Thread Sophie Labelle spends way too much time promoting her haters while she could simply work on her comics and her book. I never seen a trans woman hated that much by her own kin and cisgenders before & after Caitlyn Jenner.

So the mastodon.social privacy policy is ok, but if I were the maintainer I'd avoid recording any IP addresses. One thing to consider is that when you're a meganode both state and non-state organisations will become interested in your logs and will try to obtain them either explicitly, with goons showing up and making threats, or also less explicitly with implants and exfiltration or NSLs and gagging orders. If you don't record IPs then in the worst case there's not much that third parties can get.

Another factor to consider is that the demographic of fediverse folks probably includes a higher proportion of non-normative views and lifestyles than you might find in the silos. These non-normative people are precisely the groups which the really bad guys always seek to target. So as maintainer you should be concerned with your user's interests and practice metadata minimization which can limit any potential damage.
BTW mastos, if you want to do the fediverse a huge favor, please fix this bug in mastodon that breaks conversations / threads once they federate to gnu social: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/325

I'm moving over there. That community seems to treat its members better.

While I don't agree with how some programmer handled a member earlier today, I thought about leaving then I considered just blocking that person. It's not like this site belongs to that person, in particular and it's not like my personal opinion of them will change anything. I like to consider this site as a hub of many ideas and people of different backgrounds and culture. Will stick around, but will try to avoid drama as much as I can. Hopefully this site will only get better in time. :sweat:

For anyone asking, I'm talking about Eugen. This sort of behavior is rude and not really professional from someone who claims to be a programmer for this sort of social network. For that reason, I no longer wish to remain on this website as I don't think we're safe with someone like him around.

Before I leave, remember to be aware of this person who claims to be a programmer of this site.

Following the drama with some programmer here with another member, I'm leaving this site. Ciao.

INTRO TO FEDERATION:

1. "mastodon" is a piece of software that runs on a server. There's a lot of servers that run it & u can follow ppl on other servers.

2. When u follow someone from another server, your server receives their toots.

3. The federated TL is all public toots that the server receives, ie all of the toots from everyone that ppl on your server follow.

4. ERGO: if u want to see more toots in the fed TL, follow + get other ppl on your server to follow ppl from other servers!

Yeah, maybe I don't wanna join a social network developed by a guy who thinks it's cool to laugh at folks for getting shit wrong 😒

This is highly unprofessional and unwelcoming, so I'm out. HMU on Twitter @mjanetmars or not. Bye.

Woot! Added a :bear: on my display name. Fits with my physique. XD

Just a tip. If you feel your feeds don't have that much stuff on, try refreshing the page manually. I think there's a bug on some browsers that don't soft-refresh our pages the way it should to.

@TheKinrar let me know if you need mirrors of the instance list at instances.mastodon.xyz. It looks like it's a bit slow lately. I'm also happy to help optimize the code :)

i should probably post an art shouldnt i. here's an alien snowcone truck i did for the krita kickstarter desk calendar (krita is some fantastic opensource digital painting software! krita.org/en/) mastodon.cc/media/IBM6iOHQJI4J

@support Do you think you could add the option to integrate videos with a play button in our posts? Youtube, Twitch, etc.
