The newly released 0.7.0 version of @Tuba, your #GNOME-native #Mastodon client, is friggin' awesome. Not only does it ship tons of bugfixes and allows darker images in dark mode, but it also ships the ability to create, edit and apply words filters (as you can see in my screenshot here) so you can simplify your timelines views.

Congratulations to #MastoDev @GeopJr for this fantastic leap forward!

#Tuba v0.7.0 is now available, with many new features and bug fixes!

✨ Highlights:
- Filter handling and editing
- User and Post reporting
- AdwDialogs (thanks oscfdezdz@mstdn.social)
- Tracking parameter stripping on paste (thanks kop316@fosstodon.org)
- 1:1 character counting with Mastodon
- Syntax highlighting

Just a heads up that there will be update is coming to the Mastodon Auto-installer script in just a few days.

It'll be fully interactive, meaning no more code modifications in the script! 🎉 Simply respond to the server prompts during script execution.

And guess what's next? We're considering a GUI installation wizard! 🔮

Am collecting Mastodon server software feature requests - specifically for moderation enhancement that might be helpful as #Threads federates in.

Looking for those that can be doable inside a month or two timeframe, and that don't need #ActivtyPub spec to change first. (Which takes time)

See what you think of this list: and add any others you think fit to me in the comments.

Content warning: CSS Style For Identifying Undescribed Media Click to open/close

Recently, several users expressed a desire for a way to quickly check if the images in the toot they were about to boost were described. It would be nice if Mastodon itself offered warnings for that, as well as for forgetting to describe media in your own posts, but until then, this is actually one problem admins can fix on our own!
All you need to do is go into the site settings and add a bit of CSS code that will display a red border around any undescribed media. There are two examples available, depending on how subtle or noticeable you want the border to be; experiment and see what you like!

Thanks to @IngaLovinde for thinking of the starting code and @FiXato for improving on it! They did all the work here; I am just sharing this along.
Open this post in a new tab and look at the image to see how this can look like. The example image is my avatar, described in another pinned post.
