed toots into the first ever instance (in background). Mastodon gained late fame when she was banned from Twitter while being mistaken with a guy called #JohnMastodon who actually never existed.

‘By saying that numerous, completely benign Mastodon servers are harmful, they make it more difficult to tell when there's an actual threat. It's a betrayal of the very simple idea that you should only tell people something is dangerous when it's actually dangerous.’ —@maxeddy for PC Magazine

Something to think about.
